Grandma's Attic

A Time to be THANKFUL

HI I hope this finds everyone doing well. My title says "A time to be thankful". I really should be thankful everyday, not just around the holidays, and believe me I try, I really do,but I am human and sometimes I feel "ungrateful" and I need to try a little harder. (But one day at a time). For those of you who know me, you know that I wear my heart on my sleeve and have a hard time hiding my emotions. But lately I have taken a good look around and noticed a lot of things that either get missed or taken for granted. I am most grateful that I live in a country where we have been blessed with freedoms that many others don't have. I have a wonderful husband and two beautiful daughters. My house is a "home" full of things that I love and critters that wake me up in the night, and eat way too much. But we are so lucky to have them. God has blessed me with a wonderful family and batches of friends! Some old friends and new friends and friends I have re-connected with. I have a job that I love and great and loyal customer's. Anyway I just wanted to share a few things with you, and as you get together with your family or friends this holiday season, I wish you the best of times, after all

" you never know when you are making a memory!"

BARN CANDLES  these are simply the BEST!

We have lots of different recipe albums, cards and boxes to choose from. This would make a great gift for anyone in your family that loves "mom's" cooking!!!

one of our many casserole dishes round, oval, square or rectangle...you pick!

I will talk to you soon!

Celebrate Autumn

 I love fall it is my favorite season!!! I love the change of colors, the smell of crisp air, hometown football games and layering clothes!

The man in brown (Tony) has been busy bringing boxes, boxes and more boxes and besides bringing freight,he is always telling a joke or letting us know what is on his mind.

This is what our back room looks like when the boxes arrive. Keep in mind this is on a good day, I am just like a kid at Christmas and I have to open EVERY box and it does not matter how many boxes are already open!

and from this

and to this, much better huh??

we have a huge selection of fall linens, valances, rugs, and table cloths maybe all you need is a spot of color or a big change, we can help you with that!

A brand new line we are offering is

USA PAN

I found this line at market and was impressed with the quality of each pan, it is heavy and corrugated to prevent warping and minimizes surface contact with baked goods for an evenly baked product that releases easily. AND it is made in the USA which is a huge plus! I met John the director of sales for USA pan and he guaranteed me that if I took this pan home I would not have to oil or flour it. Well I was already sold on the product but took him up on his challenge anyway. Last weekend I decided I would make some brownies, the sticky gooey kind. I prepared the mix as directed except I did not oil OR flour the pan. After they were done baking, I let them cool for a few minutes and turned the pan over to see IF they really would not stick. Well thank goodness I held it over the counter because as soon as I turned it over they fell out! No joke, no cutting, no scrapping not even a crumb left in the pan!

Also our hand made BAKER"S chocolates are back in stock!!!

chocolate victoria's, geo ducks, peppermint patties, tiny terrapins, vanilla caramels,

peanut butter wiggle, and much more!

So that is all for now! I hope everyone is doing well!

My husband bought a little boat 2 summer's ago and the girls are running him ragged between water skiing and tubing "Dad take us, Uncle take us" but it is a lot of fun!!!!

FINALLY the last day of April

I don't know about anyone Else, but this month has gone on for what seems to be forever! I have so many irons in the fire I could probably roast enough marshmallows for the entire town! I have been working lots, but finding it hard to complete a task. Could be face book I guess or the fact that I've been looking out the window a lot. Anyway Megan has taken pictures of different displays in the shop and we hope to get them posted with in the next day or so. Our ice cream freezer is fully stocked and the kids and some adults are in daily for a treat, now only if the sun would shine without wind we'd be doing good! This past weekend Laini and Deanna and I went to Veranda Beach that was fun we got to tour the cottages and walk around and see the progress they have made. It is beautiful up there and I swear you feel like your in a totally different world, and to think it's just 40 minutes away!. I just received a large order of custom signs for our local areas, if you want a really unique gift for someone you should come in and check them out if we don't have one in stock we can special order one. I ordered curly girl canvas art and they should be here Monday, for those of you who don't know that is the cutest, best-est line I carry it is my all time favorite and I cannot get enough of it. I also received confirmation for my fall order of Kicky pants,( the baby line I carry that is made out of bamboo and super soft) well they expanded the line to offer more products and I knew as soon as I saw it I was in trouble, it is adorable and every little kid in town should have it in their closet! More about that later.

Grandmas Attic is teaming up with Sisters this weekend for our first annual bag sale, come in grab a bag and everything that fits in that bag will be 20% off!!! Sound fun? Well come on down!!

a new little sign we got in this week says..... "she left beauty wherever she went"

makes me think of my mom! thanks for stopping and we'll see ya soon
