The grave blanket price lists were mailed out yesterday, so watch your mail for your copy.  We have kept the prices the same as last year– we know you don’t need any more price increases than you’ve already had to absorb! 

If you have ordered from us in the past year or two and don’t get your price list/order form in the next few days, please give us a call because that probably means we’ve lost your contact information somehow.  (Have you moved in the last year or two?) We will gladly send you a copy by mail or fax, or take your order by phone.  Most of the cemeteries have a rule that we cannot begin placement of blankets until the 15th of November, but we’ll begin making them this weekend and your early order will move you up in the queue. 

Don’t forget, in addition to the standard blankets and pillows with poly flowers and a weatherproof poly bow, we also make a fancier one with silks and a weatherproof velvet bow, in traditional colors or non-traditional colors as available. Your price list/order form will give you the prices for a simple substitution, or you may call for a custom quote.  We have some customers who do a yearly order with dried flowers and additions that make a truly unique and tasteful memorial.  We can work with you to create a  tribute for the outdoorsman or nature lover, for instance, or other special interest designs.

One more day of October? How did that happen? Where did the month go?

November means the beginning of our preparations for the Holiday season.  The greens for our grave blankets will arrive next week, and we’ll begin making blankets and pillows for the weekend of our Holiday Open House on November 14th and 15th.

We’re beginning to change the Gift Shop over from fall to Christmas.  We’ll be in full Holiday mode by the Open House.  Stop in and have a cookie and some punch or coffee, and get a jump start on your decorating and gift shopping.

The happy little elves are beginning to transform the gift shop to its Christmas glory.  We hate to overlap the seasons so much, but the transformation takes a while to achieve and people keep shopping earlier and earlier, so we are forced to have Halloween, fall and Thanksgiving all smooshed together for a few weeks. 

Grave blanket letters are going out in a week or so– watch your mail for an order blank if you’ve ordered with us before.  You can order by mail, phone or fax as usual.
