Christmas Eve is ONE WEEK Away!

Can you believe we are only ONE WEEK away from Christmas Eve? And if you are anything like our family, the Christmas festivities start full force that day. This 60 degree weather is not helping me realize that Christmas is here either!

I don’t know about you, but I still have a few people left on my shopping list. Stop by our Antiques Loft or Gift Shop to purchase a great and meaningful gift!
Also, do you still need a tree?

We still have a few trees left that are for sale BY DONATION ONLY! You can give whatever amount you feel led to give. $1 or $500 – It’s up to you! 
Stop by today to finish up your last minute Christmas needs!

One Stop Holiday Shop!

The holiday season is upon us and starting this weekend things are officially full flung Christmas (although I know some of you already have Christmas decorations up!) Starting this Friday, we will be selling Christmas Trees to benefit JRMF. All profit goes to help send children to church camp. We will be offering a variety of trees. All the trees are freshly cut and come with a hole already drilled in the bottom. We also sell tree stands if you are in need of a new one! This Friday we will be open until 6:00 p.m.!
The holiday season is all about giving. Why not give a gift that helps benefit others? In our gift shop we have many great items for sale that benefit great organizations that are making big changes! 
One company is Mercy House. Through their Fair Trade items, we are able to sell great items that help benefit mothers and women from all over the world. Each item is handcrafted by these ladies and their name and location is attached to each item. Learn more about this organization here
This Christmas give gifts that promote global change!

Another great company that we support in our gift shop is Mothco. Below is a short description about this awesome company started by high-schoolers! Learn more about them here.

In addition to the shops mentioned above, we also sell beautiful pieces of woodwork that are all done by a good friend of ours. These pieces are all hand crafted and unique. They would make great Christmas presents!

Come stop by our gift shop as you shop and prepare for Christmas this year! We also offer many other gifts in addition to what is mentioned. 
This year for Christmas, buy gifts (and trees!) that give back! Double the amount of giving – it doesn’t get better than that!

Chicken BBQ… Again!

Mark your calendars for Black Friday!
Ask and you shall receive! Our last chicken BBQ was such a great success and we had so many people ask us when we would be doing it again, that we are doing another chicken bbq on Black Friday!

Tickets are $4.

You may reserve your tickets, but reserved tickets will only be honored until 1:00pm.

Come visit us, have some chicken and Christmas shop in our little gift shop that supports several amazing organizations!
 

Black Friday will also be the first day of our Christmas Tree sale! All profits from this also goes towards JRMF!
Can’t wait to see you there!

Preserving the Past

Roughly 5+ years ago our mill manager, Tyler, got his picture taken with the band that he was a part of in front of two doors that were a part of the old Train Depot that used to sit on Water Street in Lititz, PA. The Depot was tore down roughly 2 years ago. Just this past week he had the privilege of refinishing the first of five doors that were salvaged by a local couple. We are so very thankful for the opportunity that we have to help people maintain appreciation for what has come before us. 
Reclaimed is the way to go folks.

 Below is the finished door hanging in the new owners’ home. It looks awesome! 

Thank you very much!

This past Saturday was the Grand Opening of our Antiques Loft. Thank you so very much to everyone that came out. It was a great success!

 Along with our grand opening, we also held our first annual Chicken BBQ to raise money for JRMF. It was definitely a learning experience, but again, thanks to you guys, it went better than we expected. We sold out of chicken by 11:30 am, bought more chicken, and sold out again by 1:00pm! (The BBQ was suppose to go until 3:00pm.)

Along with the day, we also did a $100 gift certificate give away! 

AND THE WINNER IS…
Angie Strouse!!!
Thank you, thank you, thank you to everyone that came out to support us!!! We appreciate you more than you know!
