Autumn & Halloween

Marmalade by Judy Havelka (Allure)

Marmalade candles by Judy Havelka are one of the first memories I have of our shop, and I know many of you would say the same.  An absolute household requirement it seems, marmalade candles and rosehips are among the few things that would create a bit of fuss if we ever ran out.  With good reason too!  These just smell SO GOOD.  Everything you want in a warm, spicy, vaguely fruity, country fragrance.  Judy Havelka now goes by the name Allure, but it is the same great candle.

We are fully stocked in marmalade votives, but I wanted also let you know that we have expanded our selection to some new items that you many not be aware of.

Marmaladetarts

Have a wax warmer/tart burner, even one of those Scentsy thingies?  Marmalade comes in wax potpourri!  

Marmaladetarsd

Just break off a square and pop into your warmer to release the fragrance, without the worry of a candle flame.  Same great color and smell, just without a wick!

Marmaladejar

Many have asked for a larger size candle than the mini pillar.  Here we have the Jar Candle!  Comes poured in an elegant reusable glass cup, beautifully packaged in a round black box hot stamped with the logo.  

Marmaladejarinbox

Makes a lovely gift!  Depending on conditions, the Jar Candle has a 65+ hour burn time.

Pudkapodsd

In addition to the scented rosehips, during the fall we also carry the scented pudka pods.  Resembling tiny pumpkins, they are darling!  Use them the same way you'd use the rosehips - displayed in a bowl, glass vase, around a candle in a dish, etc.  Scented in the same marmalade fragrance!

Marmaladepotpourrid

Also during the fall, we have the botanical potpourri.  This is a high quality potpourri folks - no wood chips or random pieces of who-knows-what here.  The marmalade botanical potpourri is made entirely of things you'd find in your kitchen or out in the woods - dried orange slices, bay leaves, star anise, dried citrus peel, and whole cinnamon sticks, all highly scented in the classic marmalade fragrance.  Just like the pudka pods and roseships, it is sold by the cup - we're sure to always include a little of everything in each cup measurement!

RosehipsD

Then we have the old standby, our marmalade rosehips.  Aren't these just pretty?

Marmaladeoil

Need to refresh your potpourri?  Just add a few drops of the Marmalade Refresher Oil.  Judy Havelka/Allure has gone through a few bottle styles over the years, and while this one lacks the country look of old, it is much more efficient.  We found that some of the old bottle styles did not stand up to the highly concentrated oil, and it ate through the dropper lids.  Yikes!  This one is pretty and practical.  You can also place a drop of the refresher oil on a lightbulb, or even on your heat register - anything that has a little warmth that will help release the scent into the air!

MarmaladeVotiveM

Of course, we can't forget the classic marmalade item - the votive.  Judy Havelka/Allure actually calls this a mini pillar because of it's extra-large size.  Indeed I've had many customers say that they don't even burn these in a candle cup, they just set it out like a pillar candle.  Depending on environmental conditions, the votive candle burns for about 18 hours.

And there you have it!  All the Marmalade you could ever want! :)

 


Sparkling Hands

EH28461s2L

We have been opening some fun things in the last few weeks, and I wanted to share something with you today - super fun creepy hands, perfect with Halloween coming up this month!  I'm not really sure what they're made of - they're pretty hard, yet slightly flexible too.  

  EH28461L

Not sure if it is a resin or a heavy plastic, but the fact that they are a little substantial adds some variety to what you can do with them.  Someone told me that she saw them mounted to a wall once - the back is slightly hollow, so you can sort of hook them into a screw or hook on the wall, and hang something from them, like a sign, a scarf, or ornament.  

EH28461backL

You can set one on a shelf as a decorative accent, or you can place it palm up and put something nestled in it.  Comes in either black or silver, and is covered in super-fine sparkly glitter.  They look really shriveled and sinewy, and were slightly creepy to open up, but the glitter, as it always does, makes everything all better. :)  You can pick up your own hand here.

