Beekeeper's Cottage is all decked out for the holidays!!!!

We have just put all the finishing touches in the store for the Holidays. We have had so much fun! We have some amazing garlands and ornaments and the store has never looked better! We even repainted the upstairs to get ready for all of our guests! We are keeping the store overflowing with wonderful holiday gift ideas and are working on loading Santa's Sleigh! I will post more pictures as soon as we catch our breath and show you many wonderful decorating ideas throughout the store and in our own homes.

True Friendship!

Nancy and I wish to extend heartfelt thanks to Jennifer Carter-Wharton whose artistic photographs of our shop were used in the October 2009 issue of Romantic Homes Magazine. She's simply a life-saver! Here's what happened.....

Nancy and I found out in April that our shop would be featured in an upcoming issue of Romantic Homes Magazine. Need I say we shouted for joy? We did that and more! We excitedly began staging the Cottage. Pictures were the next logical step.... and yet Nancy and I knew we lacked the expertise to capture the beauty and uniqueness of our shop. We needed help!! My friend Jennifer volunteered. With her quiet confidence and creative flare she calmly snapped fabulous photographs of our Cottage and taught me a thing or two about picture-taking!! Many of those pictures can be seen in the October issue of Romantic Homes Magazine. We are thankful for her time, guidance and talent. A special thanks to Sarah Elkalban who assisted with staging as we prepared each shot:)

Jennifer Carter-Wharton makes her home in the greater metropolitan area of Washington DC. She is an artist and writer who embraces the whimsical things in life. Whether with the lens of a camera or the tip of a pen, she searches for the beauty in all that she sees and feels. Jennifer is currently looking for a literary agent to represent her children's book, "What the Wind Whispered".

Beekeeper's Cottage is featured in the October issue of "Romantic Homes" magazine! It is available on newstands nationwide and of course we have copies in the store!

New Camera!

Oooh-la-la! Nancy and I are so excited! We recently purchased a Nikon d60! It's taking fabulous pictures:) Our website and blog is going to be chock-full of the most incredible snaps ever! Be on the look out for these crisp pics!
