Today I want to spotlight two of my friends, Denise Amat and Francie Hall. They will both be displaying their creations at our Mountaintop Christmas sale on July 19th, from 10:00 until 5:00.

Denise will be offering some of her beautiful paintings.

I'm sure you recognize the subject matter for this painting. I'm lucky enough to be able to look out my window and see Grandfather Mountain. Below you will see a few more of the wonderful paintings that will be available at our sale.

Whether you are from the mountains or the coast, you can find a beautiful  painting that will suit your desires.

This is a delightful book written by Francie Hall. Laced throughout the litany of letters in this celebratory alphabet book is the meaning of Christmas with an Appalachian twist. Exploring the whimsy and worship of Yuletide in the mountains, each letter captures a glimpse of the traditions, food, and frolicking shared by family and friends. Incorporating a legend about the animals around the manger, a program with angels announcing God's glory, and choirs softly singing carols, this A-to-Z book will become a new Christmas tradition for families that gather around the tree each December.

Be sure to mark your calendars and stay tuned for future updates.
