New Hours for Saturday December 13th

At the special request of Kim, a long time customer and friend, the shop will be open starting at 9am today. I hope to see lots of friends/customers and help them with all those last minute Christmas gifts. Here is a photo (for your viewing pleasure!) of some of the wreaths I was making the other day.

Counting your Blessings

The first December open house that we held on the 5th and 6th was lots of fun. We made peppermint topped brownies bites and had sparkling cider and hot cocoa to drink. A wide variety of items sold including jewelry, ornaments, signs, soaps and lotion bars and more.
I have however (honestly, a long time ago), given up trying to figure out the buying public. I send out 200+ invitations to our open houses and perhaps 5-10% of our customers come. Thank goodness for the loyal ones!
I was busy yesterday making all sorts of wreaths. I took some up to Lucketts and will keep the others in the shop for our last open house of 2008 - tomorrow and Saturday. The rest of the day was spent running errands - in the cold rain - but I kept thinking how thankful I was that I had the money to buy the groceries, to keep a roof over my head, etc...

This is what this season should be about - counting our blessings!
