First Blog Post Evah! Connecting With Our Inner Blogger

After years of procrastinating, we will attempt this blog thing.  I will try to post regularly, to entertain you with my rapier wit, and to do whatever else may be necessary to blogify Sense of Wonder.   Within reason.  Yes, it is about time we joined the blog club.  Hopefully, this will keep you updated about cool new stuff we have in our stores,  special events, gift-buying tips, and probably more information about us than you really want to know.  I’m told blogging is like keeping a business diary.  For the whole world potentially to read.  With pictures.  Yikes. So much for the lock and key and the hiding place under my bed.  It will not surprise you to learn that, for the most part, the “I” blogger here is Jean Smith a/k/a “Mrs. Wonder.”  The chances of Mr. Wonder blogging? Slim to none.  So, must I promise to behave?

“a wicked cool store for gifts and lots more”

Seriously? It took us 15 years to come up with that tagline? That’s the best I can do to describe our retail store?  Actually, I prefer: “Sense of Wonder is the kind of store you see on vacation…you wander around, marvel at all the beautiful artsy stuff, take it all in, and realize you can’t leave until you get the perfect something to remind you of your time away.  Except — Sense of Wonder isn’t in a resort town.  Instead, it’s in your own neighborhood, and you can visit anytime you need a special gift or want to treat yourself.”  Yup, that’s how I would describe Sense of Wonder.  But that won’t fit on our business card.
