Shopping Trip

I went shopping Monday and Tuesday for the store. I had good luck finding lots of new for the shop. I was able to get new handmades, which I always like to find handmades. I found lots of pumpkins(both fabric and wood), in lots of sizes. I found garden stakes in sheep, pumpkins and bee hives, fabric stars, pears and sheep and I bought some great dried flower twig wreaths. I know, I can make those myself but I am finding I have less and less time as we get closer to the Fall season. I will be working on lots of other wreaths. The trip was busy as usually and I managed to stuff my SUV full again. I hope you will like the new things I just purchased.

The shop was very busy last weekend so I wanted too make sure the shop is worth the trip so I was there until late lastnight pricing as much of the new as I could get done.

We are working on getting everything together for the Fall Open House on Aug 15th, 16th and 17th. This weekend we will be bagging our cinnamon and pumpkin spice putka pods and bagging more of our orange clove potpourri. One other big project we will be working on is getting our gift bags together for the Open House.

Hopefully you will be in the Hudson NY area and have time to stop by the shop at 263 Fairview Ave, our hours for August are F 10-6, S 10-4 and S 10-3.

July at Orange Clove Primitives

July has been a very busy month at Orange Clove Primitives. I have lots of plans all coming together. Our Fall Open House is just around the corner. It will be Aug 15th, 16th, & 17th. We will be giving a gift bag with purchase, while supplies last, we will have at least 100 bags and hope they last through the weekend. I have started adding lots of Fall decor items to our shelves, lots of pumpkins, crows and scarecrows. I will start working on my fall baskets, tins and wreaths this weekend.

On Sept 4th, we will start opening on Thursdays-Sundays. So many of you have asked for more days and with working full-time I just couldn't be there more days. But I have found someone who I have known for years and she will be working on Thurdays for me.

I am also working on our 1st Anniversary weekend on Sept 5th, 6th and 7th. I have lots of things planned and will be mailing a postcard to announce our weekend plans. Please stop by and enjoy lots of samples of salsas, dips and lots more on that weekend.

We had planned on doing the Sept Rhinebeck craft show but it has been cancelled. We will be at Coleman HS craft Show in Kingston in Nov. We will also do the November Hudson Valley CC Folk Art Show.

Then our Christmas Open House will be on Nov 14th, 15th & 16th.

I will also do some sort of coupon for Thanksgiving Fri, Sat & Sun.

So you see, even though we are closed on Sundays for July we have lots of plans for the next fews months. I even went away last weekend fri-sun(thanks to my friends for watching the store). I went to Lake Champlain with my niece and her dog and my husband and our 2 dogs. The weather was perfect Fri & Sat. Great swimming and fishing, we really did have fun.

I'm looking forward to seeing you at the shop this weekend. Orange Clove Primitives 263 Fairview Ave, Hudson NY F 10-6, Sat 10-4 518-828-2028.
