Although I won't say that Spring is in the air (to the groundhog I say, "I'll believe it when I see it!") I will say that LOVE is in the air! What perfect timing for tomorrow's Amenia Winter Market! We will be packed to the brim with delicious treats, as well as beautiful handcrafted gifts. Just a tiny sampling of gift ideas: heart-shaped organic soap; chocolate croissants, granola and yogurt for a romantic breakfast feast; pastured pork sausage and handmade marinara sauce for a quick but delicious dinner (don't forget a loaf of fresh crusty bread!); farm-fresh eggs for baking a magical souffle; cookies and cakes for all tastes and desires; a handmade ceramic teapot for sharing tea in bed on Valentine's morning; felted cashmere bunnies for the littlest loved ones in your family; soup bones by the pound for Fido... Nobody needs to be left out when it comes to spreading the warmth of LOVE!! This winter has been cold enough!
