Happy Holidays!

Village Craftsmen continues to offer fine quality American-made handcrafts even in the winter season. Our store on Howard Street is open Tuesday - Saturday from 11 am until 4 pm. Of course, our on-line store is also open. Our store on Howard Street will be closed December 24 & 25 so we can celebrate Christmas with our families, but will reopen on December 26. We will close for the season on December 31, and  will re-open again mid-March, 2016.

Also, this is our last blog post for 2015. Posts will resume on January 4, 2016. We hope you enjoy reading our blog throughout the year.

Until next year, we wish you all a Happy Winter Solstice (December 22)....




....The Merriest of Christmases (December 25)....

















....and all good things in the New Year!













Many thanks to all of our readers and customers for a wonderful 2015. We are looking forward to seeing you all again in 2016!!
