Sunday night update

We are loaded up on cookies and donuts and ready for the weekend!

10/16/2026

Quick reminder, this weekend is the last cookie weekend for the next two weeks. We will be open, and Brother’s will be delivering donuts. It’s just my oven is shutting off for a little bit.

We are getting very close on the expansion! The ceiling is up and windows have been replaced. Jim is starting the walls this weekend and has finally agreed to let me help. I’m super excited!

When we have a date, I will share it and start sharing photos of some of the treasures and treats you’ll find here 🥰

A little update from Riddle Hill Homestead! Starting Monday, October 19, I’ll be taking a break from baking cookies to rest a bit and do some reorganizing behind the scenes.

We’ll still have donuts and drinks while baking is paused, so stop by for a treat!

Cookies will be back Friday, October 30. Thank you for giving me a little time to catch up!

All insulated, and Joe from Ruggles just dropped off the next batch of lumber we need! Thank you, Joe! 😊

Our expanded shop at Riddle Hill Homestead is coming together. It’s still a construction zone, but I’m already picturing the shelves filled with local art, gifts, books, and vintage finds, with little lamps making it feel cozy and welcoming.

We’ll keep sharing peeks as we go. I can’t wait to start filling this space!

Our store is growing, and we’re excited to add more locally made art, gifts, vintage finds, and special little treasures!

With consignment, you receive 85% of the retail sale price as a Let’s Grow Grafton member, and 75% as a nonmember. I’ll take care of displaying your items. Purchasing smaller items wholesale is also an option.

Take a look at the details, and feel free to send me a message if you think your work might be a good fit. We’d love to hear from you!

All the freshly milled lumber is coming from our neighbors at Ruggles Mine! We wouldn’t be this far along without Joe 😊
