I took a lot (a lot!!!!) of snaps yesterday,
I hope you enjoy this little visit to our Open House:
 |
| hello & welcome!! |
~ the shop before the crowd ~
 |
| (is that blur Mrs. Claus shopping? |
almost ready...
 |
| sweet friend Misi (1890 Gablehouse) was so kind & generous to make and pass along these scented wax tarts for the first 35 customers who visited with us yesterday.... Thank You Misi! |
Doors Open!
Friends from Far & Near came to visit us again ~
some from VERY far away,
...like the North Pole!
 |
| Santa resting a bit from his trip |
We are so blessed to have Santa & Mrs. Claus as best friends...
(a.k.a. Shari & Steve Kritikakos)
we ALL look forward to their visits, including our fur-friends here at the farm ~
 |
| feeding the reindeer? no ~ that's Pinocchio & Daisy! |
 |
| my HANDSOME boy-friends |
 |
| Daisy making raspberries for the camera ~ she sticks her tongue out quite often! |
 |
| she's like a small child in the family photo...you know, where everyone is smiling & posing nicely (and that one little brat has their tongue sticking out! LOL) |
~ even Mrs. Claus gets some lovin'...
 |
| my BEAUTIFUL Friend Shari & Nocchi |
it was a wonderful, magic-filled day.
filled with the sounds & fragrances of christmas to help us usher in
another holiday season with family & friends....
and with humble gratitude to
ALL of our customers for your continued support & friendship...
Joan & Felicia for being always by my side...
Peter & Hannah for loving me.
We Wish You a Very Merry Christmas!!

Gosh...my heart is beating a thousand beats per minute!! Love your shop! Mr. and Mrs. Claus are so sweet! Now you can put your feet up and enjoy the season!
It was wonderful Lori! I treasure the goodies I picked up. I love the pics of Santa and the donkeys, despite Daisy sticking her tongue out!! You should have taken after pics cause I am sure the shelves were pretty empty, they were getting there when I left at noon! Rest up and enjoy the bit of white out there! Xo
Your shop is absolutely beautiful . I have just looked and looked at the pictures.
The shop looks amazing. I just love those pattern racks Peter made for you.....
