Twig Christmas Show

After our chaotic week we still pulled it together to get our Christmas show ready. We have learned to let go of some of the details we agonize  over, knowing there are things that are much more important. So Friday we will have our Christmas show, it might be a little less perfect than we want,  however we will have our children healthy & whole. What more could we ask for.

Please join us for our Christmas show! 
The festivities start Friday Dec. 3rd 10:00 - 7:00 & go through Sat. Dec. 4th. 10:00 - 5:00. We will have our cupboards full of treasures, treats, stockings, wreaths, garlands, soaps & sachets, snowmen, ornaments & goodies to taste. 

Pick out a special gift, choose something for you Christmas table or take a peek at our sweet items for the children on your list from our Mother Hen collection.
Visit the "Barn" at Glory Days Antiques
and see what Twig has in store for your Christmas celebrations.

Angels Abound !!

We have great cause to stop & thank God for His protection.

As we wake up Wednesday morning we  know many awake to unbearable grief & pain. This day we wake to great joy knowing that in a split second our lives could have been changed forever. 
These pictures are of the vehicle after the Tuesday night crash with Kathy, her children, & my Hannah. Another car ran a stop sign at 55 mph and t-boned them. They spun several times, taking out a large light pole & tree. It was a rainy, muddy, chaotic scene. The children terrified not to mention Kathy.  The car hit the drivers side where Kathy was driving  & Hannah sitting in passenger seat behind her. Jaws of life were used to get everyone out. All occupants left hospital later that evening with minor injuries. A true miracle!!!

"For He will command His angels 
concerning you to guard you in all your ways"

Psalm 91:11

Monday At Twig

Part of our decision to take a space inside an antique "mall" stemmed from the fact that we didn't have to man the shop 24/7. As much as we love our friends & customers we know our families need us first. There will be days you won't find us at Twig. Those are the days we are transporting kids, teaching math, crafting with our little ones & dining with our men. The job as wife & mother will always be our God given priority. Our passion outside of that role is an added bonus. We get to create, design, dream & utilize the other gifts God has given us. We want balance & perspective in all areas of our life.
So for the next year we will be at Twig when time & family allow. Weekends you will often find us with various little ones at the shop.
But as I said I am certain there will be times you will miss us, please email us on our blog for questions or special orders. We will generally answer quickly & try and help you as much as we can.
It is our prayer that this next adventure blesses others & glorifies God.
Have a great Monday !
K & K

Christmas at Twig



If you had asked us Thursday morning we would have told you not to expect our best. But true to both our styles we could not give you anything we weren't proud of.
Well our efforts certainly were worth it. Twig is abundantly filled with treasures new & old. The rosehip wreaths are stunning & ready to go home (they are selling quickly) , the snowmen are nestled among the boughs of evergreens & holly. The soaps & sachets  a fragrant treat.  Dwarf boxwoods peak out of their burlap homes & the stacks of white stoneware glisten in their simple beauty.
We have filled, stuffed, arranged & hand-crafted an array of beautiful things, we are excited to have our customers see this incredible space.
Come to the "Barn" at Glory Days Antiques and help us celebrate this  season of  Joy as we  commemorate the birth of our Saviour.
