THANKSGIVING IS LOVE GATHERED AROUND A TABLE

A little something new can make everything you already love feel fresh again.

Rob McIntosh has long been associated with the tabletop industry. The new modern approach to tabletop is casual, sometimes too casual. People now spend thousands on a kitchen counter but think that chipped plates are not a problem. Don't forget, you eat two to three times a day. Making the look special and changing it from time to time doesn't have to take much. You don't have to replace everything at once. Sometimes new Pimpernel placemats (or two sets,  one for breakfast with the kids and one for family and friends at dinner) is all it takes to give you a lift.  Some suggestions...

Try a Tabletop Change

Here's to good food, good company and a table that's beautiful, functional and wonderfully easy to live with. Change is part of living.  The McIntosh Motto sounds like an old country music song:  "Things change, and then they change again".  Change is a hoot.  If you'd like to hear "The McIntosh Way" song which tells a story of five(at least) generations of change, then click below.

Rob McIntosh believes in having fun and there is nothing more fun than eating with family and friends. So, this, enjoying meals and the settings of the meals, is going to be a repetitive email in the sense that we notice more and more that what our customers are saying is "Family and Friends are What Matter Most".  We, at Rob McIntosh, also think family and friends matter most.  If you get a chance,drop in and have a cinnamon roll, visit with our staff who think it's fun to hear your stories.  Meet your friends here, we have a big parking lot. This week, two people traveling from Toronto to Montreal airport to return to Germany wanted to visit with two friends, from Ottawa, that they hadn't seen since high school. They just had a wonderful visit making us feel very welcoming.  We are a meeting place with great coffee and sweets.  Give yourself some extra time (as the two Ottawa ladies did) to find something really special and do some serious shopping.  I personally love to shop.  Lots of new stuff happening.  But for now, be really thankful that we live in a free, democratic country with infinite possibilities for growing.  If you have had time to come and you like what you saw, please give us a review.   And definitely share.
