We have some news and new items to report-

First and foremost: You may not recognize our building on your next visit after its dramatic (and much needed) face lift.

After a year of delays the facade of the Historic Fravel House (where we are located) was repainted and within the next few weeks will have brand new awnings.

And with the Art Sale over  we’ve done a bit of rearranging-Some locally made gifts for gourmands-

I completely rearranged the jewelry display-

I think the hand-knitted goods look a little more put together now-

We have a few new additions to report like Sparkling Apple Wine from Widow’s Watch Cidery of Edinburg, VA. This is considered a wine not a cider- it tastes like a nice, dry champagne- which makes sense as it is produced a la methode champenoise. It does not taste apple-ey. We are tentatively planning on have an official tasting this July.

Also new: “Our Mountains- The View from Shenandoah County”. This guide from the folks at the Mountain Courier is full of helpful information about our regions geology. It also has full color illustrations and topographical maps.

We have Face Masks by Dawn 2.0- this batch of cloth masks are larger (they fit my face unlike the previous masks) and come in a variety of different fabrics- like the cat and dog patterned ones pictured below:

And with some wall space cleared out I had some room to display a couple new hand made (by moi) mirrors in hand made (also by moi) picture frames- like this gold and black number with an eggshell veneer which measures 11 3/4″ x 13 1/2″ on the outside of the frame- just $50 (!). That’s real 24 kt gold leaf on the corner ornaments to.
