gentlemen...start your engines.....

One of the sweet treats my daughter and I made for the sale were these little candy Santa sleighs.
You can pick what ever candy you like and create lovely little gifts that are great for the kids to give to each other or sweet little teacher gifts.

Start with a full size candy bar and hot glue the candy cane sled rails (as you see at the bottom of this picture).  I used my two favorites: Reese's and Kit Kats. 
I secure the rails with a little extra hot glue on the sides.
Then pile up the mini candy bars.  Add a  pretty ribbon and a little bow.  
I finished mine off with these cute little chocolate Santa's I found at Aldi's.

 And yes,  a glass of wine is always nice to accompany any creation :)

a huge thank you!!

Wow!  We are humbled!  

We want to say THANK YOU to everyone who came over the weekend to visit us.  

We thought the pouring down rain would keep everyone away!

It didn't!!

It was so great to see so many old friends and make some new ones!

Thank you to all our wonderful friends and customers who stood in the rain.

Thanks to my darling son who worked the muddy parking lot and made sure no one got stuck! 

Thanks to my sweet daughter who helped me so much.

Thanks to my wonderful French Hen Farm crew, which without you this wouldn't be possible...

Thanks to my sisters, Becky and Sandy; my cousins Judy, Jane and Bonnie; and my friends Anne, Cindy, Kim, Carrin and Jeff, Jenni and AJ, Mechele; and my mom, who instilled this love of what we do here.
And a very special thanks to my hubby who helps me every day and loves this as much as I do!

fa la la la la!

hope to see you tomorrow night or saturday!

frosty the snow tree

Frosty the snow tree is waiting your arrival!

snow deer

Here is another Table centerpiece I made.  This one started with an old ironstone plate. 
I found an old bottle brush tree and some vintage deer.
I brushed the deer with some glue and sprinkled snow and glitter on them.
Topped them off with a glass dome!
Perfect winter centerpiece!
