Yes, it is hard to believe, but it is THAT time again! At this time of the year, we all look back on the past months. How many of us say "just seems like yesterday"!
Well, in April of 2013, we had no idea yet, how much work would be laying ahead of us.
In May, we decided to move our business, to a location right next to the highway. On July 1, that big adventure started and has not yet stopped.
We have shown you pictures of Before and After. What a difference indeed! A few previous owners have come to see, how after so many "car repair" places, this could turn out to become a Garden center.
And then at the beginning of December, we opened with our first Artisan Christmas market. And what did you think ?! Temperatures of minus 40. Of all days, mother nature could not have picked another weekend. Really !!??
On Friday evening, it was very cold and we thought that no one would come out. BUT slowly people came in and the parking lot was filled up constantly.
All these brave vendors who despite the colder temperatures towards the end of the evening, still kept a positive spirit.
And THEN came Saturday morning !
A beautiful sunny and cold morning.
(how are these temperatures even possible !)
27 tables with many different items that were for sale.
People were able to shop for unique gifts, and got seduced by the delicious smell of our Belgian waffles.
And after been gone for a little while, we had the honor of welcoming
The Madrigal singers back in our greenhouse.
WHAT A TREAT !!
If you were not yet in a Christmas spirit, we bet after this you were.
So while i am writing this blog, it has been snowing for 2 days and more is still to come. Sometimes the question does come up "Could we have not picked a warmer place to move to?!)
I am sure we could have, but after 15 years of living in Barrhead, we are happy to call this place our home.
As we close, most likely the last blog of the year 2013, we absolutely want to THANK YOU all for your support and friendship. We look forward preparing our business for spring and hope to offer you many different items.
We wish you all a very merry Christmas
and
a happy 2014 !
