Old Webster Christmas Open House

It was so much fun! Seeing family, friends, and making new friends...it was just the best!

We could not have asked for a more beautiful day! It was perfect!

For all of you who came to The Swan Cottage on November 14th, we hope you had a good time! We thank everyone who stopped by and hope you enjoyed your visit with us at The Swan Cottage and also enjoyed shopping around Old Webster, Santa, carolers, carriage rides and all of the other fun that was around the town.

For those who couldn't make it, come visit us! Lots of Christmas cheer and fun is still to come! Old Webster and Old Orchard will have a Cookie Walk on December 4th. More to come soon..

We tried to guess how many people walked through our cottage and we are thinking it had to be over 300! We were not real sure what to expect but we surely know now! We are already planning for next year to make your shopping experience the best!

As promised, here are some pictures.



























Isn't she cute? She was so lucky to get this shabby children's table and chair set!


The purchase of the day! She was so excited to get these retro candles!


Mmmm..getting married? Having fun with a neat vintage wedding veil.

Feature on "Show Me St. Louis" on KSDK Channel 5

When Julie called from Channel 5 last Friday saying they wanted to feature us on the Show Me St. Louis show, we couldn't think of anything else...Was the shoppe in order...Did it looks nice...Well of course it did cause we worked all weekend getting it all ready with new things and of course Christmas!!

Chris did such a great job on all the florals for wreaths, outside pots, coach lamps, and indoor florals. Everything looks so pretty. You really need to come see it!

So today we made it through the interview, video taping and pictures!

It was exciting but we were of course a little nervous...not really knowing what to expect. But Julie was so nice! She really made us feel at ease.

So now we wait until tomorrow to see ourselves on Show Me St. Louis at 3:00.

Do you think this makes us television stars? :)

Mmm...probably not. I think the last time we were on TV was long long time ago on Romper Room, Texas Bruce or maybe Captain 11's Showboat. Oh my, are we old!!

We will post a link to the video after it airs so everyone can view!
