Starting to look like Christmas....



It is starting to look like Christmas here at The Brickhouse Craft Shop. We had customers asking us when we were putting out our Christmas/Winter things....well we have started to do just that! Here is a mini tour of our Shop of some of the Christmas/Winter crafts that we have on hand. We are anxiously awaiting more to arrive within the next couple of weeks..can't wait! Before we go on our tour I would like to ask all of you to send Get Well Wishes to our good friend and our wonderful crafter here at the Shop...Beryl...she has been very sick but she is on the mend...if you all could stop by her BLOG and leave her a message, her email is on her blog. I am sure she would love to hear from you. She is such a great friend and I am SO happy that she is ok..she had me so worried. Beryl, if you are reading this, don't do that to me again, I was so worried about you!

Ok...now on with the pictures....

Come see what is new!


It is cold rainy day here in Millersburg, PA. We lit the fire in the Shop, so if you are in the area today, stop by and have a seat by the fire and we can chat.

Here are a few new goodies that we have here at the Shop. We have a new crafter that is now making our silicone dipped lights.



I know there are a lot of people that dip these lights but Tonya has a very unique technique for her lights. It is hard to get good pictures of the lights so you have to stop by and see them for yourself. You will love them! And Tim and I love Tonya...she is the nicest person! We were honored to meet her last Sunday when she stopped by the Brickhouse to deliver our lights. Please stop by and see these lights!
And here is what I am now making for the Brickhouse..........



I love making these but I am finding it hard to not buy every fragrance oil that I see or maybe I should say SMELL! I will be spending today making and packaging more tarts.
Stop by and see what else we have that is new in the Shop. I am starting to put some of the Christmas/Winter handmades in the Shop. SO stay tuned, I will be back on the blog to show you the wonderful Handmades that we are getting in the Shop. Tim and I have the best crafters/friends that make the most amazing Handmades. We think if you stop by the Shop you will agree with us!

I am back.

It feels like forever since I have been here. I apologize for not updating our blog the past couple of weeks. The end of summer is always a busy time here at the Brickhouse. We have the Shop full of lots of Fall/Halloween goodies.



Tim and I are busy getting things ready for the upcoming Holidays, especially Christmas. We are working behind the scenes building up our inventory. And our crafting friends are busy as Santa's Elves making wonderful goodies for the Shop.
We just picked up another order of candles and they are flying off the shelves. We picked them up on Tuesday and on Wednesday when we opened we sold 9 in less than an hour. AND then today every customers that came in the Shop bought a candle or two! I am thinking we may need to place another candle order very soon! For Christmas we will have ELF SWEAT candles! Yes, ELF SWEAT...let me tell you..it smells wonderful..so don't let the name fool you. My friend Tarrah and I both smelled this candle on Tuesday when I picked up the candles and we LOVED it! So along with the Reindeer Poo
that was a big hit last Christmas season we are going to add some Elf Sweat!
We still are making lots of birdhouses for our customers. And we are looking forward to next Spring when we will a lot more birdhouses and other wooden crafts available here at the Brickhouse.



It is nice to be back here on the blog. I promise to be back more often to keep you up to date with what is happening here at The Brickhouse. And if you want more frequent updates make sure to check us out on Facebook. Also, if you are in our neck of the woods we would love if you stopped by The Brickhouse!
