Gabbi's Hardware

December 1997


Gabbi's Ace Hardware, Essex Jct., Vt.

On December 20th and 21st of 1997, Tilly-Bear's Mall joined with Gabbi's Ace Hardware in Essex Junction, Vermont, to give last minute Christmas shoppers a chance to find that special gift they hadn't found anywhere else.


Mr. & Mrs. Santa in the Windows

To attract the paying customers, Theodore (left) and Tilly-Bear (right) dressed up as Mr. & Mrs. Santa. Theodore held one of our Tippy Toes finger bears. To the left is a 9 inch Christmas tree decorated with our wooden Christmas decorations - ready for giving.
