点评:The Dover Chamber of Commerce organized the Downtown Holiday Stroll event that was held Sunday, December 1st. One of the participating businesses that I visited was Just The Thing! to see what was new.
First, I had my customary visit with Poppy, the black-and-white Boston terrier ~ one of the unofficial greeters. I played with Poppy for several minutes. Stella, the other Boston terrier was not interested in playing this time; she was more interested in flopping out on the little dog bed behind the counter and just watching the fun.
For the season, the store was filled with lots of holiday decorations.
One curious item was a group of what appeared to be slats from a picket fence that had been decorated as snowmen ~ white with black or plaid scarves and faces at the tops with oversized carrot noses set off to a right angle. They were all wearing black top hats. I thought they were cute and that using picket fence slats that way was a clever idea. It’s interesting to see how artisans find ways to upcycle found objects or use new items in a way very different from what they were manufactured for.
There was a display of small tabletop Christmas trees that appeared to be made from either the petal-like scales of pine cones or maybe folded paper.
In another area, there was a whole wall display of several clocks in all different styles. Some had a retro look; others appeared to be of more contemporary designs.
On a table, I saw a twin-sized quilt at $29.00.
The red guitar was still hanging on a wall in another nook.
Once again, I enjoyed my visit with the staff and Poppy and looking at the new items for sale.
I maintain my rating of 5.0 on Just The Thing! and highly recommend stopping in.

翻译:多佛商会组织了12月1日(星期日)举行的市中心假日漫步活动。我参观了参与活动的商家之一Just The Thing!,想看看有什么新鲜事。
首先,我像往常一样拜访了黑白相间的波士顿梗犬波比(Poppy),它是店里的非正式迎宾犬之一。我和波比玩了几分钟。另一只波士顿梗犬斯特拉(Stella)这次对玩耍不感兴趣;它更感兴趣的是趴在柜台后面的小狗床上,看看大家玩得开心。
正值这个季节,商店里摆满了各种各样的节日装饰品。
一件奇特的物品是一组看起来像是从栅栏上取下来的板条,上面装饰着雪人——白色的,上面围着黑色或格子围巾,顶部是脸,巨大的胡萝卜鼻子呈直角排列。他们都戴着黑色的高顶礼帽。我觉得它们很可爱,而且用栅栏板条做成雪人造型真是个聪明的主意。看到工匠们如何巧妙地将旧物升级改造,或以与原作截然不同的方式利用新物件,真是妙趣横生。
店里摆放着一些小型桌面圣诞树,看起来像是用花瓣状的松果或折叠纸做成的。
在另一个区域,一整面墙摆放着各种风格的钟表。有些钟表造型复古,有些则更具现代感。
在一张桌子上,我看到了一条售价 29 美元的双人被子。
那把红色吉他仍然挂在另一个角落的墙上。
我再次享受了与店员和 Poppy 的互动,并欣赏了店里出售的新品。
我保持着对 Just The Thing! 5.0 的评分,强烈推荐大家来这里看看。
