Books have arrived at Contessa’s. Among them for children: Walk the Dog, Penguins Everywhere and Stella Is A Star. We also now feature Bibs to go.  For our adult readers,  Slow Cooker and Casseroles were a hit last year. If you are inclined to cook,  these are a must have.  And they make a great gift for the newlyweds.  Those fall cozy suppers will benefit from these repeat titles.  Stonewall Kitchen’s “breakfasts”  is also available now.

Blue Crab Bay Co / Bay Beyond, Inc. has arrived at Contessa’s. We sampled this appetizer line at the New York Gift Show in August and decided it’s a great ‘edible’ edition for our gift giving customers. You have to try “Sting Ray” the scrumptious Bloody Mary Mix. It was voted by the New York Times as winning top honors in the blind test taste of eight Bloody Mary Mixers.  Included in the line is a Party Pack, a Dip assortment of clam, crab and shrimp kits and a Wild Salmon Spread kit. If you like crunchies, try our Sea Salt Nuts and the  Crab House Crunch. Tastings will be scheduled on Sundays in October from 1 to 2 p.m. 

We will send out reminders about our tastings.

Garden Smiles is a hand-carved stone garden adornment created by George Carruth of Waterville, Ohio. This is Mr. Carruth’s signature piece and is signed on the back.  You will have Garden Smiles for many years and the avarage life of one of his  stone carvings is over 20 years.  The perfect gift for that friend/gardener that is a little hard to buy for.  They will love this piece.  Contessa’s has a catalog in the shop with the entire Carruth collection.  We are happy to place special orders for any of the pieces in the collection and Carruth offers drop-ship service to anywhere in the USA.  Please stop by and browse the catalog.
