hether honoring a long standing tradition or starting anew, The Briar Patch captures the holiday spirit with considerably more than a festive view. Focus on being a seasonal destination makes the Thornhurst Nurseries location lend an ideal atmosphere as guests stroll along the path past rows of wreaths and Christmas trees. Upon arriving at the rustic shop, an immeasurable amount of holiday cheer, that’s lasted more than 20 years, has friends and families returning to buy gifts and to see the sights. “Born from our love of the Christmas spirit dedicated to the child in all of us,” reads the plaque outside the quaint cabin doorway.
Step inside and senses arise with tempting aromatic hints of cinnamon and vanilla. Eyes instantly go wide capturing a magnificently restored sleigh surrounded by an array of folk art inspired creations. Brilliant gifts come to life with candles, boutique buys and clever home decor items tastefully aligned making this a festive find. Lastly, let’s not forget great ganders like “The Deep Woods Santa.” Covered in corduroy from head-to-toe, this holiday figure shares hearty ho-ho-ho’s wherever he goes. Igniting shrieks of delight from old and young alike this time of year...come one...come all to experience The Briar Patch cheer.

This Week’s
FESTIVEfinds The Shoppes at
American Candle TANNERSVILLE
T
he Shoppes at American Candle is a festive find offering an opportunity to gather the gift of fine jewelry whether it be for her, him or we. Location plays a part in this convenience-minded inspiration. Merely minutes off Interstate 80 with enough crowd separation, has opportunity knocking for a non-elbow-to-elbow go if thinking of a gift shopping situation. Part two in this view caters to finding just the right collection. As men’s jewelry ideas continue to be an increasingly popular option; the Tannersville store introduces a new line—INOX. This selection also blends buys for either girls or guys with classic, contemporary and alternative appeal charms and bands. You better-watch-out, as Bering also brings men’s and women’s time-piece treasures together; while Forever in My Heart has personalized bracelets and necklaces with hundreds of charms for necks and those arms. Keeping on track with ways to make them react, has Ronaldo Designer
Jewelry another new one on the scene. Handmade in the USA, this exciting line continues inspiring “bling” to everything about holiday giving. Can’t decide? Of course gift cards can oblige those who prefer to pick out their own thing with The Shoppes at American Candle good-to-go before or after those holidays ho-ho-ho’s.
