Annual Chocolate Tasting, 2014

If you missed this tasty event last year - or if you showed up late (and thus missed it, because attendance was so high) - you definitely don't want to miss this year's event! Coming up in one week, on Saturday February 8, 2014 from 2pm - 6pm.

Come sample chocolate treats throughout many of the shops in Bothell's Country Village. Many shops will have the chocolate that they are sampling for sale, should you be so inclined. Here at The Weed Patch, we will be sampling our fantastic fudge, our phenominal Abdallah Chocolates, and maybe even something more!

Come by, say hello, indulge just a little, and take home some yumminess!

Here Comes Santa Clause, 2013!

Experience the magical arrival of Santa at 7pm. A traditional tree lighting follows his arrival, heralded by our own Town Crier. The Village will be decorated with thousands of twinkling lights and whimsical, animated light displays featuring a 40’ sea serpent, fiddling pig, giant dragonfly, marching ducks and more!

Complimentary hot-roasted chestnuts will be served at 4pm while supplies last, and local groups will perform holiday-themed music on the stage throughout the day. This event is free and open to the public. Train rides and pony rides are available for a nominal fee.

Introducing the Country Village Home Decor Group!

We're SUPER excited to be a part of the brand new Country Village Home Decor Group (visit our Facebook Page: http://www.facebook.com/countryvillagehomedecor), here at Country Village Shops in Bothell, Washington.

Earlier this year, a couple of the shops and businesses here were discussing some options to help let the world know about all the amazing shops that are located here in Country Village.  After all, there are over 50 unique businesses (close to 40 of them are retail shops), and we have one of the strongest groupings of Home Decor shops in the greater Seattle / Mill Creek / Eastside (Kirkland, Redmond, Bellevue, Woodinville) / Lynnwood areas - there's actually twelve shops all with a primary focus on home decor and interior design!

These couple of shops started spreading the word, and pretty soon the Home Decor Group had our very first meeting.  Since then, we've released our own Facebook Page, coordinated the ongoing March Home Decor Month, we're working to host a large group of women for our April Ladies Night Out from a local women's club, and we're all working together to bring ourselves to the attention of the World At Large.

If you're not on Facebook, we're in the process of getting a web presence up and running (hopefully as a sub-category on the main countryvillagebothell.com website).  We're working on a Google+ account, as well as a Pinterest account; all of our video projects that we're working on will be released under the main Country Village Bothell's YouTube channel.

Here's a list of the currently participating shops (starting with us, of course!  The rest are in alphabetical order...)

Featured Shop: Rust N' Roses Antiques

Allow us the great pleasure of introducing you to Rust N Roses Antiques located on the far corner of Country Village (it's TOTALLY worth the short walk up there!). Owners Jeanette Crooks & Colleen Cole describe themselves this way (on their Facebook Page):

"We are two middle aged picker chicks that have a knack for selling antiques and other fine vintage junque.

We carry a variety of vintage items from rustic to classy. Vintage jewelry, country kitchen decor. You name it, probably have it! And if we don't, we can find it! We even have a mantiques cabinet filled with tons of cool old guy stuff! Visit our seasonal Vintage Christmas shop with items you may remember from your childhood."

For lots of GREAT information about them, be sure to check out their website at http://www.rustnrosesantiques.com/; also, check them out on Facebook!  We hope you'll be inspired to check them out - we're pretty darn sure you'll be glad you did. In the meantime, here's a bunch of photos from their shop...but even before that, here's their shiny new TV spot (it has a few seconds of empty black at the start, so be patient...)
