We have a busy week ahead, and I just wanted to take a minute to wish my customers a Happy Thanksgiving.

Hope you are all safe in your travels.

Enjoy the time with your family and friends.

And most importantly - remember to be thankful for all the blessings in your life.

Happy Thanksgiving, my friends!

The day after Thanksgiving, otherwise known as Black Friday, is fast approaching.

Sales has been steady online in the past on this day, and we are hoping that this year is no exception

There is a new term that I heard about for the first time last year, and it is called, Cyber Monday.

That is the Monday after Thanksgiving, when everyone goes back to work and finds the good deals online.

We have been busy listing more in our Ebay store in anticipation of these days.

The good deals are out there, and we will be spending time doing our shopping online too.

We are all looking for the best deal for our money - both the merchants and the buyers!

Here’s to good deals for all!

Made by Villeroy and Boch, this unique bottle stopper is in the shape of a soccer ball.

It has clear and frosted crystal panels that represent the white and black panels on a soccer ball.

It is made of lead crystal and it has a rubberized band to ensure an air-tight fit.

Brand new in the box, it would make a great gift for one who loves soccer and wine!

What a unique find this little cook book was.

It is titled: The Uncommon Cookbook.

It is edited and illustrated by Phyllis Coggins and it is sponsored by the NOAA Office of Sea Grant and the Department of Commerce.

It has some very unique and different recipes that use octopus, mussells, squid, sea urchin, fish and eel.

It uses seafood that is found off the coast of Maine.

An unusual item that would make a great gift for the cook who has everything.

Turning the clocks back in the fall really signals the beginning of winter here in New England.

With the sun setting at 4:30, the days seem so much shorter.

The leaves have all dropped from the trees and covered the floor of the forest with their vibrant beauty.

Won’t be long until they all turn to brown, but for the next few days they are a beautiful sight.

We like to spend a couple hours in the woods this time of year just sitting and listening and observing.

As winter begins to close in, all of nature’s little creatures are quite busy - and it is a joy to watch them.

Off for today’s walk before the night moves in.
