Having fun on the Tour?

The Lancaster County's Best Kept secrets Tour kicked off on Friday, April 13. and....WOW! what a response! Everyone on the tour kept my Mother and me hopping all day Friday and most of Saturday! Everyone is having so much fun finding businesses they never knew were around!

Keep you posted as new things happen!

New Spring Things!

St. Patty's Day is coming and we have some nice gifts or just a lil something to set on your desk in honor of that day!

Lots of beautiful, new linens for your tables and dressers. The new designs are just gorgeous!

I found these wonderfully handmade wooden wall plaques at a recent show.

I just had to get them for you. There's a few different designs. Flowers, Hummingbirds and Deer plaques. It is amazing how there are so many different types of woods used in creating these. and...they are not made in China...they are made in Vietnam. I met the young gentlemen that have this business.

News concerning the artist GPOR.... I have many of her cards, prints and paintings in the shop. I received notice that she, again, is exibited on the website for the group "Coldplay." http://www.coldplay.com/exhibitionroom.php Browse through to find her work. Her last painting exhibited was on the 16th of this month. It's a beautiful sunset.

4th of July vacation at the Barn

Summer has hit me fast. I can't believe it's almost July.

Every year I close the shop over the week of the 4th. This year we'll be closed July 2 - 11. We'll reopen on the 12th with some change in hours. I'll be opening at 10am instead of 9am through the summer and fall.

My plans include a bike ride through the Blue Ridge Parkway on Bill's Harley. Work at my house also needs to be done. Decks cleaned and treated. Landscaping cleaned up. I need to tend to the vegetable garden before the weeds think they are my crop.

The Christmas tree fields also need tending to. Mowing, killing unruly vines and poison and shearing of trees.

At some point I'll be making a trip to the shore and attempt some fishing.

Ok, so it's not enough time off to do all that. I'll do the best I can. The main thing for me is that I will get some time away from the barn. That will allow me to have a new and refreshed look at things when I reopen on the 12th.

Plus....Zoe needs a break from all the schmoozing she does will all the customers!
