Sip 'n See

Confessions of a Pioneer Woman is a very popular blog. Ree posts the best recipes, most beautiful photos, she's funny and she lives on a ranch. Many of you probably read her blog, she gets thousands of comments. Recently Ree wrote about a Sip 'n See. In the South, women get together and sip (tea, punch, wine or whatever) and see either a new baby, old friends, someone's redecorated room etc. I thought, "Ooooh, I want a Sip 'n See of my own." Then it dawned on me, I have one planned! Already!
Thursday evening the Lynden Merchants have their stores open for a holiday shopping night. The Lynden Pioneer Museum Gift Shop is open until 8:00 p.m. And y'all are invited. And Starbucks is coming with something to sip. And I have lots of new Christmas inventory to see. And Jerrie is wrapping gifts for y'all! A Sip 'n See! Oh, and I'm baking. And Starbucks is bringing the...drumroll...because now the holidays may begin...Cranberry Bliss Bars!

Cute gifts and luggage tags for the traveler on your list.
Stocking stuffers!
The wall o' Legos and Playmobil for the kids.
And my new favorite, Swaps, little watches with a choice of bands. Also, photo charms. I love this line.
Oh and at seven the museum is featuring Tams Alan. Tams will be showing us how to set a table for 12 courses, just like Victorian times. And the manners to go with the dinner. She puts on a nice program.

I wish I could come! Please post pictures afterward too.

I am in the process of planning a Sip 'n See for a friend who just adopted a baby boy. Trying to find a date that works with four hostesses and the guest of honor between now and Christmas is a bit tricky!

Hi Tami,
Just wanted you to know... I love your blog! AND: I'm coming to the open house AND: I'm bringing Lorriane my boss's wife. She is nw to Lynden and also has a grandson who is 3. Won't she be amazed to see all of your great gifts? Can't wait!! I've had new blogs and no one has commented. I'm sad~

Jerrie is wrapping. You are so funny...Do you try to be funny or does it come naturally?

Looking forward to tomorrow night. I love to wear my apron! :)
