Marnie Nicholson, co-owner of Company Flowers on N. Pollard Street, points to a row of tiny treasures just made for Christmas stockings. The shelf offerings range from red, yellow and blue bird whistles to wildlife snow globes with a deer, bear or eagle trapped inside the globe to bumpy balls and flashing stars. "And," she says picking up a rainbow twirler, "we always have a big box of these because they sell out fast." She demonstrates the label instruction to "spin to create a dazzling rainbow" as the ball expands, twirls and folds back on itself, entertaining the customers nearby.
