A Joyous Hello Everyone,

Even though we’ve had a few gloomy rainy days lately, that hasn’t stopped Spring from arriving at Mulberry Cottage. Yep, Spring has certainly sprung at “the Cottage”! I can’t wait to see each of you at our Spring Open House on Saturday, March 6th! Make sure you come early, the first 50 people get a special gift with a $25 min. purchase! There will also be a chance to win one of 3 gift certificates in our “Golden Eater Egg Hunt”. Just find one of 3 golden eggs, which will be hidden somewhere in the store throughout the day (morning, mid-day and afternoon). We’ll also have refreshments and free sampling of some yummy foods while you enjoy a wonderful and unique shopping experience.

You’ll feel Spring in the air when you walk in and see the beautiful spring flowers and smell the wonderful new Spring candle fragrances from McCall’s, Yankee, Bridgewater, and a wonderful new line from a local talent… Burnt Wick Candles. You’ll love the Amber Vanilla and Pink Sugar fragrances in this line. Then, you’ll find some of our many wonderful Easter treasures, which are all about the Garden and Easter joy this season.

Our kitchen will be filled with spring linens and beautiful tableware for your springtime gatherings. Also, in the kitchen you’ll find yummy foods (some of which we’ll be sampling). There are many, but I want to mention 2 new lines. The Brown Family Farm line of very tasty crepe, pancake, and waffle mixes, delicious maple syrups, and decadent maple butter… soooo yummy! Also, our new “Oh Sugar” line of yummy chocolate chip cookies and other sweet treats are great for the Easter basket or just for nibbling. Of course, we have new stock of your favorite foods from Plentiful Pantry, Frontier Soups, Barefoot Contessa, dips from Pelican Bay, and tasty jellies from House of Webster. Yup, our kitchen is a cooking with all kinds of delicacies!

Just off of the kitchen is the “Garden Room”. This room is like a beautiful garden atrium full of all you need to decorate you home and garden for spring! We’ve got birds, birdhouses, birdbaths, fountains, bunnies, frogs, pedestals, vases, urns, floral décor, wind chimes, and so much more. It’s meditative beauty is so relaxing, I guarantee you’ll want to just lay on the cozy bed, pull on of our new soft, cozy spring throws and just let your eyes wander around the room. It’s so tranquil that you’d probably fall asleep if it weren’t for all the people shopping around you.

Just down the ramp, you’ll find so many wonderful things from the new Vera Bradley Spring collection to the wonderful scents in our bath and body section. We have Camille Beckman, European Soaps, Pacifica and Greenleaf spa collection, sachets and room sprays. Our Heritage Lace line has grown too! We have some beautiful soft beach curtains with the shells, delicate curtains with birds, and some fun, whimsy curtains with embroidered bees, and some with small roosters. You must see these. We also do special orders, so make sure to ask one of the girls to see a catalog! We also have some beautiful new jewelry that I’m sure you will love. Our Natural Life section has grown. This is a favorite of mine and all the gals… Cute stuff! In the kids section you have to check out the new line Kidorables. This line of rain wear for your little ones is just adorable, hence their name… Kidorable! There is also a Cherry Cheeks line of soft brightly colorful stuffed animals that any little one or even a big one will want to cuddle up with!
So I’ve given you just a small glimpse of what you’ll find at our Spring Open House. We’ve all been working very hard, doing spring cleaning to get the shop ready for you, our wonderful friends. We do hope you join us on this wonderful day as we welcome Spring at Mulberry Cottage!
