Santa must have taken Chief Larry's advice to heart and has turned into a "Good Santa". Here he is all decked out in an adorable apron, his Sweetie pearls, and hair ribbon - ready to greet and help customers who come in the shop. Atta boy Santa!!

Chief Larry received noise complaints from citizens that there was a guy in a red suit up on our roof "shouting at the top of his lungs something about comets and vixens". Here he is just about to cuff Santa, but Linda promised that she'd keep him quiet, and inside the shop, for the rest of the holiday season. 

We recently had our roof repaired and Santa, hearing the noise up on the roof, was reminded of the sound of reindeer hoofs, so he climbed up onto the roof to see if he could spot any of his reindeer. Here he is on the look-out for them... good luck Santa!

Every Friday Music Mike stops into the shop during lunch time to sing and play for customers. This last Friday Santa decided to make it a duet. One word of advice to Santa... don't quit your day job... please!

Santa has definitely recovered from his squeeze down our shop exhaust hood. We are sure he's feeling better because he's gotten his sweet tooth back. Here is hungrily admiring one of our fresh-baked Holiday pies!

Linda recently spoke about being a female entrepreneur at the Country Club of Lansing and shared the vision she had for owning and operating the best little pie shop in Michigan! Pictured is Linda with the Country Clubs Marketing Director, Cathy Lazar. Everyone loved her pie demo and talk, especially the Key Lime Raspberry pie served for dessert!

Once Santa recovered from getting stuck in our exhaust hood, he positioned himself right near the front door to welcome everyone who comes into the shop. Here is is holding a sign, just in case anyone wonders who he is... (Maybe he's not as recovered as we thought he was...)
