Holiday Season 2009

Last week was a blur! After a weekend closure to redecorate, we opened on Monday for our 12th annual holiday open house and had a wonderful turnout. The rest of the week continued nicely with many customers stopping in to see what is new, to visit, and to enjoy a cup of tea with a cookie or two.

It took us two full days to redecorate and place our special holiday offerings into displays! For some reason it was more challenging this time. I’m not quite sure why, but perhaps because of a number of new lines we are featuring this season. The shop is absolutely packed full!

We have new linens and aprons, nearly 100 teapots (yes!), books, ornaments and candles. We even found a soy candle in a little travel tin that smells just like our Candy Cane Lane tea! It smells yummy!

Our corner hutch is full of holiday treats including fancy sugars, cookies and biscuits, preserves and sweet confections. Many of these goodies will be added to our webshop in the coming days. If you happen to find yourself in our neighborhood, stop by to see the whole collection. We’ll have tea and gingersnaps ready to warm you!
