Aunt Sadie's Candles!

Candy Cane

The clean sweetness of an adult candy cane: not too sugary; not too mentholated. Just right. And a new fragrance for Aunt Sadie’s this year!

White Glittered Pixie on Green Candle.

How adorably cute are these Christmas Pixies?! And we’ve even helped fancy them up a bit with REAL WHITE GLITTER on the fur hood and coat trim. Be sure to get one of the White Glittered Pixies on Red Background as well! 

 

 

Our First Snow!!!

It's Snowing In Hillsdale!


How Exciting! Our first Snow!


Winter is Definitely Here!

The Decorations in the Store look amazing! It is so great to see our Friends coming in from the snow to buy their decorations and Holiday Cards.


We've just gotten in a shipment of Poinsettias. They are the "Rose" variety. They are especially beautiful and come in Red, White and Strawberries and Cream.
All of them are in a lovely mossy clay pot.


We also have Paperwhites and Amaryllis!



For those of you who may not know, Sunday the 6th of December is the Official Tree Lighting in the Village Square! 5 pm sharp! So come join in the Festivities and stop in and say "Hello" while you're at it! We'd love to see you.


Happy Holidays from Ken and Kevin!

Holiday Cards!

There are so many Holiday Cards out there!
How do you choose?
Recycled? Christmas? Holiday? Blank? Glitter? Funny? Christian? Hannukah? New Years? Help!!

Believe me, it was difficult for us as well!

Here are some of our favorites!

Let's start with PaPaYa!

"Christmas Child"

This card is beautiful! The colors are brilliant!

In 2003 PAPAYA! was founded by Gina & Anahata Katkin. A mother/daughter team armed with a vision of Creative Abandon and a heap of determination. PAPAYA! started with just 20 blank greeting card designs in a southern California dining room. Many of the designs originated from Anahata’s handmade art journals and were adapted for print. Knowing they wanted to share a visual perspective of global culture, brave imagery, and powerful color, PAPAYA! was born. Today, PAPAYA! is celebrated all over the world by retailers and fans alike. PAPAYA! is now a thriving manufacturer enjoying a constant stream of new ideas, inspirations, materials, and added artists.

"Great Life"

"Butterfly Greetings"

"Merry Christmas Jesus"

"Don't Worry"

"Snuggle Bunny"


We also Love this Compendium Product..."Positively Green".

The ornament of a house...

The sentiments are amazing!

We often stand at the rack and read them when no one is looking.

The next Company we fell in Love with was Punch Studios. Their cards made from Kraft Paper with Foil Printing are wonderful!!!

Green Holiday Tree

Blue and white foil Ornaments

They also have dimensional greeting cards. They are Lovely! They are layered and glittered and beautiful!

Flora and Fauna

Of Course, we saved our favorite for last! Ken's Kards!

"Snow Day in Central Park"

Ken's Kards are individually printed by hand using archival inks. They are printed on a watercolor paper, bleeding off of a hand-torn deckled edge. Ken's Original Photographs help make these notecards unique.

The Photos on these cards were taken in our back yard or on our walks or in our travels.
Always at the ready when something beautiful caught our eye!

"Angel Statue"

"Trio"

We think we have chosen well. We would love to hear what you think!

Our Favorite is the Pumpkin Tart!

If you are Hungry for Lunch you can stop by the Mt.Washington House (We love the Beer Battered Onion Rings...the Best!!) or the Hillsdale House next door (We love the Pizza)!

We are so excited to share this Holiday Season with our Friends!

It has been such a Pleasure being in the Village Square of Hillsdale. Everyone has been so supportive and kind to us.
We couldn't feel more Welcome as the Holiday nears.


Here are a few photos of the Shop and the Products we carry.

You must stop in and say hello and see everything in person.
You will be glad you did!
