It’s been a crazy couple of weeks, folks, but all that hard work is paying off. Traffic over at C&L is through the roof and I’m so happy we’re doing well.
I got to spend my day off with a couple of friends. We went to the holiday craft fair at Greensgrow, my local urban farm, had breakfast at the Memphis Taproom (you might have seen it on the Food Network’s “Diners Drive-Ins and Dives”) and then headed downtown to see the Christmas show at the Comcast Center.
Then we headed over to the annual Christmas Village at the city’s Love Park. (A short walk from Suburban Station, for your suburbanites.) I’m embarrassed to say I’ve driven past it for the ten years or so it’s been around. I just assumed it was junk, so never stopped to check it out. It’s not. It’s a bunch of cool, curated, high-quality stuff with prices ranging from low to out of this world. (I bought myself a nice little laughing Buddha for $4!) There’s a MASSIVE tent of high-quality German Christmas ornaments that’s like nothing I’ve ever seen.
There’s still time to do some shopping, and you can grab some hot chocolate and Belgian waffles while you’re there.
I think C&L is looking and working great. I did notice some grumbling over the comment process or something. Frankly I couldn’t figure out what the complaint was. I guess I’m not tech savvy enough to fuck up the browsing process. Anyway congratulations to everyone at the site.
