Hello all,

Just wanted to post some pics of the newest Shop Local, Shop Emmaus poster series…and who are those two gorgeous ladies?…oh, wait, they look familiar…THEY ARE US!! Yep, that’s my Mom (Val) and me (Lauren) posing in the gallery, just smiling away. Man, we’re some happy gals!

So look for the poster in the Emmaus area, coming soon. Don’t draw any mustaches on us, pretty please. *wink*

Emmaus Gets a Shout-Out!

The latest edition of Lehigh Valley Style, a gorgeous and always beautifully designed magazine, has given props to our little town of Emmaus. Though there have been numerous blurbs in the past mentioning us in the past (usually highlighting a specialty shop in town), this time we’ve got a FULL ARTICLE! My heart swells with pride like a proud parent. Give it a quick read, go ahead (starts on page 45 on the Ezine)!

Though written to be informational and to comment on the town as a whole, I wish they would have gone into all the wonderful businesses we have to offer. People JUST. DON’T. KNOW. It boggles my mind when a customer comes in and says, “I’ve lived in Emmaus for X-amount of years, and never stepped foot in any of the shops.” Sometimes they live a block away! It makes me cry at night. Okay, that’s a little dramatic.

But still…residents of the Valley often go to Bethlehem for the specialty shops they love to browse and purchase in, when really what they are looking for may be right in their backyard (literally). Even if a store doesn’t carry the things you need and just gotta have at that very moment, please do yourself a favor and just go to look. Meet the owners and sales associates. You probably know them. Or if you don’t actually know them, you’ll leave the store feeling like you just chatted with a friend. We’re very welcoming here in this little charming town.

Thank you, Lehigh Valley Style, for giving us that shout-out. We really appreciate your kind words encouraging readers to check it out!

And please keep ALL of our businesses in mind when you’re gearing up for the holidays. I promise you’ll enjoy discovering what we have to offer.

Emmaus Farmer’s Market To Begin Soon!

As we’re nearing the end of April and peope are really starting to enjoy visiting the town, that can only mean one thing…the Emmaus Farmer’s Market is about to begin! Held in the KNBT Bank parking lot (right across the street from us!) from 10am-2pm every Sunday until Thanksgiving, the Farmer’s Market has proven to be quite a happening place. In fact, one may find it difficult on Sundays to drive through the Main Street without stopping multiple times for families crossing the street in order to get their fresh produce (don’t let that scare you away because of parking, there are lots of spaces behind businesses that are always open). All Emmaus business owners are very excited when they see lots of people strolling around town, and the Farmer’s Market has certainly motivated tons of walkers to get out and about on Sundays!

Out of Our Hands will be adjusting our hours starting May 1st to be open every Sunday from 10am-2pm while the Market is going on. Stop by and browse our new inventory or just to say hello! We are looking foward to eventually offering some events and mini art projects for youngsters on Sundays…more info on that to come.

Our Sunday hours will be lasting until the end of the year (January 1st, 2011 is when we’ll make the switch back to our winter hours). We are looking foward to offering more shopping hours to our customers. We’ll see you soon!
