They did it!

My girls have done a fabulous job this year of keeping up to the challenges of our growing business. They're a fantastic crew and they've earned themselves a trip to NYC to see the Rockette's Christmas Show at Radio City Music Hall. We'll be heading out December 19th but Little Specialty Shop will remain open for your holiday shopping. Tina and Roseanne are staying behind to man the shop. Don't worry-we'll bring them back something nice!
Ps-pictures of the fashion show are coming up next. It was glamour all the way:)

Guess where we're going????

What we do after the show!

Mark your calendar NOW mom!


Little Specialty Shop is hosting a "Secret Shoppe" on December 9th from 3-8pm.
Kids can shop for mom (or auntie or grandma or sister, etc) while mom has a complimentary parafin treatment in the loft.
Gifts range in price from $8-$40 and may include jewelry, scarves, home decor, wallets, luggage tags, lunchbags, sunglasses, reading glasses, tights, and more!
I'm paying the taxes for the kids and Santa's elves will be on hand to help kids wrap their treasures.
WE'll see you on the 9th!

PS-mom's "wish list" forms are now available at the shop to help us help your child choose an appropriate gift for you. Pick yours up today!

Thank you!


Thanks to everyone who attended the Downtown Christmas Openhouse this weekend! We had a beautiful day on Friday for a walking tour of the town and the tree lighting ceremony. Saturday, not so much! Although it poured rain, we had many customers in to shop for holiday outfits and for gift giving. This weekend, we saw more NEW people in Little Specialty Shop then ever before! We had many customers in from Ottawa and Perth especially.
Thank you for choosing to spend your dollars in Sensational Smiths Falls!

You'll want to get in this week and see all of the new things in store. We sold lots of furniture on the weekend so the loft has been re-stocked and consignors have been busy bringing us Christmas decorations. We have what you need to decorate your home for the holdiays at budget friendly prices.

Beginning this week, we'll have a different special on one of our NEW lines of clothing every few days. We'll feature something different at a special price for 3-4 days only. You'll need to shop often ladies!

Thanks again to everyone who supported your downtown businesses this weekend. We love our customers!

Thank you


As I sit here contemplating what to wear tomorrow to be warm at the Remembrance Day service, I'm thankful that I have choices.
Thank you to those who served and who are serving now to protect the freedoms that I enjoy.
Many of my customers are military wives and I thank you for the sacrifices that you and your families make each day.
I will remember!

ALL NEW home decor arrivals

LSS November notes

We've all heard it a hundred times but it's hit home for me this year more than ever. Shopping locally keeps our businesses in business. Have you looked around at your downtown businesses lately? We have the neatest stuff! I know that our teens want some of the brands that we can't get here but how about joining me in committing to purchasing a huge portion of your holiday needs right here in Smiths Falls? At least 60 cents of every dollar spent here stays right here in Sensational Smiths Falls. So, I challenge you to buy as much as you possibly can right here. Take a tour around town and just find out what we have to offer. You'll be glad you did!
