It has put me in the mood for marshmallows...

Full Assortment of Candles
Don't you love it when your done unloading the groceries and the pantry is full? 
Well the same feeling comes over me when I order candles and every scent and color I requested arrives at once. 
A full selection to choose from and everything is organized. Ahh, a job well done.

An assortment of perfume bottles arrived and we paired them up with our own Classic HiHo. 
With teens in the house, I think it will be a while before my personal care products at the house will be making a pretty statement in the bath....However arranging them at the store gave me fond memories of days gone by. ( Quiet baths and clean folded towels, Ha!)
Of course I have the shower gel, the brown sugar scrub and the shea butter, they just go really quickly....teens know a good thing when they see it. Hey, if they are worth it, you are too...Stop in and treat yourself to one of these delightful products.

June Bride?
With the month of June's arrival, I was motivated to set the mood in our Haute' Haven room. Anyone familiar with HiHo knows I love layering. 
Stacking these two tables and piling on the two sets of china, had me smiling all day.
These very popular mini domed cake stands, work great as a lift for the cup/saucer and a cover for your favorite dessert. Nothing wrong with splitting the set.
Pulling a tea cart or a smaller table right up to the dinning table gives you a chance to extend the theme of the table and have more space for serving.Stacking these two tables and piling on the two sets of china, had me smiling all day.These very popular mini domed cake stands, work great as a lift for the cup/saucer and a cover for your favorite dessert.

Add the unexpected, the cloth rose petals and the candle favors, will make your guests feel special. You don't need an special occasion to enjoy entertaining.
Wine Windows
In celebration of our new association with the wine trail, the windows got a makeover.
You can see the differance a few short weeks makes with the flower boxes.
Tennis anyone?

A New Friend and New Merchandise
You know when you meet someone and it just clicks? Last week a person fitting that description walked into HiHo.
Joanne Michaels, talented author, editorial consultant, Woodstock NY resident and just plain interesting person stopped in to tell me about her books. Yes, of course we now sell them at HiHo.
This first book we are now selling is described as....Nearly 100 photographs lavishly display the seasonal changes and varied terrain of the Hudson River Valley, from covered bridges to lighthouses, from ice climbers to bucolic vistas; there are images here for every set of eyes. The spectacular photographs are gracefully complemented by rich text.
The second book, Adirondack High is a celebration of America's first wilderness, the Adirondack Park, created in 1892 out of a patchwork of public and private lands. Roughly the size of the state of Vermont, the park has neither an entrance gate nor an admission fee, and contains six million acres seamed with more than 2000 miles of trails—the nation's largest trail system. There are thousands of lakes, 1800 miles of rivers, the High Peaks (46 mountains more than 4000 feet high), countless trees, and rare vegetation that thrive under adverse conditions. 
The third book, is a book we all need tucked in our glove compartments....Rich with historical and cultural attractions, the Hudson Valley and Catskills region is also a burgeoning mecca for travelers seeking outdoor adventure and family fun; five-star dining and the best American cuisine using the freshest locally grown produce; luxurious resorts, cozy bed & breakfasts and inns; as well as galleries, antiques shops, wineries, farm stands, hiking and bike trails, and places to kayak and canoe. With detailed maps and hundreds of honest reviews of accommodations, eateries and activities to appeal to independent travelers and those seeking value for money, this guide casts a wide net to cull the best this dynamic region has to offer.

Not available yet, however Joanne had a copy of the cover sleeve for me to photograph.
This fascinating portrait of 44 farms from Westchester to Albany unfolds tales of triumph over the elements and the economy. A colorful collection of maverick entrepreneurs reveals their life stories, accompanied by striking images, taking the reader on an amazing journey through the heart of the Hudson Valley.
Joanne promises a book signing in August. I promise to make sure you all have plenty of notice to mark your calendar to meet this extraordinary woman.
