Are you dreaming of a White Christmas?

 ...Just like the ones you used to know...


Miriam of Minimade (on Facebook and on Etsy) has brought these delightful ornaments into the shop.

 Each one is crocheted by hand... 
And just like snowflakes, each one is unique.
And although they are delightfully traditional...
...they would add a touch of winter charm even to modern decor.
And at only $3.00 per ornament, you could build a whole collection.
  Pop on in to see the selection.
And have that White Christmas of your dreams.

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas!

Julie has been very hard at work getting the shop ready in time for the "Christmas in the Country" open house this Friday and Saturday...
30% off several artists' work! 

The flower shop downstairs is also offering 30% off .

Make a day of it and grab a "slice" and dessert from the bakery downstairs while you are at it...
Here are a few of the pictures she has taken around the shop:


 I'm told Sandi has a surprise in store for the open house.






I can't promise that everything you see here is included in the 30% off, but many, many items will be.  
They will be clearly marked for sure.  

Hope to see you there!

Winter Whites

In today's age of mass marketing, it's easy to get overwhelmed or over stimulated with all the bright, over the top Christmas decor.  Why not take it easy this year and go for a more relaxing, natural look that can last all winter long?
 Julie, of Rustic Revivals (she's also on Etsy, over here) has this lovely birch branch candle holder in the shop that would be lovely on a fireplace mantle, on a sideboard, on a dresser, or as a centerpiece.  With space for four candles, it can also work for advent.  Oh my, the possibilities!
And with the removal of just those couple little "Christmas bits", it can add that warm 
cozy feeling to your home all winter long.

Hop on in to see the other simple, natural items the vendors have in store for you.
