Summer brings great new products to the Home of the Perfect Christmas Tree Store

It's summer time at the Home of the Perfect Christmas Tree and things are hopping! We have some great new product makers who have joined the project and brought their wonderful products into the Store. Sales continue on the logo apparel and some of the handmade handbags, so you will want to be sure and check those out! Remember you can shop anytime at http://www.homeoftheperfectchristmastree.org/!

Laura Bush's new book Spoken From the Heart is on stands now and in it she writes about the Home of the Perfect Christmas Tree project. She recounts selecting the project to be a part of the White House Christmas in 2006 and why she felt the project was important. The Home of the Perfect Christmas Tree Store will be selling signed copies of Mrs. Bush's book soon. Only a few signed copies will be available so don't miss the opportunity!

We look forward to seeing you at the Home of the Perfect Christmas Tree Store soon, and will be sharing some very exciting news about the project very soon! Stay tuned.
