Ok, this has nothing to do with stamping, but this is another endeavor of mine. I met these wonderful people while I was still working for Coldwater Creek. The company was already going out of business and selling everything, including all fixtures and Joy and Colin Scott came into the store to shop and see what bargains they could get, not realizing EVERYTHING was on sale. So the long and short of it was they were in the process of setting up a gift shop at their alpaca farm. They bought pretty much everything they needed to set up their store from Coldwater Creek! I loved the decor they store had. It made you feel you were going over to a friends house and picking out of their closet! So Joy and Colin have me helping them out with getting their store up and running! How much fun is that!

| This is the new gift shop |
We will be having a Grand Opening this weekend, November 22-23, from 10am-4pm. If you would like to get something special and unique, this is a wonderful place to pick it up. The name of the farm is
Highland Airs Alpaca Ranch I've been updating their website and getting everything ready for the big event. If you're going to be around the northern New Jersey area, you'll be delighted you stopped by. In addition to the gift shop, they'll have a couple of their alpacas available for the public to get to know. They are a very gentle animal and easy to care for. If you don't know anything about alpacas, their fiber is similar to sheep's wool, however it's hypoallergenic, so it won't give you that itch you might get from wool. It's also, lighter and warmer then wool. Alpacas have been around for thousands of years and were initially imported from Peru in 1987 and have been growing in popularity ever since. Here are some of the alpacas from their herd. Oh, no pets please!
We'll have a variety of items for sale, from the luxurious to the inexpensive. Here are a few items available.
This is a beautiful and ever so soft and warm ladies coat made out of alpaca fiber. Next we have some men's argyle socks, again made from alpaca fiber. We do have a variety of socks to choose from. These socks will keep your feet warm all winter!
Who wouldn't love to wear this cardigan, it's reversible. Charcoal grey and turquoise and so soft and warm.
Who could resist these adorable teddy bears. They come in a variety of sizes and colors and made from alpaca fibers. This is a gift that will last for years to come!
Eventually I'll even have some hand stamped alpaca cards! So I hope to see you this weekend!
Happy Stamping!