It's kind of fun thinking of all the creative things you can do with these hands - what can you come up with??

We are SO excited to be able to offer the incomparable Woof & Poof products for sale! We've had these in our physical storefront, but never managed to get them online because they sold SO fast in the store. So, why do we think these are so great?

Firstly, they're handmade here in the USA. They're extremely high quality, with beautiful fabrics and lovely details.

Secondly, they're fun, and cute, and beautiful. They are great sitting on their own, or as part of a vignette.

Introducing Hoot-N-Hollar by Lori Mitchell!

This year, one of the many new pieces that artist Lori Mitchell has created (produced by ESC & Company) is called "Hoot-N-Hollar". It is a sweet little boy dressed up as a fall owl! The colors are wonderful, and the details are - as always - fantastic. He's holding a pumpkin pail for trick-or-treating. His costume includes "owl feet" stockings, a multi-layered "feather" outfit, and a hood that has owl features.

Check out Lori Mitchell's Hoot-N-Hollar figurine at http://www.theweedpatchstore.com/hoot-n-hollar.html Lori Mitchell - Hoot-N-Hollar by ESC and Company Lori Mitchell - Hoot N Hollar by ESC and Company at The Weed Patch Lori Mitchell - Hoot and Hollar by ESC and Company at The Weed Patch Hoot-N-Hollar figurine by Lori Mitchell at The Weed Patch Hoot and Hollar figurine by Lori Mitchell at The Weed Patch Hoot N Hollar figurine by Lori Mitchell at The Weed Patch

Fall at The Weed Patch Country Store

Last week we received two full pallets of TAG Fall and Halloween - this was THE shipment we were waiting for to start the store conversion, so it was super great to have it show up! And BOY - Shauna and Janene worked their fingers to the bone pricing it all and working to convert the store over to the new season. And while all the displays aren't yet totally back together, it's looking GOOD (and we've ALREADY sold out of some things!!!).

A Photo Look at Fall & Halloween 2011

The store has been converted to Fall and Halloween - there's still so much coming, and lots more to do, but you may never notice that with everything that's out and up to look at!  We have more Fall and Halloween then we have had for a very long time - if ever - and it's already selling out!  Here's some photos we snapped so that you can see it all!

A Little Bit of Falloween at The Weed Patch for 2010

Yep.  Pretty much the title says it all, I think.  These are some photos of the store - well, mostly Fall and Halloween displays, with a couple of new Park Designs displays thrown in.  We really have some great product, and the photos just can't seem to convey the magical feeling you get when you visit the store - but hopefully, for those of our fantastic customers that don't live in the area, this will still be interesting and fun. :)

                                     

Pumpkin Cookies to DIE for!

From the kitchen of Esther Cunningham, these Pumpkin Spice cookies are simply to die for.  Good thing it’s Halloween Season!


Ingredients:

2 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1 tsp baking powder
1 tsp baking soda
2 tsp ground cinnamon
1/2 tsp ground nutmeg
1/2 tsp ground cloves
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 cup butter, softened
1 1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 cup canned pumpkin puree
1 eggs
1 tsp vanilla extract

Combine flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, ground cloves, and salt.

In a medium bowl, cream together the butter and sugar.  Add pumpkin, egg, and 1 tsp vanilla to butter mixture, and beat until creamy.  Mix in dry ingredients.  Drop on cookie sheet by tablespoonfuls, flatten slightly.

Bake for 15 - 20 minutes in preheated 350F oven.  Cool cookies, then drizzle glaze with fork.

Glaze: Combine confectioners’ sugar, milk, butter, and vanilla.  Add milk as needed to achieve drizzling consistency.

PLEASE NOTE:  These ARE the cookies that we had at the Harvest Festival this last year - the ones that we went through 300+ in a day and a half (and that's only 'cause we brought the second batch in the next day.... Enjoy!
