The book signing at Greenthumb International this past Saturday (11/14/09) was fantastic fun!

I’m not sure how Bryan, Kirki and their wonderful staff keep doing it, but they make this open house event more colorful and festive each year.  This store is noted for their all out Christmas decorating and tree dressing, but this year they added a bookend walk in Christmas display near the front of the store that really boosted the store’s holiday charm.

They had a wonderful signing station set up for me, and with live music, cookies, cider and multiple giveaways of Christmas themed gifts, it was a splendid open house to kick off the season just right. I saw return visitors from last year that purchased a book who even picked up another copy for new friends and family this year.  Lots of children dropped by too – a few tried the game and even found a few of the hidden clues on the fly!

I really enjoy signing at the store, and hope to see you out there soon.  We are working out a follow up date for this season, and I’ll post it to this blog as soon as it’s firm.  I buy many of my Christmas ornaments at Greenthumb and have for years.  Maybe I’ll bump into you around the ornament section.  Cheers.
