Lots of NEW Items Arriving!! (along with the crickets)

Our ‘Too Hot To Handle Sale’ was fun and everyone enjoyed the sale prices…still some great buys—come see!

If, indeed, crickets are the precursor to cooler weather, then Wonderful Things will be the coolest place in town! Unbelievable numbers of these critters came wave after wave!  Marvin found a powerful weapon (spray) at Gore’s and it rendered them ‘dead’, so after 3 days of sweeping them up (& the birds having an easy meal or two) we are hopeful that cooler weather is approaching!!


Several of you have been awaiting the arrival of the car vent air fresheners—yay at last— they are here.  

We have 5 different fragrances so I hope one will be perfect for you.









We’ve also got new ‘Armor Wallets’ & credit card sleeves 

(protect your credit cards from the bad guys who have the technology to steal your credit card information).







Credit card sleeves come in a pack of 4 different colors!
Great for men or women and slim enough to fit in most wallets!




When you're going through life's valleys  and you think there's no way out,  you're not the first to feel this way.  There's hope, without a doubt.






Cranberry Orange Dip Mix sounded so good that I decided we needed to give it a try—enjoy it as a dip, cheeseball or a very moist cake. (Recipes on the package).







For the kids 12+, we have the cutest “Doggie Pen” which comes with stickers to create a one-of-a-kind doggie!






Love the people God gave you because one day he will want them back.

Check out our new ‘look’ on the web.

Colorful & entertaining!!

Crockin' Signing, NEW Bed & Bath Items, and a Tasty Recipe!

If you missed the Crockin' Girls autograph session last week, you definitely missed a great time!

From the laughter & chatter, it was evident that friends & family alike enjoyed visiting & talking recipes. 

There will be smiley faces at Christmas when some lucky folks open their package containing a copy of Our Crockin' Life. 

Not to worry-you'll still be able to purchase the 'hot off the press' edition from us!! (And we continue to stock their first book.)






You could make a fortune if you could figure out the exact moment 
a piece of junk becomes an antique.




Better get in and check out some of the new bed/bath products just on the shelf..not only are they a treasure of fragrance, it won't empty a treasure chest to make a purchase...so reasonably priced. Soap bars, liquid soap, lotions, etc.




Have you mastered the art of balance in fashion? Consider that a bracelet offers balance when you wear a watch.

Corky's Are IN!



After quite a wait, we have  gotten in more of the multi-color Joanns  from Corky’s shoes.  They are bright, cheerful (& I might mention—comfy ) so they will add some pop to your shoe wardrobe.



Wherever you are, no matter what the weather, always bring your own sunshine.







The large script wooden letters have been  such a hit in both rustic red & ivory that we are now stocking the 8” version in ivory. You’ll find them to be a fun way to add a little whimsy to your décor (also great for wreaths).  Dare I mention Christmas gifts??




TIP:  Surprise your folks with a different twist of flavor on their meat…I love to grab a packet
of savory dip mix and sprinkle It on hamburger,  steak, porkchops, etc. It’s fun to ‘cook outside the box’!  Keep ‘em guessing!!




New product!  A gift package of Lily Pad lids that contains an 11’, 9’, 8’ & 2 of the 4’ size for only $33.95. These lids continue to sell daily because they are so useful & unique—
they will seal anything that has a smooth surface & are stove-top, microwave & dishwasher safe.



TIP:  When freezing ground beef, flatten it out  in a Ziploc bag for faster thawing.



We now have a non-scratch scrubbing pad from e-cloth!  Use for hardened messes & stubborn grime. (only requires water).



There comes a time in life when you have to let go of all the pointless drama & the people who create it & surround yourself with people who make you laugh so hard that you forget the bad & focus solely on the good. After all, life is too short to be anything but happy.
