It doesn’t get any better than sitting on the shore of Lake Michigan with family and friends to enjoy a small town fireworks display over our great Lake Michigan.  So for those of you who won’t be able to be here in person, I found this video online showing the 2008 fireworks on youtube. These are by Ken Scott Photography

As I watch the news everyday and am overwhelmed with all of the gloom and doom that is presented to viewers on a daily basis, I started to think about things that I have in the store that have an excellent value. One of the best is this sweater from BKG & Co. At $59.50, the price is very reasonable, the selection of colors is amazing, and it is a great quality sweater. It is 100% cotton and truly easy care – machine wash and tumble dry. While it is an easy, boxy, one size fits all, it is available in three fits…a mini-fit, which is cropped to the waist and smaller in the body than the others, a BKG-fit, which is longer (to the top of the leg) with a relaxed, dropped shoulder, and the BKG trim-fit, which is the longer length with a set in sleeve. So, then, when all of the color choices are added into the mix, you can see that this sweater is perfect for a winter pick-me-up. You can view these, and other BKG & Co on our site

Leland is beautiful in the winter – in definite contrast to summer, it is very laid back and relaxing.
