We really appreciate the fact that all of you are so very kind & patient with us as we make the necessary changes for the growth of the show.

We also wanted to let you know that we have decided to push back the dates of our spring show a bit. Instead of the usual March dates, we decided to have it in April instead.

April 21st. 10-6 everyday, (except for pre-sale 12th, will be from 4-8 pm).

We want to wish each & every one of you much happiness , joy & cheer throughout the season & in the new year.
See you in April!!!!!!!

We had a lot of fun at the Sept. show during our pre-shop night. (Customers liked the fact that it was a bit more relaxed & easier to shop). It was nice not only being in a new larger 1 level showroom, but also to be able to try out a new venue like a pre-sale evening.....& yes of course you may actually make your normal purchases that evening. (The only thing that we ask is if you wish to purchase a large item or a "featured" item you may certainly do so, but that we may PLEASE leave it on display thru opening weekend). That way the show won't look torn up on opening day before it opens to the public.

We would like to once again thank all of you for your support & allowing us to make the necessary changes that we needed for the show to grow. With out all of you guys, we could not begin to have a show, so THANK-YOU so very much!

Hope to see you soon!

GETTING READY FOR OUR BEAUTIFUL AUTUMN SHOW IN OUR NEW LOCATION!!!

As you can see, we have already started preparation for our wonderful Blackberry Junction Autumn show. Lots of new & exciting things this time, including a new location!!!!!!
We have enjoyed our time at the historic Fairmount grange, but we have simply grown out of it. (Which is a good problem to have). I know both the vendors & the loyal customers have been asking us to find a new larger location that has only one level to make shopping and set-up a bit easier.
So now I am happy to announce to all of you that our new warehouse facility on Water street in Albany, will meet all of our needs & will open a more doors for us to keep growing & just keep getting better!
We are currently working on plans to sell tickets at the door for $20.00 to have a pre-sale evening from 5:00-8:00 PM the evening before the show opens. This invitation is for our loyal customers who have been with us & helped to support us all of this time. It will give them a chance to have a sneak peek of our fall show & a chance to shop early enjoy wine, chocolate & other goodies! (We will also have a one drawing per hour during this evening).
That's all of the surprises for now, I'll keep you posted as more fun things unfold!
