Two weeks ago I went to a wholesale show and found some great prims. Little prim bundts wrapped in stained cheesecloth. Some other little prim bundts tea light holders. The same girl that makes these makes great grubby prim can soy candles in a ton of fragrances.
I also have someone who makes great prim dolls. We have a few raggedy ann and andy's, snowmen and santas. Stop in and see them for yourself.
I have all 4 Judy Conlon books for decorating ideas for your country home. She writes a great book filled with so many repurposing ideas. These books make great gift for anyone with a country home.

Fall Clearance
This weekend is our Fall Clearance Sale. Thurs 10-5, Fri 10-5, Sat 10-4, & Sun 10-3. Stop in early for the best choices. I will work each night to try and straighten out the store and will add additional clearance as I find them.
We are putting out some Christmas. Everyday we are putting out new Christmas. We have lots of Blossom bucket, santas and snowman. I just came back this morning from another wholesale show and a trip to the wholesalers.
Yesterday I found exactly what I was looking for, tons of wooden snowmen! I really felt I had a gap in what I wanted for the store for our open house. I now have great wooden snowmen. Some are 3 or 4 feet high. I didn't buy a ton of them since I didn't have my trailer but I will get one more trailer trip in before I have the Christmas Open House. So if I am lucky enough to find them again I will get a few more.
I also found some smaller wooden snowmen which I will put on twig wreaths. Right now I am working on lots of buckets of berries with lights in them and cure little trees in tubs and metal cups with tiny white lights on them. I will have them at the shop and at the Coleman craft show.
I am also working on my gift bags for the open house. I still need a couple of goodies forit.
If you want a sneak peak at Christmas stop in over the next few weeks. But the shop will not be completely Christmas for the Open House on Friday Nov 14, Sat Nov 15, Nov 16.
Stop in at the country shop on Fairview.

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!

August plans
Well, I'm back to being open on Sundays from 10-3. I have been working everyday to add to the Fall inventory. I have been putting things aside to bring out for our Fall Open House next Fri, Sat & Sun. The postcards are in the mail and I hope you plan on coming to the shop.
We are putting the finishing touches on our gift bags. I finally got the last order in the mail today and will finish up the bags tomorrow.
I have lots of wooden pumpkins in a variety of sizes. I have made several different wreaths and lots more Fall.
We plan on putting out several samples of our gourmet food items for the open house. This weekend I made up the chocolate mousse, and 2 dips mixes.
I am receiving lots of Christmas orders as well. It's been a little crazy keeping everything organized(or at least making my best effort to be somewhat organized).
We also have lots of new handmades that I picked up on my last wholesale trip last week. Keep checking the blog for a Sept event(our 1st anniversary).

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.
