Past Weekend was Smithville. Coming up - Blues & Wine Festival!


It may have been a drizzly, overcast weekend, but things were hopping in Historic Smithville. If you've never been there, you really should stop by. There are dozens of charming shops with unique treasures hidden in every corner. I recommend the Chai Lattes at the Cooks Corner. Make sure to stop by Evermore Herb Farm. That's a new shop that has a terrific selection of cooking, health and garden herbs - including some lovely teas! Smithville is a day long adventure well worth the trip - even if there isn't a craft fair taking place!

This coming weekend, May 23 & 24th, is the Blues & Wine Festival on the incredible Natirar Park grounds in Peapack/Gladstone.

Amid the over 20 New Jersey vineyards will be dozens of crafters displaying their wares - including Celtic Chairde Creations! And you'll hear the amazing Craig Thatcher Band and blues guitarists Matt O'Kee. The wine festivals, sponsored by The Garden State Wine Growers Association, are always fun. The wine festival runs from noon to 5 pm both days. We hope you'll stop by and visit us and the sample the wonderful wines from New Jersey's vineyards.
