Our Annual Fall Open House and Pop-Up Market turned out to be a beautiful Saturday! Despite reports of scattered rain that might have scared some folks off, most of you still joined us for a fantastic day! We keep a close eye on the weather, and if there's ever a chance of severe or tornadic conditions, we'll cancel (though thankfully, we haven't had to yet). Your safety is our top priority. But scattered showers? We can handle those! We've been blessed with great weather and amazing customer turnout each time.

Our Fall Open House is a big deal for us as it celebrates our business. We're thrilled to be celebrating 28 years this October, and we couldn't have done it without all of you—our incredible staff, our loyal customers, and the talented creators and vendors who join us at our Outdoor Markets. This summer was unseasonably hot, but your commitment to Countryside Village and all the hard work that goes into these markets doesn't go unnoticed or unappreciated. We appreciate you from the bottom of our hearts!

For those who missed our Fall Open House Sale last weekend, don't worry—the sale continues this week! All Fall & Halloween Home Décor and Women's Fall & Halloween Shirts are 25% OFF. Quantities are limited, so make sure to get here soon—once it's gone, it's gone for good!

We're gearing up for our 28th Christmas Holiday season and can't wait to share it with you! Keep an eye on our page for updates as we transform the store into a Christmas Wonderland. Mark your calendars for our Holiday Open House weekend on November 15 & 16—you won't want to miss it!
