caramel in carmel

Yep, here at Oliver's Twist. So much for those last five pounds. Today we got a huge shipment from Abdalah Chocolates and Hammonds Candies. Our selection includes chocolate, vanilla, and pecan caramels, cashew grizzlies (turtles), toffee bars, and my favorite, chocolate covered caramels.

For the holidays, we got these BIG vintage candy canes in 6 different flavors including cranberry, wintergreen, peppermint, strawberry, etc. We also got "Coal Candy" for stocking stuffers, which is black cinnamon candies packaged in the cutest little bag. I can think of a few people on my list to give that to....

meryn grace

We had the pleasure of doing baby announcements for sweet little Meryn Grace this week. This baby is the cutest little thing and is always decked out when she visits our store with her mom, Carlie. Carlie and Meryn must have a ton of friends because we did 150 announcements for them! We used a metallic pink gate fold with a circle tag and dark gray accents. On the tag was her monogram and around it read "Miracles do happen, Dreams do come true". I wish I could say I made that up, but I can't, Carlie brought it to me. Congratulations Carlie on your little bundle of joy!
