We start shopping for our Christmas season in January. Yes, it is hard to beleive, but it takes us a full year to prepare for a selling season that is a short two months. At the January gift market in Atlanta, we hit the halls running, searching for new and exciting products to bring you. We’ve got a good jump on it, and here are a few of the treats that will be in store for you at our Holiday Open House in early October.

I have had some requests to see how our home looks during the Christmas season. This morning, we awoke to the season’s first snowfall, and the view from the bedroom window inspired this post.

I had some appointments today in Sweetwater, and there were a few minutes left for me to visit the store. Bobby does such an amazing job with the shop. It was so festive today, and everything was in the perfect spot, clean, and beautiful. If Bobby Todd at Christmas doesn’t get you in the holiday spirit, nothing else will. We shot these few photos to give you a little peek inside the world of Bobby Todd at Christmas.
