Buy Local At Standing Chimney!

Luke - The Welcoming Committee At Standing Chimney!
Today LFLF took a short road trip into adjoining Lawrence County & arrived at  Standing Chimney , "in the middle of nowhere ... on the way to everywhere".  We saw their ad in the October/November edition of Edible Allegheny  & decided to pay a visit & do some shopping.
Felting From Standing Chimney's Own Icelandic Sheep Wool!  
The shop is a few minutes off of I376 near New Galilee, PA and focuses on local artisans, bakers, & candle stick makers!  :)  Let's just say that there was something for everyone here. 
Examples?  Wood cutting boards, hand carved walking sticks, alpaca yarns, felt, & rovings, tole painting, embroidered towels, locker hooked runners, placemats & coasters .....  Soaps, hand creams, greeting cards, fresh rose hip sprays, handmade jewelry, fresh pine wreaths & roping, apple cider, shadow boxes, candles, birdhouses, hand thrown pottery pieces ..... just too much stuff to list & most of it is very local according to shop owner Beth. 
Local Sauces & Standing Chimney Brand Dry Rubs
We left with a stash of baked goods & some of the BBQ Dry Rub for meats, plus an embroidered towel for a Thanksgiving hostess gift.  There were lots of goodies for all of the foodies on your gift list & a sign on the freezer promised "Pierogies inside - just ask"! 
Stop out next Friday 11/25 - Saturday 11/26 or Friday 12/2 - Saturday 12/3 & buy local!
