It's August!

I don't know about where you live, but here in the Ozarks, it is actually milder than July which is totally weird! Still hot, but not as bad. But in the Prairie Pearl work room, Christmas is in the works. Coming up with some new winter products like soup and mulling spices for wine, cider or just giving your home that warm cozy feeling around the holidays. Will also be adding some gift baskets ideas that you can buy as is, or request a custom made one by a simple phone call or email and I will have it for you to pick up at the Ozark Rag. I will also offer those gift baskets in the Prairie Pearl Shop on Etsy. That is just a hint of what is to come.

This week, Stitching 9 to 5 has joined Prairie Pearl at the Ozark Rag Craft Emporium in Branson West, MO with the cutest dolls I have ever seen. They all are slightly different with cute clothes and hair styles and color. Run over to the Ozark Rag Craft Emporium Facebook page, or Prairie Pearl or Stitching 9 to 5 and check out those dolls! There is also an adorable tooth fairy doll with a pocket to hide the tooth in.

One of my neighbors is in the process of developing a brochure! I've seen the first version and it is incredible! Now she is just waiting for me to produce some pictures for her. She is also going to help me decorate the Prairie Pearl/Stitching 9 to 5 craft booth. Together we have come up with some great ideas. I will post pictures once the final version of our little booth is accomplished.

This week's product highlight is... Celery Seed Dressing! Also one of my newer mix's that isn't available on Etsy yet, but will be added soon. This is a light dressing with a touch of sweetness that would be wonderful not only on just a plain salad, but what about a salad of baby spinach and sliced strawberries! It would also be wonderful in a potato salad. Mixed in while the potatoes are still a little bit warm so the flavor really gets into the salad. Mix in the rest of your favorite Potato Salad ingredients. Or, Mix the dry ingredients into Mayonnaise if you prefer a creamy Potato Salad. I haven't played around with this much yet so I am sure there are loads of other ideas for use. What ideas do you come up with when you think of Celery Seed Dressing? 

See you next week!!
