This year's St. Patrick's Day Caroler is a darling Irish boy. This boy is dressed in a white shirt with black pants. He has accessorized his look with a festive green scarf and a grey pageboy hat. He is ready for a party with his harp.

We are excited to let you know that we were able to get a couple more Irish Vaillancourt pieces on our order. They are expected to arrive the beginning of March. Everyone is Irish on St Patrick's Day, is an adorable mushroom shaped house. With a very Irish Santa peaking out the windows. With lovely shades of green and clover accents this is a beautiful piece that is sure to bring good luck to anyone (whether you are Irish or not). At this point we are taking pre-orders on this item. Please do not delay ordering as we are expected to sell out of these, again.

We know that for some of you it is a little early to be thinking about spring, but we have seen such a positive response to our Valentine and St. Patrick's chalkware that we wanted to mention a few of our other spring pieces. First, we have the Formal Bunny with Carrots. This adorable bunny is ready to see his sweetheart. He is wearing white and yellow pants and his best blue blazer. Of course, he is carrying a beautiful bouquet of carrots.

Next we have the Derby Rabbit. This dashing rabbit is wearing his spring suit complete with a walking stick, purple tie, and hat. He is ready for the Easter Sunday festivities. Has there ever been a better dressed bunny?

Finally, we have the Large Black and White Bunny on Delft Egg. This classic looking black and white bunny is a striking creation. He is featured sitting on his favorite Delft egg, which has a classic white and blue design. This bunny is much more realistic looking and could be kept up year round for any bunny lovers.

We also have one of our favorite pieces from last year left, Rabbit with Egg. This Rabbit is getting ready for Easter with a massive (well, it is big for him) egg that he is rolling to the Easter party. This rabbit is pushing a green wheelbarrow with an egg finely painted with sweet little ducks.

Our website team has been busy getting merchandise up on our website this winter. We are excited to have our Willow tree pieces available for you to buy online. Willow Tree is a line of resin sculptures designed by Susan Lordi. These sculptures are designed to reflect our relationships with people and the world around us. In times like the pandemic, building and having relationships have taken on new meaning and new importance. These pieces are a great way to show someone that you love them, thank them for their kindness, or just to let them know you are thinking of them. The ornaments are all $20 or less. Most of the sculptures are less than $40. We also have the nativity set available.

With St. Patrick's Day coming, we wanted to highlight the Irish Charm. Susan Lordi was inspired by young Celtic dancers for this piece. This piece is a young girl dressed in a cream dress with arms down at her sides. On the front of the dress are Celtic stylized knots. Her hair is in classic curls and she is wearing a wire crown of hearts. With this item is an enclosure card with the sentiment "May luck and laughter light your days." A sentiment that we wish for all of you!

This time of year is cold and dry, resulting in cracked skin. We have spent too much money trying to find different lotions to be able to handle the cold Wisconsin weathers and by far our favorite is the Archipelago brand. This lotion is thick and soothing without the burning after feel. It also comes in some amazing fragrances, Charcoal Rose, Lavender, Black Honey, Oat Milk and Soy Milk. The fragrances are light and not too over powering. The hand cremes are the perfect size to throw in your purse during the winter months.

This month's book is Nothing is Scary with Harry. This delightful children's book tells the story about Kate and her blankie. Kate has many fears that she has to face as a child, but finds that with the help from her blankie, Harry, she can be brave and face her fears. This book is a great children's story about being brave and facing your fears and connects with anyone who has a special blankie to help them get through those hard times.

We have just received our first shipment of new Christopher Radko pieces. We are working on getting them up on the website and hope they will be up there soon. Watch for our next newsletter for more information about those new ornaments. We are expecting to get our first Old World shipment in March.

This month's winner of a $50 gift certificate is......Lauri Nyberg.

Congratulations!

If you find your way up in Door County, we are open Thursday thru Monday 10am to 5pm. We are closed on Tuesdays and Wednesdays.

We'll be waiting for you!

Sue Ann and Ron Flittner
