Season's Greetings to all. With December only two days away, we're looking forward to the festive season and spending some time with family and friends. We've begun our holiday shopping and have started to decorate our home with favorite pieces we've collected over the years. Our two recent sales - Fall Fox Valley and our Fall Show - were exceptionally successful, and we'll end 2022 with the second edition of our December Gift Fest.

December Gift Fest

This Thursday at 10:00 we'll send an email to newsletter subscribers listing 101 small antique and vintage pieces - a variety of jewelry and accessories - which we feel might make interesting and affordable gifts. Because of the success of last year's Gift Fest, we've purchased many pieces especially for this event, and we've also slashed prices of a few things that have been on our website before. The result should be a mixture with something for nearly everyone.

Because we've reduced our margins on these pieces, we will add a shipping fee of $9.00 to the cost of each order shipped, but this charge will be waived on orders totaling more than $125.00.

The listing will appear in your inboxes around 10:00 on Thursday and remain online until Christmas Eve. We hope you'll find something for someone on your list.

Need any help getting in the spirit of the season? We have a video of Pippin taken last year on Christmas morning. It might be just the thing. Just click his nose.

The Back Page
We feel quite fortunate to live in Conway, out in the country and away from the visual clutter and noise of city life. One of the great benefits we enjoy is the night sky and the brilliant mornings that often follow. On a clear late November night, the effect can be extremely dramatic. Returning from Greenfield one evening last week, as darkness began to spread over the day, we noticed that the entire moon was clearly visible behind the thin sliver of light suspended above the earth. We pulled to the side of the road and took a few pictures.

The following morning, we found that our celestial light show hadn't yet ended. As we awoke, the Eastern sky seemed ablaze with fire. Pictures of these two memorable scenes are our back page this month.
