Hello,

I know its Monday and not Wednesday but I popped some of my home grown organic popcorn on Friday and its ready! I just had to tell you all! So if you purchased decorative strings of cobs from me earlier you can shell it off the cobs and pop it now. Life just doesn't get any better than sharing a bowl of freshly popped, buttered popcorn with friends and family! Its excellent!

Tis the Season! Our holiday dress is on and its exquisite, beautiful, wonderful!
