Snow!

That's right. We saw snow yesterday. Granted, it was only for about 2 minutes, and it was kind of sparse and wet, but it was still snow. (A customer came into the store and told us that she had just driven through hail, sleet, snow, and rain --all within the Guelph city limits!)

While there is no sign of flurries today, we thought we'd just issue this reminder that Meow! has started to stock up on all sorts of winter accessories like mittens, gloves, hats, toques, scarves, boots, jackets, sweaters, and coats. Neat new stuff arrives every day and we are expecting an extra big batch of new stuff to arrive late Friday night so we can have it on the floor for Saturday.

Stay warm! Be cool. Shop Meow! :)

Happy Halloween!

Happy Halloween from Meow!

Have an unsafe and horrific unholy-day!

Meow! still has some accessories and outfits for Halloween (hats, bags, and a few horns and tails), as well as our regular assortment of Fall clothing and spooky tunes!
