Anyone else frustrated by the "unique" occasional sales & boutiques selling mass-produced crap? You have a sale a few times a year and that's what you offer guests driving from all over to experience your event? As I think about hosting occasional sales in the future, I want you to know that is not how I operate! In the past, I've purchased very few items in bulk, and only did so because I personally love them and wanted to have available to my customers (knit gloves). Handcrafted, upcycled, reclaimed, vintage, and secondhand are where it's at! Let's stop giving Amazon (and Shein, and Temu, and dollar stores, and Walmart and Target) all our hard-earned money just to have our homes filled with the same stuff our neighbors have...that will likely end up donated or in the landfill sooner rather than later!

Yesterday, a favorite thrift store lost a customer for life. When an item is tagged $9.99 and the opposite side of the tag shows $19.99 (both in the exact same handwriting, I might add), isn't it pretty obvious which price should be honored? Even big box retail stores (where pricing is typically tied to a UPC code) will honor mistakes on their end. Yet this was the response of this thrift store: the cashier, likely a volunteer, called for the manager to check the price. After several minutes, the manager appeared and quickly determined the lower price was wrong, taking a sharpie to x out the lower price. When I informed them that the lower price should be honored without question, the cashier joyfully shrugged her shoulders saying "not today"; meanwhile the manager angrily said something to the effect of "fine, if you want it for $10, then I guess you can have it," insinuating I was the problem. She then proceeded to tear up the tag and toss it. I walked out and will not be back. Unfortunately, I had already spent over $50 that I had already taken to my car when I came back for the tree. Also, the fact that a thrift store thinks a 3-1/2' donated tree is worth $20 baffles me. And, finally, if I am ever fortunate enough to have staff or volunteers helping me, I would be ashamed if they didn't feel empowered enough to make such obvious decisions without my input.

In addition to porch pots, I've also had requests for holiday baking! If interested in treats for either Thanksgiving or Christmas, I would be happy to help! My Dutch apple pie and pumpkin bars are two favorites! Pies are approximately 3 , and are $25 each, or $20 each for 2 or more for each holiday. If interested in bars, I would ask you to provide your own sheet pan, as my disposables are quite small. A half-sheet pan would serve at least 40 for $30; a quarter-sheet at least 20 for $20. I anticipate having them ready for pickup by Tuesday, November 24, for Thanksgiving orders; and Wednesday, December 23, for Christmas orders, though other arrangements can be made to accommodate your get-togethers! Please message, email, or text me if interested in any baking. Thank you!

Back by popular demand, I will be taking orders for holiday greenery pots! Shown is an example of a past year's pot. These are quite large, typically 30-36" high and include greens, hydrangeas, and dogwood, and are arranged in a generic black plastic pot. If you have your own pots to use, please drop off by November 14. $30 each or 2/$50. Please message, email or text me to reserve yours. Right now, I'm anticipating pickup by November 21, but other arrangements can be made! Thank you!

Thanks to all who stopped out over the last several weeks! I'll be packing up the shed to prepare for winter. Stay tuned for details on future events!

Today 10-6 is our last sale of the fall season! Local honey, pumpkin bars & apple crisp, plus lots of decor & gift items! Then I'll be packing everything up! Still not sure if I can pull off any holiday sales, but I have a couple of other ideas in the works. I've also had requests for my porch pots, so watch for information about pre-orders! Thank you for coming back to Yonder Way!

Accepting pre-orders for baking for Saturday! We tend to sell out for Vino in the Valley Customer Appreciation. Even though we won't be set up down in the valley, we still want to be prepared on the hilltop! Right now, I'm planning Pumpkin Bars & Apple Crisp -- anything else I need to bake?! Send a message, text, or comment below to reserve yours!
