At long last...my first blog!

Unlike my first website for Blackstone's that I had up and running within weeks, my first blog has taken me nearly six months to bring to life!  Whew!  I did it, together with a revision to our store website - that now includes online shopping - and many long hours spent working at the shop with my fellow co-owner Mark.  Life as an independent shop owner this year has certainly kept me (us) on my toes.  Hosting events have been one of our key successes starting with WGBH's Brass Sisters - Marilyn and Sheila Brass for a double booked back to back Saturday book signing and bake-off competition.  Visit our website to learn more about this hugely popular event - www.blackstonesbeaconhill.com.

With the holidays fast approaching our friends the Brass Sisters are coming back again to share some wonderful heirloom recipes from their two cookbooks - HEIRLOOM COOKING and HEIRLOOM BAKING.   I hope you can join us for this meet the authors event on Saturday, November 21st from 11am to 2pm.

Stay tuned for more details about our upcoming Fourth Annual 12-Days of Christmas Celebration that includes for a third year, folk artist and children's book illustrator/author Will Moses!
