It's that Time Again...

    Our packing and shipping department is working long hours packaging magazines for all of the wonderful shops that carry it. In just nine short days we will have our first shipment out the door with the remainder being shipped on the 10th. I would expect most shops to have their shipment by Valentine's Day or shortly after. The number of shops that carry our magazine has drastically increased due to popularity and demand. We are actively working on processing the wholesale orders and should have them all entered into our system within the week. If you have not placed your wholesale or subscription order yet, there is still time! Visit our website at www.aprimitiveplace.org for more info.

A Hudson Valley Holiday

 

Karen here…. My first photo shoot of the new year was clear & quite cold while I packed up my car for the short ride to an early Dutch Colonial, here in the historic Hudson Valley. I stepped inside to find the carefully renovated home sparkling with wonderful Christmas decorations! It was warm & inviting as were the homeowners Robert & Eddie & their friendly pup McDuff. There were so many special treasures that filled the home, some lovingly crafted or received as gifts, others perfectly selected antiques. I set right to work, while my hosts placed some of these treasures in just the right places. We talked about the abundance of early Dutch homes in our area, many of which Robert has had the pleasure of seeing & has a wealth of knowledge about. Before I knew it, it was time to say goodbye. What an honor & special treat to be in a home with such history! Thank you Robert & Eddie for sharing your beautiful home with me & all the readers of APP & CJ! Here are some tidbits of what I saw for you to enjoy.

Eddie made this little cardboard replica of their home for Robert as a gift.

May 2012 be happy & healthy & full of what you love!...Karen
