Vintage Wintering Gathering Preview


























Finally, I got to sit down! I just got 32 loaves of cardamom bread wrapped, and still have 32 pieces of marionberry coffee cake to wrap and some pies to bake, but it's on the downhill side now. Tomorrow morning at 10:00 is the Vintage Gathering, Kristin and Chantel are still up there finishing up, I am doing some last minute stuff here, but almost everything is in place. Sherri (Flowers N Fluff) delivered her wonderful wreaths and centerpieces today and they are getting those in place right now, and getting the kitchen ready to serve pie. It's been an awfully long week, but a lot of fun. Last night as we were finally getting ready to leave, I looked at Kristin and said, "All this work for 2 days???" There is so much stuff in there it's crazy. We did that when we had our little shop "Old Quincy Schoolhouse" down the hill from my home, but that we had open all the time. But this little Vintage Winter Gathering has put me into the holiday mood! Enjoy!!

WOW! Everything looks great! I wish I were close enough to attend!
I had a yarn winder just like the one in the first pic, but I sold it a couple of years ago.
So many wonderful treasures! I wish y'all the very best with your show!

Oh yes! It's time to make cardamom bread! Thanks for the idea. I was wondering what I was going to give as gifts to my children's extension teachers and the administrators.

Hugs, Karen, hope all goes well!
