Two More Rooms

Here is a shot of the entrance to Moonshine Essentials - my daughter's shop and two photos of the tiny but awesome kid's room.

Other Goodies

Here are some of the scarves that my Mom made for St. Mary's Church Bazaar. I am selling what they had left over and the proceeds will go to St. Mary's.

Also included are some more goodies from the shop.

Jewelry Boards

Here is some of the jewelry we have to offer. If you double click on the image it will get larger so you can see individual pieces.

Handmade Holiday Open House

Wow! We were busy from the time we opened at 12 noon. I packaged up all kinds of goodies in gift bags tied with pretty bows for Christmas giving. Here are a couple of photos showing some of the treasures we have to offer.

Wow - featured in a blog - sneak attack!

Thanks to PinkPolish Design! Back in September - the 7th - I was featured along with a host of etsy artists in her blog - pointing out "amazing jewelry artists". I was googling the shop today to see if the Handmade Holiday Open House turned up on craigslist (not yet...) and there was Bittersweet Design Studio featured by PinkPolish - wow.

Directions to Bittersweet on Berry Bramble Lane

Hi everyone! Here are the directions to the shop.

Paeonian Springs is a lovely little village just west of Leesburg, VA. Our little town sits between Route 7 West and Route 9 West.

As a starting point I am going to use Leesburg - but the directions are the same if you come from the west.

From Route 7 you will exit on to Route 9 West. You will go approximately 1/2 mile. On your right you will pass a Shell Gas Station - take the next immediate left on to Simpson Circle (Rt. 662). My house is the first house on the right - the shop is just up the gravel lane from our house. Please park along Simpson Circle - we have other neighbors off of our little road - Berry Bramble Lane.

Looking forward to seeing you!

Handmade Holiday Open House

This coming weekend - November 21 and 22 Friday from 12 noon to 5 pm and Saturday 10 am to 5 pm.

Please come to our Handmade Holiday Open House.

I have been on 'creative fire' lately and have made all sorts of new goodies for your gifting pleasure, as well as finding all kinds of cool vintage stuff for you to enjoy.

The ladies at the bazaar sold all but 3 of the felted purses - I will have these available. Of course we will also have Amy and Kathy's candles (Herbal Star)- the best ever!, some of the fantastic soaps from Julie and Dick (The Parsonage), Lisa's handmade cards and other creative and unique offerings.

Virginia's shop, Moonshine Essentials is filled with all sorts of cool clothes and accessories, and we've got even more jewelry, cards, scarves, and flip flops (some of that 'creative fire' I was talking about).

As usual, we will have refreshments - not sure what goodies I am going to make yet - but they will be yummy!

Also, always know that we are happy to accommodate special requests regarding our hours!
