Sample the wines. Spend the night in a cozy lodging property overlooking unique NH views.

Camille and I want to remind you all that we will be participating in the NH Open Doors Studio Tour this weekend, Saturday November 5, and Sunday the 6th. The pewtershop will be open from 9 am – 5 pm both days. I’ll be metal spinning too, so newcomers will have a chance to see a dying art form in person.

January Blues

Gibson Family Snowshoes January seems to be flying by and that is not a bad thing. With near record amounts of snow in N.H. in January coupled with some VERY cold sub-zero days, one can’t help but begin to count the number of days until Spring(50+).

Post Christmas time off with my family was restorative and I am now rebuilding inventory and working on new designs for 2011. I usually introduce new product designs in early Spring so stay tuned in to the newsletters.

Summer 2010 in Hillsboro: So Much To Do!

Planning Your Summer Activities?

Think about a visit to Hillsborough this summer for one of our three signature events:

The 6th Annual Spring into Summer Faire happens right here in the Center June 12 & 13. Sponsored by the Hillsborough Area Artisans, a group of artists and crafts people that represent just a sampling of the wealth of talent and creativity found in the area, and from surrounding communities.

The Hillsborough Balloon Festival and Fair (Thursday through Sunday, July 8-11) has become a major four day event, including balloon launches, Fireman’s Muster, truck and tractor pulls, Carnival Midway, and new this year a team of Sky Divers.

Our Second Annual Living History Event (Saturday & Sunday, August
21 & 22) offers a chance to interact with period artisans, musicians, reenacts, historical figures, dancers, crafters, children’s activities and more. I’ll be dressed as the earliest
pewterers might have been, offering demonstrations through the weekend.

Come for a weekend and explore Hillsborough’s many small town attractions. Feel free to call me for details about best places to stay and other things to do in the area.
