Country Time Acres Blog

Well, it’s that time again, Christmas is just around the corner. This weekend I will be at the Ocean City, Maryland Convention Center for their three day gift show. Country Time Creations has a lot of new items for shoppers to enjoy. We still have all the great horse gifts and jewelry but, have added a ballet section. Our popular book and puzzle section has been expanded and we have some  awesome new towel designs. New to the racks are our hand designed hooded bath and swim towels for kids. They currently come  in three designs, hearts, horses and Sponge Bob. The event is for three days so, make sure you stop by and say hello while you load up on lots of great gifts for this year’s holiday giving.

Knights compete at the palace arena.

Don't forget to ride the elephant!

Terry and I took our first bike vacation this past weekend. It was just the two of us, our motorcycle and anything we could fit into our saddle bags. Our destination was the Pennsylvania Renaissance Faire held at the grounds of Mount Hope Winery in Manheim, PA.. The winery was established in 1980 and the grounds are indeed beautiful. I really enjoy seeing how everyone is dressed. Some people really get into the spirit of things and are having so much fun. This past weekend was pirate weekend and there was lots of cool costumes. There is plenty to do at the faire, lots of rides and games, plenty of plays to attend, a mud ring, belly dancers, Knights on beautiful horses, the Royal court and fantastic shopping! Of course, being on a motorcycle makes shopping less fun, no room for packages. Thanks goodness for shipping. For more information visit The Pennsylvania Renaissance Faire.

     After the festival we headed to Lancaster where we caught a play at the Rainbow Theatre, I think it was called “Uncle Chick’s Last Reguest”, or somehting like that. Anyway, it was pretty good.  I hope to return to the Lancaster area to do some Christmas shopping. It was a great weekend. Thank you for visiting.  I am sorry but, the comment box for this post is full.

The festival features more than 500 spectacular trees and wreaths.

 If your looking for a festival to put you in the Christmas mood, look no further. The Festival of Trees, sponsored by the Kennedy Krieger Children’s Hospital is spectacular!

The event raises funds for research, treatment, education and community programs. If your tired of boreing, hum drum festivals letting you down, this festival is worth the trip!
