Christmas already?!  Kick It Off In Style at Red Barn Mercantile’s Annual Holiday Unveiling

I swear the older I get the faster the time goes. How is it almost Christmas already?! You’d think Christmas wouldn’t be that sneaky anymore – particularly since we are thinking about it pretty much all year – but it is. The last thing I remember is July. Everything since has been a blur.  Don’t get me wrong, I’m certainly not complaining. I enjoy Christmas and look forward to it every year. Even after 16 years in retail! The thing we love the most about the season is kicking it off with our annual Holiday Unveiling:

This year we are slinging open the doors to our winter wonderland at 6 p.m. on November 2.  Michele from Meant To Be Calligraphy will be back with a new party favor trick that we are extremely excited about.  There will be 12 trees – yes 12!! – dripping with ornaments in your favorite themes. We heard you last year and this year we are bringing back all the yummy goodness AND bubbly spirits. There will be the usual discounts of up to 30% off everything in the store. And, new this year, Penny Post will be open as well, with a few snacks of their own and the same potential discounts.  

It's honestly my favorite night of the year.  I hope you can join us for the festivities. If you can only be there in spirit, then be sure to shop online at both websites to see the entire selection and save a little money for the holidays: RedBarnMercantile.com and ShopPennyPost.com.

P.S. Our friends at Patina Polished Living are also having their holiday unveiling on November 2, so you get a two for one this year.  Be sure to stop by both and get a jump start on the holidays!

Owner Amy Rutherford started Red Barn because she wanted to deliver a service — to provide both old and new in one place. No longer will busy shoppers be limited to reproductions or forced to shop multiple flea markets for the look or gifts they want. The trick in blending old and new, vintage and modern, classic and quirky, is balance. And Amy’s knack for mixing rustic antiques with urban chic has created a look that is both fresh and familiar.

Located in the heart of Old Town Alexandria, Virginia, Penny Post is an independent boutique specializing in custom stationery and wedding invitations. Inspired by the art of personal correspondence, the power of handwritten notes, and the smell of freshly printed stationery, we surround ourselves with quirky, hilarious, and classically beautiful things to make life a little brighter.
