Working on packing up The Gaebler Café's amazing hot cocoa mix!!! It'll be available in the café TONIGHT!!!

The 6oz jars are ready to go. The 10oz vintage jars are giving me some grief and not wanting to properly seal, so we'll see.

Only a few more days of Christmas at the Village: Billie Creek. Visit 4-8pm. See Santa on Friday AND Saturday this weekend. Visit with TWO blacksmiths on Saturday. The cafe will be OPEN on Monday the 23rd.

The village closes after December 23rd for the season. We'll be back in February to celebrate Parke County Maple Syrup Fair.

Smudge restock!!! We now have lotions back in stock and a larger variety of bar soaps. My favorite is the popular Gardner's hand soap with ground pumice, poppy seeds, and apricot kernels in it. A perfect stocking stuffer for those who love to garden! 🎁

Smudge is based out of Iowa and curates their soaps, candles, and lotions to evoke and improve the "mood" of the name. I keep a car diffuser of Calm on my rear view mirror!

Only a few more days to shop!!! Visit 4-8pm each night through Dec 23rd. So much to see, Santa (Friday AND Saturday), our blacksmiths (Friday AND Saturday) The Gaebler Café, and the General Store!!!
