Time to start
Robin is in the process of putting together her ideas on products she will choose to take to a new shop in Fort Edward. It will be our first time in a consignment store. The owners are cleaning house in January and plan on having new artisans and new products in by February. There are about 50 artisans now and I would imagine the list will keep growing. This idea seems to be catching on in other small towns. After the turnout for the Christmas in the Country show and the comments that we heard from the people, it looks like people want that personal touch. They appreciate the work and thought that goes into these items. And doesn't it make it special to know the person who made it. Every time you use or look at that item, you think of the artisan, because there is a little of them in every one.

Potatoes
Tonight's dinner finished off our "home grown" potatoes. This was our first try with potatoes and Robin and I both said we need more next year. I think, anything you put some work into, you enjoy more. But I'll tell you those taters were goooood! Anyway, it's winter, and the garden is not far from our minds. Anybody have a seed catalog handy? :)

Winter Time

Missed another one
Well it looks like we've missed another storm, so far. I haven't checked the radar, but looking out the window, we have a fine snow coming down. I can't see the mountains and it's a grey day. A good day for a family game by the pellet stove. It's hard in today's life to get everyone in the same room, with so many options for all of us, but the stove's warmth seems to draw us together. Didn't think of that when we bought it but it has been an unconscious choice on everyone's part. Dogs included of course! Robin is rounding up players for a game of Parcheesi.
Enjoy your Sunday.
