The beautiful fall days are being enjoyed by everyone. You can just tell. Last evening, we were in “the big city” and at ten at night, everything just seemed light. People were chatting, meeting, waiting for buses, wearing sweaters, having a cup of coffee and a smoke, dining outside… it really can’t get any better. We were at Heinz Hall catching a Louie C.K. show and saw a post from my nephew Adam showing a picture of the stage. Turns out he was sitting at the other end of our row with his date.
There is still quite a bit of green in the A-K Valley. This is kind of rare, usually all of the leaves blow away on Halloween weekend. The nicest part of this is it will help to make winter seem much shorter.
Each season holds its own magic. Summer is long gone and here in mid autumn, the sky could not be more blue. The tree across the street at the church is a work of art against the sky with the morning sun lighting up the canvas. I am blessed with a serene view from my “office” window.
Speaking of Light Up Night not, it is that time of the year folks. The Light Up Night Festivities with our annual blink and you’ll miss it parade will be happening the evening after Thanksgiving. That’s November 25th so mark that on your calender. Here’s the thing. Our town is little and to me, this one special evening is magic. It’s a throwback to all of the things we remember growing up. The few shops decorate to the nines, houses light up, luminaria light the Main Street. There is an energy that is uplifting and happy.
Be sure to check out our shopping guide at www.saxonburgshoppes.com! There are some changes in the guide and it will be updated in January of 2012. In the meantime, just know that LeNora Moore is no longer here or My Livingroom. The floral shop went out but we are happy to say that Saxonblooms reopened so we still have fresh flowers if you need them! There is a smoke shop that also moved in on Main St. this past fall.
The Stillroom will now be open on Tuesdays! We are here Tuesday through Saturday from 10-3 and Christmas Eve until 2p.m.
Please note that November 26th is our open house as we celebrate not only our 9th Christmas in business, but also Small Business Saturday. Do a pop in and pick up a sample of your favorite tea. I can’t do a pour here but the idea is to select a tea to try at the end of the day. A time when you can really put your feet up and contemplate or meditate and just relax. Join me in the Zen Den and wind down for a few minutes.
