Treats for July 4

Just got a nice little shipment of fun things to help celebrate the 4th of July. Can't really see our sparklers (tall tube packages) in the photo, but these guys are the real thing: super bright sparkles, totally safe for holding in your hand, and long-lasting. Not those cheap things that sputter away. Poof balls are paper balls that come with 'shooters' -- again, very safe (although you don't want to stand 2" away from someone's eye) and the paper is biodegradeable. The kids will go crazy with these (big kids, too - we had quite a poof ball war at our house last New Year's eve). And the little "Pops" are so sweet for putting at each place setting for your July 4 bbq. Pull the string for a confetti blast.

Perhaps best of all, these are all made by a really nice company in Eugene; everything is hand made there by local artisans. Just the kind of thing we love.

By the way, we'll be open at Pomegranate on the 4th of July, since Mollie said she no longer wants to be in the Pet Parade (too limpy)... but we'll be closing up around 3pm so we can go home and get ready for friends and family to invade us for our traditional 4th of July bbq and extreme croquet game. So stop by for a little browsing, or for any last minute treats you might need. We will be open on Sunday, too, from 11-4.
