A big blast - lots of items

A quick note this week, focused on a few important messages we want to share...

The Home & Garden Show down at the David L. Lawrence Convention Center is starting today, Friday, March 5th.  Construction Junction is there as always with our ever so fabulous booth.  Be sure to pay us a visit if you make a trip to the Home Show.  We'll have chairs where you can sit and rest for a moment.  Maybe even coffee!  That is of course, if the staff doesn't drink it all.

It's March... a very exciting month for a number of reasons!  First off, March precludes April and soon shopping at CJ won't require ten layers of clothing.  Second, March brings the first day of spring and the associated unfolding of our Organic Garden Department.  And third, the arrival of March means that all of the items remaining in our store from February are now 10% off.  Be sure to double click on the recent arrival photos to see a larger picture as well as a note as to whether the item's from February.

We have a whole bunch of new items this week which we're very excited about as is little Jamison to the right here who walked through our store practically the whole time on his tippy toes.  So cute! 

We're beginning to wonder if there is a direct correlation between the volume of snow melt and the volume of incoming donations.  Happy shopping and we hope you're enjoying the sunshine Pittsburgh is getting as of late.

I'm going to tip you off to something good...  our staff is bringing in a very large and very good donation.  The next few weeks would be a good time to pay us a few visits.  Get my drift?
