Caliber Hats

So with summer coming you need something to shade your eyes, or maybe you just need a conversation piece… Well have I got a deal for you

Caliber Hat Window Display

So here’s the story on the Caliber Hats.  My mom & dad sell western wear at the rodeos in Western Canada.  Every winter they head to Florida and go around to their wholesalers to pick up product for the upcoming season.  While at one of their wholesalers, my mom spied a bunch of hats, lots of hats and asked why they were sitting where they were.  Turns out that in the summer of 2010 the wholesale company in Texas had a load of hats being shipped in from Mexico where these particular hats are made.  The truck driver decided to stop for the night in San Fernando, Mexico before heading across the boarder.  Just as he was entering his motel room a gun fight broke out between the Mexican Police and the Drug Cartel in the parking lot with his truck in the middle of the fray!! The truck was riddled with bullet holes and the hats along with it.  The truck driver never entered that truck again, he walked away and left it where it was sitting.  So now, the wholesale company has these hats and doesn’t know what to do with them.

Mom was recounting this story to my husband and I while we were at our local legion and a couple of the guys and ourselves thought it was quite an interesting story.  We decided then and there to purchase these hats!  My mom bought the whole load and I bought 2 dozen of them.  A couple are already spoken for by the guys at the legion, but if you are in the market for a new hat with a great conversation starter, look no further

These hats regularly sell for around $70.00 and that is without the holes or the great story attached.  We are selling them for $24.99.  They come in a range of size from 6 7/8 to 7 3/8

Of course if you’d like to purchase some hats or other western wear without bullet holes you can go to my mom & dads site at R Place Western or visit them at one of the rodeos that they sell their wares at.

Until Next Time,

Christmas 2011

Oh my where has the time gone?  It’s been ages since I’ve posted, but I do have a good excuse… I think :}  First off, my husband I were incredibly busy with rehearsals and then the performances of “A Bad Year For Tomatoes”.  We had a blast and from all accounts so did our audiences.  Then I got sick.  It took a couple of weeks to recover from whatever plague I contracted, but other than a lingering cough I’m better.  Then I got busy again.  So, lets catch up with what I’ve been up to for the Christmas Season.

First of all, the Christmas tree was put up (side down) a little later than usual, but here she is in all her upside down glory!

Upside Down Christmas Tree 2011

Most people love my upside down tree, others could take it or leave it… then there are those weird few who think there is some sinister reason that I hang the Christmas Tree upside down.  Well, there is a very good explanation for it and if you are interested in finding out what it is click here.

Now let’s have a peek at some of the new items I have in for Christmas 2011.

Our first goodies are hand crafted construction vehicles.  Made by Keith Massey, these vehicles are made entirely of wood, are about 1/24th scale and are moveable.  Do you have a guy who is impossible to buy for?  These just may be what Santa ordered

1/24th Wood Hi-Hoe $99.00

1/24th scale Skid Steer $99.00

1/24 scale Bull Dozer $99.00

1/24th scale Back Hoe $99.00

1/24th scale Fire Truck $299.00

Aren’t theses just fabulous!?  The detail is just crazy!  Within 24 hours of having them on display in my store window I sold my first piece!  Anyway, if you are interested in seeing more pictures of these pieces just drop me a line, I’d be happy to email them to you.

Now lets have a peek at a few girly things

Chocolate flavored Lip Gloss $3.99 ea

These are absolutely yummy, but wait, they’ll last for more than a bite or two, and they won’t melt in your purse or hand.  Under neath the chocolaty candy coating is Chocolate Flavored Lip Gloss.  How real do these look!  What a great stocking stuffer for any lady on you list!

Crystal Nail Files $9.99 ea

Crystal Nail Files are extremely smooth and gentle and yet highly effective. Metal files and emery boards tear the nail as they file leaving rough, sharp edges. Crystal Nail Files glide across the nail, sealing the tip as they file. You can quickly shape your nails to a beautiful, flawless finish.  They work on both natural and artificial nails and can be cleaned with soap and water.  They are durable and won’t wear down like regular nail files.  And, you can fly with them… no I don’t mean put one in each hand and start flapping, I mean since they have rounded ends and don’t come to a point like other nail files they can be taken on an air plane!  They come in a range of animal prints and are generously sized measuring 7 3/4″ long by just over 3/4″ wide and come in a plastic sleeve.  I’ve seen these in other stores and online for upwards of $20 or more, but I’ve got a fantastic supplier and can sell them for just $9.99 each.

Now, just for giggles I’m gonna tempt your sweet tooth

Birnn Chocolate Truffles!

Birnn Truffles $9.99 ea

These European style truffles use fresh heavy cream to make an assortment of flavored ganache centers, then they are dipped in milk, dark or white chocolate.  Always enjoy truffles at room temperature to savor their richness.  6 piece assorted gift box $9.99 ea.

Chocolate Box with Candy $9.99

We’ve got just a few of these left, I really should have ordered more.  Milk chocolate box filled with Christmas candy.  When you’ve finished all the candy, you get to eat the box… how environmentally friendly is that!  $9.99 each.

And finally here’s what’s happening in down town Mount Forest.  I’ve joined the Chamber Christmas promotion again this year and we have a few special events happening
