Everytime we'd visit Kriss, Blue and Big Mac and I would walk in (ok, anybody who ever saw the procedure knows that "walking" isn't accurate:  we barged through the door at high speed) and the boys would race to the counter where Kriss would hand them treats.  After this little ritual was complete, Blue would begin his windchime concert.  He'd very gently nudge the chimes and listen attentively.  After many visits (and many treats), it was clear there was one particular set of chimes that he favored.  Now we all enjoy them here at home—they remind me of temple bells near a mountain stream.  But I'm pretty sure they remind Blue it's time to go back up to Outside Envy for a treat!

Welcome to our new website. It’s hard to believe that the store is going to celebrate its 4th birthday on August 26th; it’s been an amazing journey developing the store to where we are today and along the way we have made some great friends with our customers, vendors and artists. We are very excited to have a fresh way to bring our unique merchandise to you. The site will be updated often with new gift items just like the store!  In addition we will share information and tips on things that we find interesting covering everything from gardening and “how to” tips as well as color and merchandise trends that we find at market. We hope to often feature guest bloggers who are also our customers and have them share their thoughts with us on gardening, art, the store or whatever is on their mind that you might find entertaining and informative. Thanks for supporting the store and the local economy over the past four years; we really appreciate your business. If you are new to our store, again I say welcome and thanks for the opportunity for us to become your destination for unique gifts in Uptown Westerville!
