For some reason it’s hard to believe that the snow has waited this long to fall. But for some reason it still shocks me that it’s snowing. Didn’t winter just end? But it is pretty and it’s sticky which means it’s great fun for the kids to play in. Really I do like snow.
I had a few more pictures from the shop and thought I would post some of them. I feel really excited to see what’s happening over there because I know Lisa and Cindy have been working like crazy to get the place all nice and ready before Nov. 1st. That’s when Lisa wants to start making wreaths and centerpieces. So I’m sure the shop has changed a lot since the last time I was in there.
Here’s a picture of one of our birch bark displays. It’s in the window in the front of the shop, so it gets seen a lot. The tallest deer I think was about…maybe 2 feet from hoof to antler tip. Personally I’m a fan of moose, but then I’ve always like the animals.
This is one of the several designs of christmas pyramids that have been acquired this year. Lowell told they were shipped and made in Sweden! I had one of these growing up so my heart melted when I saw it. One of my favorite things to do at christmas time was to help my mom set our up and then watch it while it spun and the candles flickered. Ah! Good memories!
And the last picture for today;
It’s a wooden bee! When I came in to visit the shop I saw this and immediately pulled it down so my 1 year old could watch it move across the floor. The wings spin and it’s make in the US (in Arkansas actually). I love this little toy! I’m really into simple toys.
As I said before I can hardly it to see what has been happening in the shop since the last time I was in there. I know a lot more has arrived to display and Lisa & Cindy have been hard at work making it beautiful. So when you come in this year be sure to thank them for it.;)
