The Holidays are almost here!

It seems impossible that Christmas is only a couple of weeks away. However, as I sit here with my cat Phoebe next to me, a heating pad on my sore back and the full moon lighting up the ice covered tree branches I realize that all the signs are clear. The days are short, the list of to do’s is long, and I am making beds, getting ready for the kids and family to come home.

It has been a stressful fall for everyone worrying about the future, studying the past and trying to make sense out of how we got into such an economic mess.

Not surprisingly, our most popular plaque has been “It Is What It Is”. But as we look at what sayings people are buying, we find that everyone still wants to smile together and share their love for each other. It is a delight to read the messages we pass along from father to daughter, cousin to cousin, and friend to friend.

We are offfering FREE UPS Ground shipping for a few more days to help get those last minute purchases on time. Please take advantage, and have a happy holiday, whichever one you celebrate!

HOLIDAYS APPROACHING

We can feel the holidays approaching as people order plaques in larger quantities and reach deep into the variety to find exactly the right saying for someone. One of the new standouts is the Books and Cats plaque.

I got a new kitten about 5 months ago and I have to admit I had never expected to enjoy her so much. I was always a “dog person” so I think she behaves a little more like a dog than most cats. She comes when I call her name, although slowly, and she takes walks with me. So I guess I am pretty lucky.

When you are thinking about presents for this holiday season, don’t forget the pet section at Mountain Meadows.  We have something for dog lovers, cat lovers and even horse lovers. That’s a lot of lovers! Perhaps you should check out our “people” love section while you are at it!

At any rate, shop early and take advantage of our free shipping offer. Even in these rough economic times the future can look a lot rosier if you put a little humor into every day.

It’s cold up here in Vermont, I’m going to go stack some wood,

Holiday thank you gifts

Mountaine Meadows wall plaques make wonderful thank you gifts. We have lots of sayings to fit every situation. Show your family that you appreciate all the effort and good spirit of the holidays with a gift from Mountaine Meadows Pottery.

VALENTINE’S DAY

Mountaine Meadows is famous for sayings with just a little bite. Valentine’s Day is no exception.

For instance there is our most popular saying for true lovers:

“I love you more today than yesterday. Yesterday you really pissed me off.”

There are sayings for the more classic minded too:

“We may not have it all together but together we have it all.”

And the truly sentimental:

“If you live to be 100, I want to be 100 minus a day, so I never have to live without you.”
Enjoy my favorite holiday of the year and share your love with a smile.

Happy Valentine’s Day,

CHRISTMAS SEASON

This is by far the most exciting and fun Christmas season we have ever had! Every day people are coming to the website and choosing gifts, making saying suggestions, and taking advantage of the FREE plaque deal. I LOVE the FREE plaque deal, it’s great for everyone.
I chuckle every time someone orders a Normal Family saying, or My Granchild is a Dog. We are all in the midst of the “family circus”. It is a rollicking ride that is only more fun when we can share it online.
Please keep those saying suggestions coming. Mountaine Meadows is a reflection of your voices.

WISE WOMEN

I listen to the news of war and it makes me want to cry and I ask myself how does the world get seduced into war? Well, perhaps if the three wise men had been three wise women there would be PEACE ON EARTH
