Today's Teaser...

...for our Spring 2012 Re-Opening Event on Saturday, April 14th, from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.!

An article on NorthCentralPA.com about Port Penn Peddler and our upcoming Spring 2012 Re-Opening Event (http://www.northcentralpa.com/article/port-penn-peddler%E2%80%99s-spring-2012-re-opening-event):

Port Penn Peddler's Spring 2012 Re-Opening Event (In Arts, March 27, 2012)

Housed within a rather unassuming barn on the picturesque Susquehanna River is a quaint shoppe and art gallery called Port Penn Peddler. Their tagline is “Everyday eclectic…” implying a selection of unique, yet practical, pieces. And that is just what they deliver, from hand-made creations by area artists and artisans (jewelry, paintings, greeting cards, soaps, salves, etc.), gently-used clothing and books, Miche™ bags in a retail setting, NYC boutique bags, and much more.

The shoppe is a bit off the beaten path, at 585 Pepper Street in Muncy Creek Township, and just 20 miles from Lewisburg and Williamsport, PA. In addition to their wares, they host periodic events such as arts and crafts classes, Miche™ bag Trunk Shows, and wine and cheese tastings featuring wines from local vineyards.

Their upcoming Spring 2012 Re-Opening Event, on Saturday, April 14th, from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., will feature demonstrations by locals John DeWald (scrimshander), Amy Garbes (jewelry-maker), Janice Hambridge (t’ai chi instructor), Larry Ney II (painter), and Danelle Wagner (photographer), music by Abygale Hecker, light refreshments provided by Tastefully Simple representative Janet Smith, and the chance to win a Door Prize. Please visit http://www.portpennpeddler.blogspot.com/, and “Like” Port Penn Peddler on Facebook, for further details on this event and for directions.

Also, by shopping at Port Penn Peddler you will be supporting not only your local economy, artists, and artisans, but several charities: many items are marked with a "DON" or "Donation" tag which means that 60% of the purchase price will be distributed evenly between the ALS Association, Humane Society, and Northcentral Pennsylvania Conservancy. Each of these charities has a special meaning for the shoppe owners, a daughter-and-mother-in-law team: Lara Schmitt’s father, and Noreen Craver’s step-son, both passed away from ALS (“Lou Gehrig’s Disease”), the two women believe in the importance of adopting versus purchasing pets, and Schmitt’s home and land is protected under the Conservancy.

And while visiting Port Penn Peddler, consider making an afternoon of it. After shopping, take some time to stroll through Muncy’s Heritage Park & Nature Trail which is adjacent to the property. The park currently features markers detailing some of the historical aspects of the area, the remains of the old canal’s lock house and well, a picturesque pond with a dock, a beautiful pavilion to relax under, and will soon also provide river access.

Port Penn Peddler’s April/May/June 2012 hours: Fridays 5 to 8 p.m., Saturdays 11 a.m. to 5 p.m., closed Sundays to Thursdays (by appointment only). Phone/Fax: (570) 935-0195. E-mail: portpennpeddler@yahoo.com.

T'ai chi is a type of Chinese martial art practiced for both its defense training and its health benefits. However, over time, it has developed a worldwide following among people with little or no interest in martial training, for its benefit to health and health maintenance (medical studies of t'ai chi support its effectiveness as an alternative exercise and a form of martial arts therapy).*

t'ai chi demonstration will be given by local instructor, Janice Hambridge, during our re-opening event, from 10:30 to 11:30 a.m.

If you'd like to participate, please come dressed in comfortable workout clothing appropriate for the outdoor temperature that day (as the demo will be held outdoors, it will be weather permitting; also, it will be held on the lawn, which might be uneven in some areas). We also suggest you bring a picnic blanket or large towel to sit on, whether you're participating or just observing, and bottled water.

Yes, Virginia...

...shopping during the holidays can be fun!

Especially when you get a little something for yourself as well...so, on Saturday, November 12th, go on our Holiday Shoppe Hop & Wreath Workshop!

Stop by The Olde Barn Center that day after 10 a.m. to purchase a certificate for our Wreath Workshop...then take the route shown on the map below to the 6 other participating Muncy-area businesses (including Port Penn Peddler!) to not only get some holiday shopping in for your family and friends, but also to pick collect a total of 7 free ornaments for your wreath! But only the first 50 ornaments are free, so don't delay in getting your certificate.



At your 6th stop, Port Penn Peddler, cross people off your holiday gift-giving list by getting them something hand-crafted by a local artist or artisan. Pick up some homemade soaps and lotions for your family and friends, invest in a work of art for your spouse, surprise your wife with a one-of-a-kind piece of jewelry, get your little girl or niece a hand-made apron, give your girlfriend a unique NYC boutique bag, or your mother a versatile and practical Miche brand bag.

Make your loved ones feel even more loved...don't give them the expected this holiday season, give them the unexpected!
