The husband and I made a trip to York recently to visit the Stonewall Kitchen mothership.
.

.
It’s a huge store with a cafe that offers cooking classes as well.
.

.
I’ve always wanted to go because I love their products and this is the only place you can find their entire line in one place. The tasting stations are a helpful way to avoid buying things you don’t like and since the holidays are approaching there were decorations scattered throughout.
.

.
Who knew Santa liked martinis?
🍸
.

.
I admit the husband wasn’t as thrilled with the excursion as I was.
.

.
But he’s enjoying the results all the same.

Do you Stonewall?

Two guys started it by selling their mother’s blueberry jam at local flea markets and it morphed into a major company. Sadly they sold out to corporate a few years ago but the products are still great quality.

I love their products, especially the orange marmalade. I’d enjoy visiting their brick and mortar store, but short of that I like their online website.

I came home with the tangerine marmalade this trip.

Well I’ve never heard of that store, it must only be on the East coast, but it look wonderful. I love that Santa ornament, because I love me a great martini! I get a kick out of the pictures you take of Mr. River, he always looks so enthusiastic…NOT!

I’m sixty three, so I think you are a little older. This one kind of makes me think of Johnny Horton, of Sink the Bismarck and Battle of New Orleans fame. Get a few drinks down ya and sing along!

I thought you once told me you were in your 80s. My bad. So, yeah, I got 12 years on you.
Sams time frame as Johnny Horton for sure.

OMG. What a score. Someone clearly died immediately after buying it and their relatives donated everything from the pantry.

Oh, NOMNOMNOMNOM!!!
But do you have any money left? They aren’t exactly cheap!
I adore the martini santa!! I wonder if this will be the year I get my booty back over to Roger’s Gardens and their annual display/sale of thousands of glass ornaments. I regret never having bought the budda-santa (nearly $50, 10+ yrs ago).

We spent a little over $70 after the military discount so it wasn’t too bad.

I had no idea Stonewall Kitchen was based in Maine. I don’t get their products often, but I do like them. If memory serves, they have a jar of salted caramel that can go on ice cream (or straight in your mouth with a spoon). Divine.

They have a pumpkin caramel right now that’s to die for on vanilla.

This would not be a safe space for us to visit. My husband is the absolute Condiment King and I’ve pretty much tried to ban him from the Stonewall website!
