Pom Pom Ideas + Thinking About Thanksgiving!
Hello Friends:
A quick note today to remind you all about our First Ever Open Farmhouse/Open Studio Event this weekend. I've been a busy little bee, making, making, making. A bit of holiday decorating too.
Mark and Julia will be selling our farm-raised lamb - perfect for holiday meals.
BECAUSE OF THE OPEN FARMHOUSE EVENT, WE WILL NOT BE AT THE AMHERST WINTER FARMERS MARKET WHICH BEGINS ON SATURDAY. WE WILL BE THERE FOR THE REST OF THE SEASON.
Here's what Kristin has been making and will be selling at the Open Farmhouse Event:
Handmade colorful pottery
Handsewn Linen Dishtowels - Exclusive designs by me
Oil Paintings
Handpainted Lampshades
Antique Assemblage Lampbases
Notecards and Postcards
Crewel embroidered pillows
Signed copies of my books
Our neighbor Alicia will have her art studio open and is selling all kinds of her fantastic artwork at a range of prices. Read more about Alicia here. Our friend Deborah Garner will be selling antique collectible textiles, handmade jewelry, and scarves. Read more about Deborah here. Our neighbor Debbie is bringing her handmade wreaths for sale too!
We are only 2 hours from Boston and 1 1/4 hours north of Hartford - just off of Rt. 91. We are about 35 minutes from both Amherst and Northampton, Mass.
Here are the directions to our farm. Here are Google Maps directions to our farm.

Take a drive to Leyden. Visit our farmhouse which is featured in the newest issue of Yankee Magazine. Pick up some lamb for holiday meals. Check out the handmade things for holiday gifting.
We hope to see some of you this weekend!
With best wishes,
Kristin, Mark and Julia
p.s. I've shared some photos of my pottery process at the end of this email.
