We carry over a thousand exquisite European glass ornaments and a wide assortment of handcrafted smokers, nutcrackers and pyramids from the Erzgebirge region of Germany. We also have many fine Swiss music boxes, Black Forest cuckoo clocks and a variety of distinctive gift ideas and decorations from many local artisans for the holiday season. All of our items either come from Europe or are made by local New England craftsmen. We also have a nice selection of potted balsam fir, blue spruce and nursery grown mountain laurel at the shop for sale.

While we will ship many of our decorative holiday items anywhere in the country, we will be glad to have you visit and enjoy one of the best views in the White Mountains. We will have a fresh cup of coffee or hot cider for you when you visit us Thanksgiving through Christmas Eve.

Did you know? "Christmas tree farming is a good land conservation measure, combining elements of soil retention, water shed protection, forestry management and wildlife improvement. Christmas trees are a natural, living resource that helps to provide a healthier environment by releasing large amounts of oxygen into the atmosphere. Christmas trees have year round color and fresh fragrance that creates a natural living beauty. The variations in size and texture supply our landscape with attractive visual interest and appeal.

"Christmas tree farms re-establish the traditions of families choosing and cutting their own tree. This custom encourages an appreciation and respect for nature and our natural recourses. Trimming the Christmas tree brings many families together each holiday season for a special time of warmth and sharing. The Christmas tree is a symbol of family unity." --Thomas J. Vilsack, Governor of Iowa
