We are also approaching the start of Nevada City's Victorian Christmas. This unique event begins Wednesday December 7th and continues the following two Wednesdays, December 14th and 21st, from 5-9pm; as well Sunday December 11th and Sunday December 18th, from 1:30-6pm. Victorian Christmas is truly magical, with traditional carolers, carriage rides, tasty treats, and of course, Santa Claus. Fun is to be had by the whole family! My children have always loved the Victorian Christmas' that take place at night, when our sweet, little town is lit-up with twinkling lights.

If you happen to be in town for either of the Sunday Victorian Christmas', bring your children by Penny Lane for Christmas Story Time. We will be reading a variety of holiday tales from our bookshelves from 2:00-4:00pm.

Over in the Meadow

2011-05-27T15:47:00.000-07:00

Over in the meadow in the sand in the sun 

Lived an bumpy mother toad and her little toadie one. 

"Wink!" said the mother;

"I wink!" said the one.

So they winked and they blinked

In the sand in the sun.

Newly arriving at Penny Lane is a new take on the lovely children's classic poem, Over in the Meadow. I personally have always had a soft spot for this delightful counting rhyme, as it was my little brother's favorite growing up, and we had to read it practically everyday when he was little.

This new version published by Barefoot Books has all the traditional aspects of the song preserved, and even comes with an enhanced CD that you can both watch and listen to!

What I love most about this version of "Over in the Meadow" are the beautiful illustrations of the book by Jill McDonald. We carry several books from Barefoot that she illustrates, but this one is by far my favorite. With its cool color palette and McDonald's patchwork-art style, your child will be draw into the story and transported to this enchanting meadow full of lambs, mice and lizards.

The Penny Lane Boutique Online

2011-05-17T13:34:00.000-07:00

So once upon a time I poured myself into a website for our little shop. Our customers repeatedly were asking for a website and so I tried to deliver. Alas, I was so exhausted by the whole process that after thepennylaneboutique.com finally was launched, I neglected it due to the bittersweet taste it left in my mouth=(

Three years later I am turning over a leaf and relaunching the website. It has a similar look and feel, but on my end I am more bright and positive and ready to provide a wonderfully functionally website for all you online shoppers.

As a perk for you local shoppers, you can check out the great merchandise online, and then pop into the boutique to pick it up! We'll let you all know when the site is up and running!

Can't wait to rejoin the online world!
