Doug's New Best Friends

Well who could have imagined that Doug would find not one, but two furry friends to keep him company during the day.

Skinny Bones pictured above loves to sleep on the table by the window...never mind that she is hanging out with the crows. It was amusing to see people come in and think that she was a stuffed cat made to look real. Then she would wake up and meow..LOL.

Socks pictured below is a whole other story. He is your typical Tom Cat. He likes to sleep and eat! Especially people food. He is more like a dog than a cat. He as you can see also enjoys trying out all the new items in the shop, such as this cat bed!

Quite a curious duo they make!

NOW ON FACEBOOK!

Check out our new page now on Facebook! We will post pictures and updates on both the blog and Facebook routinely, for all of our faithful shoppers.

CROSSROADS Candles are HERE!!!

Well after much anticipation the candles arrived. I will tell you what, the shop will never smell the same. What use to be the smell of ink on the press is now replaced with Cinnamon Bun, and Hot Apple Pie! Too bad Doug's sense of smell wasn't better...LOL. Renee worked very hard at getting the candles priced and up to the shop for the weekend. We will now carry two sizes of jars, votives, and candle melts. We also have the CROSSROADS exclusive picture line! Stop in this weekend and check us out. We will be open 9-5 on Saturday. We are having Cider and Donut Holes for all of you shoppers! See you soon!

Renee is working hard on getting her Halloween/Seasonal stuff put together so that it will be there for the festival. Our Crossroad's Candles are also arriving this week. We will now have Jar Candles in assorted sizes and fragrances, votives and tarts; with some exclusive framed art from Crossroad's Candles as well! Come and enjoy the fun in Deckerville on Saturday September 18th! We look forward to seeing you!

Why the Crow?

A lot of people have been asking us about our logo. What's with the crow you might ask yourself? Well truthfully we just kind of like them! They are a popular symbol among crafters and antique stores. They are utilized mostly with primitive decorating. We (Doug and I) spent many nights searching the internet for different ideas for a logo until we came upon the one to the right! Our logo wasn't your typical outlined simple crow, it was a little different. We wanted to develop a logo that reminded people of that old world charm! We hope that you like it. Below is a story about the symbol of the crow and its meaning; it gives you a little bit of background information.......ENJOY!

Crow is an omen of change. Crows live in the void and have no sense of time, therefore being able to see past, present and future simultaneously. They unite both the light and the dark, both the inner and the outer.

Crow is the totem of the Great Spirit and must be held with utmost respect. They are representations of creation and spiritual strength. Crows are messengers, telling us about the creation and magic all around us, that is available to us just for the asking. Look for opportunities to bring into being the magic of life.

The striking black colour of the crow represents the colour of creation. It is the womb out of which the new comes into existence. Black is the colour of the night, giving birth to the light of a new day.

Crows are sly and can be deceptive in their actions. They have been known to build false nests high in treetops to confuse predators. Their nests are built very high up, giving them the chance to watch everything that is going on around them. As crows are adaptable to all environments and will eat almost anything, they can survive in almost any situation.

Crow is surrounded by magic, unseen forces and spiritual strength. If crow enters your life, get out of your familiar nest, look beyond your present range of vision, listen to the message(s) in its caw and act accordingly.
