The Wine, Food and Camaraderie at the Foothill Celebration

It appeared that everyone had a great day. The weather was pleasant, the rain held off, the wines from Bent Metal Winery were great and the cheesecake and chicken from Pleasant Valley Grill was wonderful. Over 700 people came into the store to sample the fare. The lines were long but everyone thought it was worth the wait.
Make a point of attending next year – the first Saturday in March.

A New Find

At one of the shows last week, I believe it was the San Francisco show, we came across beautiful pieces of wood “sculpture” from Wood Wildflowers out of Minnesota. Several of their pieces will soon be gracing our store. For the items we will be bringing in the retail prices will range from $39.00 to $85.00.
