Greetings All. The cold crisp air and brilliant leaves scattered across the ground have got us thinking of the holidays. All those box stores are certainly rushing us into Christmas with all their santas and stockings. Let’s slow down a bit, enjoy the fall color and look forward to a warm thanksgiving meal. Join us just before Thanksgiving if you would like to make a tabletop tree, we will be offering this class only one weekend. Bundle up, come on out, get a bit dirty and create beautiful holiday decorations for your home. Whether it’s November or December we hope to see you soon.

To sign up call (502)640-2039 or print a registration form and mail it in with payment.
