Isn’t he adorable? Well, we’ll see if he has a more springy announcement for us since the forecasters are saying a late start to spring. Rain (snow) or shine, we’ll keep on eating and drinking the local good stuff. Come see us at the winter market 9 – 2 and see what’s available!
I, for one, am loving that all those “dead” things around us are covered with a nice soft shroud of lacy white. The frigid weather is a challenge as far as leaving the house. I won’t be at the market this weekend, but I’m expecting to be at my daughter’s baby shower…. fun!
It is definitely wrong that if you’re a grower or farmer, you get to sit back and be lazy this time of year. There’s always a lot to learn before seeds are started. We’ll be at the winter market too, so ask what we’ve got going and pick up some supplies for your home, or you’re outlook, if you get my meaning. We’ll all be there!
The holidays are over and it feels like it’s time to get comfy and hunker down. But, you should sneak out to the winter market for some supplies to make your den just right. Get you some makings for some tasty tea and great soups, stew, and in general, some healthy comfort food. Come see us for all your herb needs!
Sometime, we just get too worried about how things will turn out. Whatever (or whoever) you have coming will feel special if you do just a few things. Some of the best celebrations I’ve been too or hosted came out the best when I just believed that my food, drink, and decor, especially if I made it would be me and that was good. Dare to try a few herb blends and teas mixed in. Come by the Lolo PTSA Fair and look us up. we’ve got reasonable prices and easy ideas!
Everything in life is better if you prepare. With a little thinking through, you can make this month sing. If you host, have something different along with the traditional fare. Get some extra oohs and awes that you can all share in. Then … let “er rip and have a blast! Two more markets till Christmas and one more craft fair: at the Lolo Community Center. Hope we can be a part of your celebration!
Thanksgiving is coming! Two words in one—thanks and giving. Thanksgiving ushers in a whole season of gifting. One of my favorite holidays because we see all that’s been harvested all dressed up and get to partake in it… and everything we’re thankful for. It’s our favorite time of the year, since food is the center of everything and we’re making the herb and spice products for enhancing culinary delights and libations. And, it’s time to put together all the “herb pinching” crafts where we use the newly harvested herbs dried on the stem to create the innovative Herb Pinching for the Kitchen…Bouquets, wreathes and all sorts of sets-for both Culinary and Wellness Tea herbs. You’ll have lots of places for holiday needs or giftingIn the month of November, Big Sky Herbs starts on:Nov. 16th at Hellgate Elementary from 9-3.
