Looking for stocking stuffers?
Just a reminder that we have lots of great merchandise in our museum store perfect for stocking stuffers, unique gifts, and that "difficult-to-buy-for" relative. From "old-tyme" penny candy (15 cents now--inflation, you know) to books with picturesque photos of Fort Worth, we've got something for everyone! The store is open any time we are, so come on by...
Also, we can't help but notice that our new backpacks are a lovely shade of TCU purple. What a great fan gift for only $2.95!
We will be closed December 24-January 1, so stop by today!
T'was a woodworker's shop, it was...
It occurred to us that we didn't share photos of the interior of the "final product" of the Howard project. We hesitate to use the word "final," since it's still very much a work in progress (i.e. more tools, a tool cabinet, etc.). Regardless, we wanted to share! Here you are!
Note: the official dedication is slated for May 2010. Stay tuned for more details!
How does your garden grow?
As many of you know, we are very fortunate to have gifted fire pit and hearth cooks on staff here at the Village. And if you read this blog regularly, you also know that we are fortunate to have gifted gardeners to tend our beautiful herb garden.
A couple of weeks ago, these talents collided (in a harmless way, of course). Village interpreter Fred and his wife Gail, a volunteer interpreter and member of the Greater Fort Worth Herb Society, demonstrated the use of herbs in dutch oven cooking. Their captive audience was none other than Herb Society members themselves! We love it when a good collaboration comes together!
There were no leftovers, so we're assuming the food was VERY TASTY as usual. Thanks Fred and Gail!
