Fall is here!

I hope you have some time to get out and enjoy the beautiful fall weather. The shop still has some great Fall decor. We have lots of resin and wood pumpkins. Stop in and take a look. This week I purchased some very pretty bittersweet and twig wreaths that would add a great country look to your home.

I have been busy shopping for new inventory for the store. On Monday and Tuesday I went on a shopping trip and bought lots of wonderful Christmas things. I found some wood candycanes, christmas trees and 2 sizes of cardinals that are mounted on rods to put in the ground or to put in a container with fresh greens to make your entryway look very inviting for the holidays.

We have been pricing boxes of ornaments, santas and snowmen, which make a good gift idea for all the "thank you" gifts we need at holiday time. What about giving the newlyweds in your family, a nice little box of ornaments for their first tree. We also have lots of pretty linens with snowmen, wreaths and crows on them.

Let's see what else did I find, very cute snowmen with a light, oh and very nice gameboards. They are a little smaller than the other ones that I had. They are made by the same person. I also found 2 hand painted mirrors, they are $20.

We have all 4 of the Judy Conlon books. They are filled with incredible ideas for repurposing things you may have around your home already.

2009 Calendars have arrived!

I have also been working on berry wreaths, and baskets. I realized last weekend that the walls were looking a little bare, so on Sat I made up 10 new wreaths. We have a good selection again.

About three weeks ago my DH and I came home with a load of furniture. With the cost of diesel, when we go now, we are sure to bring back a full load. We brought back a burgundy triple and a black triple cabinet, a single black pie safe, 2 2-door black cabinets and several other pieces. We have since sold lots of the new pieces and I have another order placed with the furniture maker and we hope to pick that up in the next couple of weeks. When I stopped by last Mon they showed me a couple of new pieces, a 4 door cabinet, which I ordered in black , and the hutch tops they are now making for the 3 and 4 door cabintes. I ordered one set of the 3 door and the hutch top and a plain 3 door, both in black. The hutch set will be for display and we will be taking orders on that set.

We have lots of plans for the holiday season. We will have gift boxes for Thanksgiving and Christmas. We will have salsas, dip mixes and other gourmet items to choose from. They will make a great hostess gift for your family and friends, so that you can say thanks for inviting us, without breaking your budget.

Our Christmas open house will be November 14th, 15th, & 16th. I will be at the Coleman HS craft show in Kingston on Nov 8th and 9th. I will also have a booth at the Country Folk Art Show in Troy at HVCC on November 21st, 22nd, & 23rd. November will be a crazy month for us at the shop.

I promise to have lots of help this Hiliday Season so you won' t have to wait in line to pay for all your gifts.

Stop by your local farm stand and get some apples and a bake a homemade apple pie!
