AUTUMN

Well, I returned Sunday from another trip to Madison where I found more treasures to enhance your home, porch and yard. I am slowly getting things out and priced. I found a few more rusty metal pumpkins to poke in strawbales or in the yard.

I saw lots of battery operated candles. They keep improving on them. It is so amazing to walk in a booth with them flickering...I have been running one in the house continually to see how long they last. So far, it is lasting over three weeks on two AA batteries! Just think if you just turn them on once in a while, they will last for months! They are wonderful for the wall sconces...candle light on the walls with no flame to worry about!

I also picked up a couple of quilt shelves (shelves w/ bars) and new potpourri. More wonderful fragrant candles, candle holders, pumpkin pics and signs...I will get photos as I get everything put into place.

In the mean time, I hope you are enjoying the colors, and the weather!

Anniversary #5!!!

Hello everyone! I am glad to be getting back to somewhat normal routine after the wedding (click here for pics) and the next weekend laying Grandma to rest. A little dip in the road, but back on the highway now...Blogging, ordering, unpacking merchandise...Fall is my favorite, and I know it is for most of you! Though the season is already underway, I have many new things out this week.

I opened the shop the same weekend as Amery Fall Festival five years ago. It doesn't seem like five years have passed already. Thank you to everyone who has helped me, encouraged me, and shopped @ Bittersweet Farm. It has been a very rewarding adventure for me. I have learned so much from all of you! In fact at my Grandma's visitation on Monday, I was sharing some "note taking" advice w/ my nephew who is in college that I received from an Iowa customer last weekend!

I need to get things rolling out there, so before I go, I just want to extend the invitation to you to come out this week to help me celebrate! I will be doing drawings daily for a $10.00 Gift Certificate. I will do a drawing on Friday for a $25.00 Gift Certificate, and another one on Saturday!!

I also have some fresh fireside coffee to sample, along with treats, and when it gets hot, I will have cold drinks!

HAPPY WEEKEND!!

PS...You might find me on the windmill cutting bittersweet today...it will be ready by Friday and Saturday!
