Craft Workshops, Baked Treats, Garden Goodies, House Plants and more
We can’t promise snow and a stunning view of Camel’s Hump. But we do promise delicious scents from the Bake Shop kitchen, creative inspiration at our workshops, and warm vibes from good company. On Sunday, November 17th, 2024 we are open for a pop-up shop and crafty workshops. You are invited to join us between 9am and 5pm to browse our house plant offerings, peruse the garage sale, enjoy treats from the Bake Shop or participate in one of our workshops. More details will follow as we get closer to the event, so we recommend staying in touch via Newsletter (you can sign up at the bottom of our welcome page). Below you can find some of the offerings for the day.
Workshop Schedule
10:00am - 12:00pm Herbal Mocktails FOR WINTER FESTIVITIES with Sophie Cassel
Get ready to entertain in style this winter. By stocking your bar with herb-infused syrups, vinegars and bitters, you can enjoy delicious mocktails all holiday season. We will use a variety of garden-grown herbs and essential kitchen spices which do double duty as tasty ingredients and health-promoting tonics. Participants will go home with lots of recipes and some handcrafted samples to enjoy. Ages 14 and up. $48. Sign up here.
1:00pm - 5:00pm Birch bark ornaments with Penny Hewitt
Enjoy the simple pleasure of creating a decoration or gift from materials responsibly harvested in VT. Utilizing techniques common to the Scandinavian and Russian style of basketry, you will craft birds and stars using strips of inner bark from the paper birch tree. Included is a discussion on how these materials are harvested and prepared. Everyone will leave with three ornaments. Ages 14 and up. $135. Sign up here.
2:00pm - 4:00pm RUSTIC Dried flower WREATH with Susan Lepple
Do you appreciate the whispyness of grasses, the mounding greens of mosses, the complexities and colors of flowers, the texture and form of seed pods and the irregular nature of branches, twigs, and vines? In this workshop Susan will provide instruction on how to use natural materials to create a beautiful rustic wreath to adorn an interior space. All materials have been grown or collected by Susan and she is happy to answer questions on the process of growing, foraging, drying and storing. Each participant will have enough materials to make one large wreath or two small wreaths. Please feel free to bring your own special materials, if you like. All ages, kids under 11 need to be accompanied by an adult. $65. Sign up here.
