The Stillroom

I remember being in elementary school during the holiday season.  From Halloween to Christmas, those last few months of the year brought so much excitement!  The very thought of a party at school was all consuming.  The costumes, the candy, the parade around the block…it was so much fun.  Then came Thanksgiving.  Drawing the traditional hand turkey in art class always set the stage for what was to come.  Singing Over the River with the class before the final bell rang to dismiss hundreds of running, laughing kids was the best.  I remember living in Baltimore during the 90’s and driving home for Thanksgiving with that very same rush of childhood excitement at the thought of walking into my parents house and seeing the big roaster full of broken up pieces of bread waiting to be turned into stuffing the next morning.   I still sing Over the River even though we are not traversing rugged terrain and snow and cold by horse and buggy.  Now, we go two blocks to my sister’s house where we are still gathering with our parents and brothers and sisters and husbands and wives and the roast beast.

Light Up Night in Saxonburg is this coming Friday and I will be open at the State Street location for a bit.  The parade starts at 7 and I will be on Main Street watching it this year.  Join me at The Stillroom on State around 7:30 for a visit if you get a minute!  I’ll be hanging out until about 9.  Follow the luminaria, they will light the way to my door.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart for your continued support and remember to shop small.  It is a good thing.
