As some of you may have read, in last week’s Victoria Times-Colonist there was a nice piece about Gallowglass Books as part of a promotional insert on businesses in Downtown Duncan. The article was about Jeff and I (Alanah), and how we originally met. (Here’s the link [PDF] if anyone wishes to read it. Our thanks to Erin Morgan for the thoughtful article and to Agnes Caravati for the lovely photo!)

Anyway, one of the wonderful benefits of that article was all the people it brought into the store to congratulate us on our impending parenthood. We were particularly touched by Zoë, Mike and their gorgeous daughter Abigail who, despite only knowing us through a brief visit to the store last summer, came all the way up from Victoria today — Christmas Eve — to drop off a thoughtful gift for our baby. What an amazingly kind thing to do!  We certainly hope they’ll stay in touch!  Our thanks to them and many others for making this Christmas even more special for us.

And on that note, to all our customers and friends in Duncan and beyond, thank you so much for your patronage. We’re ever grateful and humbled that you continue to support our shop, and wish nothing but the best for all of you this holiday season and throughout 2010.

Merry Christmas!
