It seems most people are wrapping the shopping up and all that is left is to fill the stockings by the chimney with care. Last year, I shopped at this wonderful spot "Barneche" located in the Catskills of NY and found some lovely items, soaps, creams, and handmade things. I love filling stockings with thoughtful items and old fashioned things too, like oranges, peppermints. Are your stockings hung by the chimney with care?

I love finding little shops like your Barneche that just has everything I love to give. 15 minutes away is my favorite shop- at the Sundance Ski Resort. I love shopping for stockings there... unique candles, treats, soaps, homemade lollipops etc.. It makes stocking stuffing so much fun.
ReplyDeleteI hope you have a WONDERFUL Christmas. I have so enjoyed reading your blog this year. Your artwork is beautiful.
I'll have to add Barneche to my list of places to visit.
