Monthly Archives: November 2009

 Good morning everyone!  This year has certainly gone by quickly!  It is difficult to believe that it is time to thaw that turkey and bake those pies! 
 
I have a great deal to be thankful for this Thanksgiving week.  I have a healthy family, great friends and a good life.  My venture into the world of “Occasional Sales” in the Barn has kept me very busy.  My list of things to do to improve the operation next year grows everyday.
And my list of things to be thankful for grows everyday as well. 
 
We had a very successful 50% off sale this past weekend.  Everyone loves a bargain and the bargain hunters were out in full force.  We are pleased to have emptied the barn so that we can begin our quest to have a whole new assortment of goodies for you in the spring.  Let the shopping begin!!   The Barn was buzzing for two days as friends met old friends and made new ones.  We had a great variety of treats to go with the coffee, tea and hot chocolate.  Everyone loved the cookies with a bit of a lemon taste and the cranberry bars and Mexican Wedding Rings and other goodies!  Thanks to Annie, Shirley and Alice for sharing the assortment with our customers.
 
Happy Thanksgiving to each and everyone.  May you be blessed with happiness, love and peace.

50% OFF ON ALL REMAINING INVENTORY!

THAT’S RIGHT, EVERYTHING AT HALF PRICE!   See you at the barn!!

Welcome to our web site!  We are all anxious to begin our Christmas sale.  The barn is absolutely beautiful!  We have more space now than we did for the last sale so you will have more items to view as well as more room to shop.
 
Don’t forget your camera!  We have an authentic sleigh all decorated and ready for your family Christmas picture.  This sleigh has been in our family for about 50 years.  We have had lots of fun over the years as our friends and family have joined us in sleigh rides and hot chocolate afterwards to warm us!  I recall one day in particular many years ago.  Our faithful Hackney ponies went plowing through a snow drift and the snow was heavier and deeper than we had anticipated.  They stopped quickly, we were not prepared………….and all of us went flying off into the snow drifts!   Perhaps we should have installed seat belts after that event!    It was all fun, no one got hurt and it was a wonderful experience.
 
We have a gift wrapping table for you.  We will have everything you need to wrap your gifts when you are finished shopping so be sure and take advantage of that.  
 
And last but not least we will have warm beverages and Christmas treats available.   We are looking forward to relaxing with you in our dinning area furnished with antique/vintage tables and chairs for your dining pleasure.  Our favorite local musicians will provide some Christmas entertainment for us sporadically during the day.  You will love that!  We are looking forward to a fun filled three day sale.  I hope to see you!!

The Christmas decorations are all up and shining brightly at the barn!  We have a tree that is decorated entirely with antique ornaments, we have a fishing tree, a pot holder tree, a Charlie Brown tree and we even have some traditional trees!  You will love the display and it will get you in the spirit for Christmas shopping.  We have garlands and more garlands!  One of my favorite displays is the unique hand made items from Annie.  She has some wonderful ideas and makes some beautiful things!  They will go fast, so come early!  Our Christmas sale starts this Friday, November 6 @ 10:00 AM! 

You will be intrigued by our display of wooden and ceramic Christmas items.  We have Santas and Toy Soldiers and lots and lots of Snow Men.  You will certainly be able to find a few that you just can not resist.
