June 2010 Dallas Market...

This past weekend I attended the Dallas Gift Market with Mom and Becky. We had a lot of fun, did a lot of walking, saw a lot of great gift ideas, and put the credit card to a lot of use! The June Market is always the time we gear up for the Holidays. While it is hard to think about Christmas time in 100 degree temperatures, we are lucky they keep the showroom floors at about 50 degrees which helps us to think about cooler days ahead.

We reordered many of our most popular items. The horned (or horny...whichever your preference) toads have been such a big hit that we ordered LOTS more and will be getting in some new designs as well. We also found some great UT, Tech, A&M, and TCU items for those looking for unique collegiate gifts. And we ordered more jalapeno grillers, Texas waffle makers, and Texas gifts and souvenirs. Plus for my serious coffee drinkers (Jeri)...don't worry! I got plenty of our delicious Southern Pecan coffee headed this way! I told them to ship ASAP so I hope it will be here by the first of next week. They even have a new coffee flavor...Butter Pecan Rum that I got to try as well.

As I mentioned, we also focused on Christmas so we ordered lots of great Texas and western ornaments and home decor items. If you are looking for a unique gift come Christmas time, the Pecan Shed is the place to shop!

After two very busy and full days at Market my feet (and my bank account) were glad to be back in Wichita Falls. We came home to some cooler temperatures and nice rain too which made it even better to be back home!!!

Perhaps why an Elephant never Forgets...

Today on AOL there was an article about how nuts and other foods help people retain information. Basically the story said that the "healthy fats" found in nuts, salmon, vegetable oils, etc. help the brain to remember things better. The author used a lot of scientific terms, big words, and initials, but the main idea of the story (if I remember it right) was that nuts (PECANS, PECANS, PECANS) help people to remember things especially if consumed right before the person gets the information.

I guess this is why the old saying about elephants never forgetting holds so true...elephants eat a lot of peanuts. Just imagine how much they could remember if they ate pecans!!!

Father's Day...

Father's Day is just around the corner (June 20th to be exact) and the Pecan Shed has lots of great gifts for all kinds of Dads. We have University of Texas, Texas Tech, and Texas A&M gifts for the collegiate lover. For the Dad who loves to grill, we have Jalapeno Grillers, aprons, smoke bags, cookbooks, marinades, glazes and so much more. We also have unique Texas gifts for a unique Texas Dad such as horny toads, Texas flags, mugs, and magnets, Texas polo style shirts, and signs to decorate his home or office. Of course, if your Dad is one sweet guy, we have lots of sweet treats for him. Our Homemade Fudge comes in delicious flavors including Chocolate Pecan, Turtle, Butter Pecan, Mint Oreo, Orange Cream, and so much more. We also have our candied and spiced pecans, pecan brittle, pralines, and all sorts of jams, jellies, and preserves that I know he would just love.

So if you need the perfect gift for the perfect Dad the Pecan Shed is the place to find all that Dad would love! We are open Monday through Saturday 9am until 5pm so come on by for a visit!
