Blinking Star Tree This tree is perfect for a holiday centerpiece. The magic wand from Disneyland will blink either white or red/green.

That is, “Now what do we do with all of this product?” The answer is… The LOFT — a fun name for Left Over Favorite Things. “The Loft is our temporary store just full of great products that just would not fit into our new store,” said owner Pat Sutliff. “And it was great before; it’s even better now at 50 percent off.” The Loft also contains several furniture pieces and many store fixtures and...
