Welcome to Century Farmhouse in 2013!

The lid on my January Box is officially open!  I don't know if you have one, but we get so busy during the year, that soap recipe ideas, customer suggestions, new marketing tools, etc., all go into the proverbial January Box to be sorted through and worked on in... 
January!
So, even though we've entered what can be a slow season for shoppers, it has been pretty busy at Century Farmhouse. The calendar is filling up, classes have been scheduled, new products have been designed, and we have been catching up with local events and projects. This year we are adding a second soap making class, and are increasing our wholesale work by adding wholesale events in Atlanta. There is a new Country Living Fair venue to meet you at, and you will see our product lines growing - in addition to soaps.  We are continuing our partnership with FOLK Magazine, and if you didn't have the opportunity to learn more about the inspiration that fuels the creative process at Century Farmhouse, you can catch up here.

So get ready for a wonderful, fun-filled year.  And don't forget to use that coupon at the bottom of this page!

Vote!  Bid!  Be a Diva!
If you've been in or around West Bend lately, you've probably heard about the Lac Lawrann Door Project - a public art initiative that has involved doors opening and closing all over town.   On Friday January 25, the Diva Group is hosting a Door-to-Door event... don't miss this!  If you are not from the area, you can still be part of the fun by voting or bidding for your favorite door online. 
 
CF Cupboard Lac Lawrann 2013
The CF team decorated our cupboard with words by Susan Waala, and photos of lavender fields in Washington. Painted stems of lavender flowers accent the front and side.
Read more about the doors and all the surrounding events here.  Then go to the page that lets you see the entries and find out more about who made them and the awards they may have won. 
Finally, vote for your favorite door entry and bid for one of the doors.  Then wait until April 5 to open the doors at the new Museum of Wisconsin Art and until Earth Day, April 22 to open the doors at Lac Lawrann's new Learning Center. 

Oh, the Places We'll Go in 2013...

The Diva Events 2013

One of the fine things about being in a community that loves to have fun, is the camaraderie and friendship that exists among the people who own and work at the Specialty Shops in our town. (I suspect it is the same in your town, too!) Everyone has great ideas and everyone else has a grand time celebrating them.  So here is the schedule for the 2013 Diva Group events in West Bend, Wisconsin.  Come and celebrate with us if you can!

January 25:      Door to Door with Lac Lawrann Conservancy
April 18:           Spring Bling... it's a Diva Thing!
June 12:           Gallery Night
August 7:         Sidewalk Sale
September 12: Diva Night
October 11:      Gallery Night
