Happy Spring everyone! With the change in season, I look forward to watching the trees and flowers bloom, reaching for the sun in their “rebirth” so to speak. That is one of the things that has inspired me to happily announce the rebuilding of our Christmas barn!! It has been a humbling experience and a difficult year with personal things in our family, but through strong support from them, my dear friend Richard , that is part of the barn, church friends, customers, people that donated money and time, the Amish community and so many more, we felt honored to start over. Thank you to our local shop owners that have helped in too many ways to say..Danette at Filomena’s Favorites, Lynne and JR at Ellen J. Goods, Lynette at Mercantile Royal just to name a few. I know I have forgotten one or two. We are deeply grateful. We were blessed by God that we did not parish in the fire as our home was 20 feet away from the barns when one fell towards it. Thanks to all the local fire crews that came and neighbors that helped. They extinguished the flames but our love for what we do and create couldn’t be put out. I sit here sewing new creations and look forward to those familiar faces walking through the front door. I’m not the best with words but if you know me, you know my heart. I’m not even letting my daughter proof read this!! It will be different , but we will hold the same joy in our hearts and bring you a homemade Christmas! We will keep you posted! See you in November!
Much love ..
Shawna (Chris, and Richard 🌲 )
