Cricket's Nest: Christmas Open House

Join our friends at the Cricket's Nest this Saturday, October 29th, 10 am to 4 pm, for the annual Christmas Open House! Their members have been busy making the most adorable ornaments, house fashion decor, and yard decorations imaginable! They have the traditional snowflake crochet ornaments and the fabulously sassy Snow Peoples, as well as hauntingly beautiful Morvavian LoveFeast Black Glass ornaments.

In addition to the Christmas items, there will still be a beautiful array of Fall Items including wreaths, floral arrangements, Halloween decorations, warm hats, fashionable scarves, and more! Be sure to check out the Primitve section of the shop for the unique and eclectic presentation of the Fall Season.

Shoppers purchasing over $25.00 in merchandise will receive a FREE gift bag made by a Cricket's Nest Member! (One per Customer--while supplies last!)

If you have any questions or need directions, please give them a call at 336-659-4315.

While you're there, pick up some of our Buffalo Gal's Goat Milk Soap too... it makes a great gift too!
