Tragedy or Travesty?

November 12, 2012 by Auntie Kate of Too Good to be Threw

Is she holding the anchovies?November 12 is

National Pizza With Everything (Except Anchovies) Day

according to Punchbowl.com, which has a treasure trove of “National Day” celebration ideas.

Now, a pizza without anchovies is a travesty, not a tragedy in truth. I will eat pizza and gladly without anchovies. But when no one’s looking, I order it with. Anchovies. Little salty fish fillets. Call me weird. Just don’t call me late for pizza.

Serving pieces are popular at thrift, consignment, and resale shopsThanks to a consignment shop that led me to this site. The shop uses these “holidays” on their Facebook page… I was hoping for some merchandise connection, like if it’s National Pumpkin day, an outfit that’s pumpkin-colored or a decorative pie plate… wouldn’t that be a fun way to have some inspiration for your blog* or your fleeting Facebook status updates?

Bookmark Punchbowl, and start writing simple little blog* entries. Or put it on your Facebook. Or on a chalkboard in your shop’s entry. Or on name badges, so your staff has something to chat with shoppers about.

Just try to connect the chat to your merchandise!

* What, Me Blog?  Yes, you can, and should, blog for your resale, thrift, or consignment shop.
