It was pure chance that Jeremy Pitella and Adrian Coose saw our sign a few years ago when they were looking for a place to sell their incredible red-twig dogwood, birch, and twig wreaths. I bought as many as would hang on the walls, and since then eagerly await their surprise visits. Luckily they stopped by a couple of days ago, and I ended up taking so many wreaths that we had to find some new and creative ways to hang them! I'll post some pictures after T-day, since I can't describe with words what makes their hand-made wreaths so beautiful. There are some wreath connoisseurs around, that's for sure--these wreaths just fly out the door!

Even better than Ned's Truffles

Jean Keller, owner of Perlino Chocolates, is a chocolatier extraordinaire, and if you haven't tried her luscious confections you need to know what you are missing! Today she stopped by the store laden with boxes of her enticing sweets, including her gorgeous "Over the Top Oreos," Cape Cod bark, fabulous caramel & cashew whimsies, and melt-in-your-mouth truffles.

Jean says she may be able to do a truffle tasting next month—maybe I won't publicize it so I can have them all to myself....yum.....

Truffle on Down!

I thought it would be fitting to post this before you're all stuffed along with your birds—Ned's making truffles again! Come by this weekend and we'll have those delicious morsels out. We're pretty good at passing them over little heads, but some kidlings have high-powered chocolate sensors. Of course we're delighted to share with them...
