Can you believe it, it's almost Fall again. I feel like this was the shortest summer ever!

September is our anniversary month with QVC, it's hard to believe we have been selling our baskets on the QVC Shopping channel since 1993. I started here in 1995 as temporary help to work on orders that were shipping out to QVC. I am still here 12 years later, so I must have done something good.

September 4th, 2007 we celebrate our 14th anniversary on QVC and we are very excited about it. Our show kicks off at midnight and we have two other shows that day, Noon to 1PM and 8-9PM. We have many new baskets to offer as well as lots of customer favorites. There will be a couple signed baskets for those who collect the Walter Hood signature baskets.

For those of you wondering when our annual fall sale will be held at the factory here in Peterborough, stay tuned. The date has not yet been set because we have been sooooo busy getting ready for our QVC show. We will keep you posted on the date as soon as we have a chance to catch our breath. We will be sure to post the dates on the home page of the site as soon as we set them.

Even though the summer is almost over, there are things that I look forward to in the Fall season. I love, love, love the apple picking season! There is nothing like picking a sun ripened apple from the tree, wiping it off on your jeans, and biting into it.

If you enjoy apple picking also, I encourage you to bring your own Peterboro Basket for gathering your apples.  It just looks so much better on your kitchen counter or table in a Peterboro Basket, and the bags that they give out in most places are plastic. I like to help reduce the use of things that are not biodegradable. Our baskets are great for picking any kind of berries, vegetables, fruits and wonderful if you shop at your local farmer's markets.
