Join us for a Jam Tasting this Weekend

This summer we introduced a new line of hand made jams that we thought our customers would absolutely love.  We had never tried these jams, but had only read about them and became instantly impressed by what they represented - hand made, fresh organic ingredients, seasonal, and unusual but divine flavor combinations.  LemonBird Jams are all hand crafted by Jam Artisan Amy Deaver.  Amy has an amazing ability to think outside the typical jar of grape jam and to experiment with flavor combinations that really bring the seasonal fruits to life.  These jams are not only absolutely delicious on your morning toast, scones, or waffles, but they also pair nicely with cheeses & nuts , make a wonderful glaze for meats or poultry, and are of course, a fabulous host or hostess gift.  We just received our fall jams so we thought it would be a perfect time to host a "Jam Tasting"!

The Barr-Co Collection

I can not tell you how incredibly excited I am about the new Barr-Co Collection that we recently brought in to the shop!  Made in small batches right here in the U.S., this new bath & body line from K. Hall is just simply beautiful.  And, the focus of the Barr-Co Collection is just that - simple ingredients in beautiful vintage apothecary bottles, parfait glassware, muslin bags, and tinware.  The entire collection contains natural ingredients including the main ingredient, colloidal oatmeal (which is specifically amazing for super-dry, itchy skin) and the scent is a soft, easy fragrance of milk (think K.Hall Milk scented soap), oatmeal, vanilla, and vetiver.
