We'd like to extend a YesterNook welcome to our newest vendors, Debbie and Gary, who are using booth number 333! Stop by and check out their space. Maybe you'll even get the chance to meet them and say "Howdy!"
By the way, most vendors (not just the new ones) like it when you take a chance to chat when you find them in their booth. I know it may look like they are very busy adding new merchandise and rearranging things, but many of them like to take time out and chat with customers, even if it's just to say "Hello."
Feedback from customers is very important to vendors, but it's something that they don't often get, because they come and go at such different times throughout the week. We cannot tell you how much it can make a vendor's day to hear from somebody that shops in their space on a regular basis. Many vendors are also collectors, so they like to chat with people who share their interests.
If you are looking for something in particular, it never hurts to ask a vendor to keep an eye out for it. For example, let's say that you are into Mission style furniture, but are having a hard time finding a certain piece. Talking with a vendor who also knows about Mission furniture may turn up some new leads for you. It certainly helps a vendor make decisions about things to buy for their booth.
YesterNook is as much about the relationships that people form in the store as the things we sell here. Next time you stop by, take some extra time to chat. We'll all be glad that you did.

Resolutions
Happy 2013 to all our friends and friends-to-be! We hope that everyone has a healthy and prosperous year filled with wonder and opportunity! Don't forget to have your traditional black-eyed pea meal today. While you're doing that (and enjoying the ball games), we'd like to share some thoughts about another New Year's tradition: resolutions.
Every year, with the best of intentions, many of us plan for self-improvement for the new year. Unfortunately, most of us only last a few weeks, despite all those good intentions. At YesterNook, we'd like to help our friends make their goals this year. When you think about it, there are lots of ways that we can become a part of your support system this year, when you make your resolutions. We'd like to offer the following ideas to all of you resolution-makers out-there.
If you resolve to get out more, or watch less TV, or spend less time online, or something similar, consider that it's easier to meet this goal if you have a planned alternative to these activities. After all, you can't get out more, if you don't know where you're going. Why not make YesterNook one of your destinations? Surely browsing through the many treasures we have to offer will beat watching re-runs of CSI.
Likewise, if you resolve to meet new people, come on down to the store and make a new friend! Remember our motto: Enter as strangers. Leave as friends. We've seen it happen over and over again. YesterNook regulars are more than just customers to us. Getting to know so many wonderful people is an unforeseen, but very welcome, outcome of opening the store.
If you want to get more involved in the community or you want to give back in 2013 or you want to try to make a difference, why not increase the amount of time and money that you spend in small local businesses? Everyone wins when our locally-based economy is sound.
What if you decide that you need more exercise or you want to get in shape? Well, if you live in the Schnitzelburg/Germantown area, why not make YesterNook a destination for some of your walks? If you don't live nearby, surely you can have as much fun climbing the steps to the second floor as you would on some old stair-climbing machine. How do you think all our second floor vendors got so fit?
Do you think you want to spend more time with friends or family this year? Well, you'll need to make plans to do it and that means having things in mind to do together! Why not make your first outing a trip to YesterNook?
Do you want to start a hobby in 2013? Well, not only do the folks at YesterNook know an awful lot about many different kinds of collectibles, but you can find tons of them in the store. From comic books to records to salt and pepper shakers, if you can collect it, you can probably find it here. If you're more of the project-oriented, DIY type, don't forget that we've got a garage full of great stuff that needs a little elbow grease.
If you want to read more, we've got plenty of books, plus the Tiny Bookshop!
Finally, if you resolve to save money this year, don't forget that we've got some of the best prices in town on furniture, dishes, glassware, and a whole host of other items.
Whatever you want 2013 to be for you, we do hope that we can be a part of it at YesterNook. We're excited about the new year and hope to see you soon! Take care!

This is not Spam!

| It's a bank! |
There's an old saying that whatever you're doing at the end of the year is what you'll be doing throughout the next year. We don't know if it's true or not, but we can't think of a better way to spend the next twelve months than searching for special finds at YesterNook!
Lots of booths are having year-end sales right now, making the already low prices even lower! You can check out the list of vendors with discounts at our Facebook page.
If we don't see you this weekend, please have a happy and safe New Year's Eve! We look forward to seeing all of you throughout the year!

And Now a Message from Saint Nick
YesterNook is closed today, so that everyone can spend the holiday with family and friends. We hope that you are having a wonderful time doing just that as well!
We'll be open regular hours tomorrow (10 a.m. to 6 p.m.), so please stop by if you;re out doing any post-holiday shopping. Lots of vendors are running specials right now. See our Facebook page for details on that. Besides, there's no time like the present to put those YesterNook gift certificates to good use!
Thanks for being such good friends throughout the year. We look forward to moving into 2013 with you all!
Merry Christmas!
Happy Holidays!
Season's Greetings!

Traditions
What are your holiday traditions? Do you have a big Christmas party? Or go to midnight mass? Does your family draw names for gifts?
Maybe you open your gifts on Christmas Eve instead of the
next morning. Or you and your sisters
all get together for a big cookie-baking day.
How many of you spend Christmas Day travelling from house to house with
gifts and food? Or go caroling?
Maybe you’re one of the few who doesn’t have a tradition
or maybe you want to start a new one.
Here are some YesterNook inspired ideas:
Have a Schnitzelburg shopping day. Get together with a group of friends and
spend the morning exploring the awesome Christmas offerings at YesterNook, then
have lunch at one of the nearby restaurants.
Take a cool vintage ornament to your office ornament
exchange party.
Instead of an Ugly Sweater Party, hold a Cool Vintage Winter
Coat Party.
Use vintage plates and tins deliver your holiday cookies
to friends and family.
Use vintage ornaments and holiday tidbits to embellish
wrapped gifts.
Come to the store and go caroling at the various booths.
Build a unique Nativity scene out of lost or discarded
pieces of other Nativities.
Make holiday gift baskets or holly arrangements out of
old enamelware pots.
Get everyone on your gift list a YesterNook gift certificate.
Come to YesterNook and see how many flocked Santas and
knee hugger elves you can find.
Go over to our Facebook page and share some of your
YesterNook holiday tradition ideas! Or share
special traditions that your family has!
One of our favorite traditions here at the store is appreciating all of
our customers during the holidays and all throughout the year. That’s a tradition everyone can take part in!
