Winter is here!



We're so excited to see snow on the ground! It gets us all thinking about gloves and hats and scarves....and we have many to choose from at Alpaca Country! From local to co-op to various designers, we have something for everyone!


I think it's safe to say we've been busy! (Was it really September when we last blogged?) We've continued to take part in a number of local festivals and the store is humming with activity! We've had a number of people already finish their holiday shopping...and most are leaving for atleast one gift for themself! (We know who you are and we won't tell!) Alpaca is perfect for this time of year - we believe everyone should be wearing it!


We've started our holiday hours, which will continue into the new year. We are open Tuesday and Wednesday from 10am to 6pm, Thursday through Saturday from 10am to 8pm, and Sunday from noon until 4pm. We are closed Mondays and holidays, but are available for appointments outside of normal store hours. Call us directly should you need to set up a time.


We're also getting ready for Candelight Night in the Village of Pittsford. This annual event draws hundreds to the village and is a wonderful time to see the stores and visit with your neighbors! It will be held on Tuesday, December 2nd from 5pm to 9pm. Stores, restaurants, the libarary and other businesses will stay open through the event, with specials, food and more. There is caroling, tree lighting, carriage rides...we hope you can come down and join us! We, of course, will have our alpacas in our parking lot!



Speaking of busy, I must run, but wish everyone a wonderful Thanksgiving holiday and we hope to see you at the store!

Finally!!!




I have wanted to have a blog for our store for FOREVER!!! (Well, considering we've been open less than a year, let's say I've wanted one since atleast November of 2007.) I'm one of those people that know what I want, but don't always know how to get from Point A - Point B in the "normal" sense, but somehow still manage to get where I want to go...and usually have a much more fun time getting there.

Technically, this blog came about from me watching Kris Carr on the Mike and Juliet Show this morning talking about her new book Crazy Sexy Cancer Survivor. I then did a search for her website so I could forward it to a friend and was following links when I came across her blog and then another person's on her site. Then in the top right corner I saw the words "Create Blog". I clicked and 60 seconds later..voila! What??? You mean it was that easy all along??? Of course, I'm still trying to get our store website up and running and would like to link the two..but that'll be another day.

So, I'll keep my first blog short, especially seeing as I wasn't planning to start a blog today. But after tomorrow, come here for alpaca updates!

**Please do come see us though at the Naples Grape Festival! We will be there both days, with live alpacas on Sunday!
