For the Holiday Procrastinator

Dear Holiday Procrastinator,

Has it just dawned on you that this is the week of Christmas and Hanukkah?  Have you not yet made your list, let alone checked it twice?  Don't worry, at A Fine Line we are ready and able to take care of every need.  At AFL we understand your dilemma, mainly because we've been so busy, most of us are in the same boat!  When you enter our store in your somewhat panicked state, you will not be frowned upon - you will be smiled upon and greeted warmly.  You will not be chided - you will be guided to ...

Christmas ornaments, Christmas decor, and Christmas-themed soaps, candles and sachets (some at 25% off!) which are perfect for Christmas party hostess gifts.  You can even stock up on some of these items and use them for holiday parties next year.

Looking for hostess gifts for Hanukkah or New Year's parties?  AFL has a lovely selection of candles,

stationery (many of which can be personalized),

home decor items,

fun wine accessories,

and lovely votives.

Oh, dear.  You still need something fabulous for that hard-to-buy-for loved one?  A Fine Line has a beautiful selection of Jay Strongwater merchandise,

fine linens,

Lindsey Phillips shoes and handbags, and jewelry. 

Some of our newest designs feature sweet sayings, such as "My Kids Rock",  "Sweet Mama", "So Blessed", and "Girlfriends make the world sweeter". 

AFL is also pleased to provide an extensive variety of Tokyo Milk fragrances, lotions, soaps, bubble bath and candles.

Welcoming a new little angel into your family?  AFL carries a darling line of baby bedding, all-natural baby products, and 100% organic cotton baby clothes.

So you see, dear friends, although you may be a Holiday Procrastinator, A Fine Line is happy to help you to a stress-free Holiday week.  Please note our special holiday hours listed below.

Wishing peace and blessings to you and yours on behalf of A Fine Line,

We Love To Share...

At A Fine Line, we count ourselves very fortunate to be able to work with some of the finest vendors in Tucson.  We love sharing their merchandise and expertise with you whenever possible.  This year, one of our favorite "finds" has been Annette Hartman Catering.  She has catered several of our special events, and everyone raves about how tasty everything is.

The food is superb. In fact, Jeanne states that you can taste the love in every bite.

Whether catering weddings,

indoor affairs,

or outdoor venues, you can be sure that the service will be superb, friendly, and that the presentations will be beautiful.

In addition to catering, Annette Hartman also hosts two other businesses in the Copper Country Antiques store at 5055 E. Speedway Blvd., Tucson AZ.

Amelia Grey's Tea Garden is a sweet venue available for showers and private parties.  A Fine Line is pleased to have a small vignette displaying merchandise from the store, as well as darling flea market and estate sale items for sale.

Please take the opportunity to visit our little "store away from store", and sample the delicious food at the restaurant and tea garden.  We are certain you will enjoy it as much as we do.  Also, please take note below of our special Holiday Shopping Hours.

Extended Holiday Hours: Sat (12/17) Open 9:30 to 6:00; Closed Sun; Mon (12/19) Open 10-3: Tues – Fri (12/20-23) Open 9:30-6; Sat (12/24) Open 10-3.

Home Tour on Friday & Saturday

If you've been contemplating whether it would be worth the drive to see my home in Oro Valley the answer is "yes".  I've lived in this town for almost 20 years now and if you haven't seen the view of the Catalina Mountains from this side you just have to see how pretty it is.  The drive from the east side of town isn't that bad - I do it each way every day.

Marcella gave you a little look at a few vignettes of my Christmas decor to whet your appetite but I just couldn't wait to share more than just a little sneak peek of my home.

My dear friends, Jane Bee and Kathy Dwyer, took these amazing photos of my home trimmed for Christmas and they are so beautiful I just had to post them immediately!

You'll be inspired to update your own home and gather easy decorating ideas that you can implement yourself.

Or, have me do a holiday decorating consultation.  While we are not formally offering decorating services yet at A Fine Line (a possible plan for 2012), I do have a few appointment slots available to consult with you in your own home this season.  I'll help you combine your treasured holiday collection with some new decor to update your look.  I'm a "use what you have" kind of gal that loves to "freshen it up" with some new accents.

I hope to see you Friday from 10am-9pm (cocktails starting at 4pm) or Saturday from 10am-4pm.  My address is 622 West Silver Eagle Court (not too far from Tangerine and Oracle).

together with the crew - Nancy, Kristi, Ann, Cherie, Melinda and Marcella

PS - As an added bonus, don't forget that Donna Maas will be here with her exquisite DMaas Custom Jewelry Designs.  We carry some of Donna's pieces throughout the year at AFL but you won't want to miss this opportunity to see her entire collection of beautiful designs.  View her photos at www.facebook.com/dmaasdesigns.
