OpenHouse Report

Thanks so much to all of you who stopped by to see us Saturday!  We hope you had as much fun as we did.   One of the big hits was the cinnamon pretzels.  Here's the recipe:

1 lb bag mini pretzel twists, 2/3 cup veg oil, 

1/2 cup sugar, and 2 tsp. cinnamon.  

Combine well & spread in a large roasting pan.  

Bake 300 degrees for 30 min, stirring 1/2 way through.  

Spread on wax paper to cool. 

Another big hit was the Instant Snow.  Every demonstration was met with squeals of delight!   It's a great new, non-toxic, reusable product that looks and feels just like snow.  Just add water, it grows like magic, and you can have newly-fallen snow to sprinkle and drift over your holiday decorations.

 And check out this super-nice review of The Farm at Grace Uncensored.  Grace recently visited The Farm for the first time and she even came back to see us a second time last week!  Thanks so much, Grace--it was great to see you.  Come back anytime! 

Grace and Kynda

If you didn't get out to see us last weekend, stop by soon to say hello.  We're open for the next couple of weeks, with our annual ClosingHouse (deals & steals!) on Dec 18th.  We still have Instant Snow and fresh greens and oh, all sorts of things that can help you finish your shopping and dress up  your home for the holiday!

Merry Merry Christmas from all of us at The Farm

New Pottery

The clearance closet got another make-over and it's now featuring a new line of pottery.   Love those wall vases.  They can sit on a shelf or hang from the wall. 

Children's Corner

Are you looking for something a little different for the kids on your list?  We're featuring several great lines in the children's corner--Laughing Elephant books, plush animals, award-winning Folkmanis puppets . . .

Farm Calendar

We can't believe the 2010 season is coming to a close so soon!   The Farm had a healthy year, plans are underway for next year’s growth, and we are SO very grateful to all of you.  But the success of business pales next to the sweet folks we get to be friends with over time.  You are a delight!

Here is our schedule for December ~ hope we get to see ya at some point.  Have a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!!!

Christmas Openhouse:  Saturday, Dec 4, 10-5   Treats & treasures

“Closinghouse”   Saturday, Dec 18, 10-5   Deals & steals

You're Invited

Christmas Openhouse is this Saturday, Dec 4th, 10-5.  Stop by, we'll have refreshments and all sorts of finds for your holiday shopping!

Candle Care & Handling

 

 

Clove, Cranberry Nut Bread, 

Candied Ginger Apple, Welcome Home. . .

 

We're loving these Wickman candle wick trimmers and dippers that give our candles longer life and  make extinguishing so much cleaner. And don't forget Cheryl & Gail's how to light your candle suggestion!

Jewelry Trees

The Farm gals have decorated a couple of small trees with the jewelry selection just inside the front door.

Most all of us could enjoy a little jewelry tree for the holiday, don't you think?   Maybe one for the dresser or the table in the hall--decked out with   bracelets, necklaces, and earrings from the jewelry box. . .  That sounds like a fun decorating project :)  If you make one, be sure to let us know how it turned out!

It's A Tie

Thanks to everybody who "voted" for their favorite holiday!  Okay, so maybe it wasn't the most official of elections here at The Farm, but it was a really close vote.  And you know we can't favor one holiday over the other, so we're just going to declare it a tie and celebrate both at the same time!

Thanksgiving is two weeks from this Thursday.  Two weeks!   Wanna know how many shopping days til Christmas? Forty six.  But who's counting?   There's still plenty of time, so enjoy this dual-season :)

Election Day at The Farm

We, the gals at The Farm, have elected to exercise our freedom to celebrate more than one season at a time.  Due to popular demand, by the people, we hereby announce that the newcomer, Christmas, will appear in our humble shop, along side the incumbent, Thanksgiving!    

We campaign for your participation beginning Tue, November 2.  Whether you go right or left when you enter the door, you will be dazzled, and no doubt find much within your budget (especially with the cuts we’ve made).  You spoke, and we heard you, and we love you!
