Contessa’s – Open by Appointment on Tuesday’s

Contessa’s is open by appointment every Tuesday from Noon to
6 pm. All you need to do is call ahead and set a time. Basically the shop is all yours when you come by. It’s like personal shopping just for you.

 

Happy Monday!!

It’s Monday and we are open from Noon to 6 p.m. In between rain drops some of our regulars have stopped by to purchase gifts. We love Mondays in the shop. Monday’s always seem to bring in new faces. Our post office customers like to stop in too. We are here moving and fixing and happy to see you.   Stop in if you are out and about.

Mother Nature’s Crazy Amaryllis

Here is a pic of an Amaryllis plant we have in the shop today.  One week ago it had a stalk with three blooms.  Yesterday the second stalk bloomed and this morning a second flower opened on the same stalk.  We can’t figure out this plant.  She normally blooms in February.  Can you explain it?

 

Once she stops blooming we will cut her back, add a little fresh dirt on top and put her out in our garden to grow green leaves. Then in late October we will once again bring her in, cut her back, water and hope for the best.  She should bloom in Dec or Jan,  during the Holiday season. Our crazy weather year may have her in a state of being very mixed up.  We don’t actually know how else to explain it.

Happy Father’s Day

We water and sweep every morning at Contessa’s and today many Dad’s came by. Some pushing strollers, some walking the dog and the kids, some going to Brunch with the family, and some just taking an early morning walk. Happy Father’s Day to all. Enjoy your day!
