Fall is right around the corner

Well her is comes!  Fall it seems crazy to think of fall shopping after going through that heat wave but it is right around the corner.  Don't forget to stock up your kiddies on Minnetonka Moccasins and Peace Moccasins for the school year.   As a school teacher, I watch more and more kids choose moccasins as their daily footwear.  I recommend a durable fringe boot for the girls and a boat mocc or slippers for the boys.

That was then, this is now.

We recently had an order for some Indian Headdresses for a birthday party out in New York City.  The buyer wanted these headdresses by 8:00 a.m. the next morning which got me thinking about how many Indian Headdresses have come and gone through our doors. 
The picture on the left was taken of our son Cody when he was in 3rd grade.  Now he is 6'4", a senior in High School, heading off to University of Wisconsin Madison on a Naval ROTC.  What a difference a few years make. 

I remember 10 years ago how my wife thought it was crazy to put a $10 item on the internet.  After all who would want to pay more for the shipping then the actual item.  All I can say is that you would be surprised.  Our headresses made by the Cherokee Indians are not easy to find out there in the real world so people turn to Arrow Gift Shop to find those costume items they are looking for.  We have been selling headdresses, coonskin caps, toy bows and arrows, and much more for a long time and everytime we sell one it makes me smile!

Whew! Its been busy.

Whoa slow down.  It has been crazy busy lately.  As a school teacher, I've been trying to keep up with Governor Walker's "Shoot from the hip" Bills, and I'm nervous.  As a track coach I've been trying to get our athletes ready for the season.  As a business man, I've been slacking off!  We have a lot of product coming in to our store right now.  You are already aware of the New Minnetonka Sandals that came in a month ago.  We also got our "Ton of Guns" in from Parris Manufacturing.  I say "Ton of Guns" because we usually get in about 2000 lbs of wooden toy guns in this time of the year.  Well, they are here and they are still popular.  If you are looking for a particular style of wooden gun, now is the time to get one while our supplies last.  We also got in a a new line of Snoozie Slippers.  We don't have them on the web yet, but we are working on it.  We have had a lot of our other products come in and the store is looking full again.  Our Toy room is fully stocked.

Go Packers Go

We love the Greenbay Packers and have for years.  This has been an amazing season for our team and we just want to say good luck to our Green and Gold this Sunday.  What an incredible serious of events that have brought our team to the Superbowl.

  I would also like to point out that Kate has been working really hard to get our Brand New Minnetonka Moccasin Sandals on the website for our loyal customers.  You can check out our Minnetonka Sandals at:http://www.arrowgiftshop.com/Sandals.html.  We have only had the Minnetonka Sandals up a couple of days and we have already had a bunch of sales.  Once they are gone they are gone.  We can't reorder until next year.  Check out our new styles and reserve your Minnetonka Moccasin Sandals today. 

Minnetonka Sandal Sale

Minnetonka Sandals

Well we have too many sandals left from last year and we want them out the door to make room for our New Minnetonka Sandals.  We have slashed the prices on our remaining sandals but that is not all.  For a limited time get $5.00 flat rate ground shipping on all of our clearance sandals.   This shipping deal only applies to our Clearance Sandals and for a limited time only so buy them now!  Just think, you still get the great Minnetonka Style, but you pay a fraction of the cost that others pay.  If you loved the moccs you bought last year, now is the time to stockup and get a new pair of that style you loved.

Ice Castle is Finished

Well the Eagle River Ice Castle is finished.  You can see a video of it here:  http://www.keyc.com/node/46030
This is probably one of the greatest projects that Eagle River does each and every winter.  The fire department has to wait until the ice is the right thickness on Silver Lake before they can get the 2500 ice blocks used for making the castle.  They finished the castle in time for Friday Night Thunder at the Eagle River Championship snowmobile derby.  Hopefully lots of people stop to visit the Ice Castle and then visit the Arrow Gift Shop for some Minnetonka Moccasins and Peace Moccasins.  What would be really neat is if some of the snowmobile ladies stopped in to look at our Mariana Jewelry

Shack is out but no fish

That anticipated time of the year is hear when I can finally hang up my bow and get serious about ice fishing. We got the shack out last weekend, and we have drilled a lot of holes, but the walleye action is pretty darn slow.&nbsp; I don't know what to make of it yet.&nbsp; Maybe they just aren't hungry or maybe the weather isn't right yet.&nbsp; I do know that I'm still enjoying our shack up here is Eagle River, Wisconsin and I think my kids are loving it too.&nbsp;<img src="http://theblogbooster.com/pixel.gif" width="0" height="0" style="border-top-style: none; border-right-style: none; border-bottom-style: none; border-left-style: none; border-width: initial; border-color: initial; " alt="" />
