A Little Black Friday Teaser!

 We are working our fingers to the bone trying to get SHR ready to be open on Black Friday. Not much has actually made it in to the store yet - but I did find a few things!  Like this cute little cupboard that came in - kinda cottagey, kinda deco, kinda cute!
 Saw this awesome set of chairs - and gorgeous round table in the background.  I don't know if these chairs are going to be painted or re-covered or both or neither - but I did check them out and can vouch for their sturdiness and comfort!
 What a beautiful armoire!
 Look at this 2 piece gray cupboard.  She is a beaut!
 Love the detail on this little shelf.
 A pair of fluted columns - they are gorgeous!
 Looks like this table is still a work in progress - but look at the great legs!  Can't wait to see the finished product!
 Some awfully nice and cozy flannel and wool shirts and jackets - even some Pendleton!
 Love this table - great metal industrial bottom with barnwood top.
 Christmas dishes!
 Very large sugar cones!
 Handmade Christmas cards!
 The perfect drink set for your next cocktail party!
 Christmas quilts!
 We do love vintage ornaments!
 Love the paper wreath!
 How's that for a unique Christmas tree?
 Vintage Christmas linens!
Love this crate - perhaps filled with greens and berries and birch or maybe tucked under the tree brimming with gifts?  Endless possibilities!

Want to get your Christmas tree?  Buffalo Hills Tree farm is just on the outskirts of town with many varieties of cut your own trees.  On the other end of town is Deer Lake Orchard with a large variety of Minnesota grown pre-cut trees.  They will offer hot steaming coffee and the petting zoo area will be open for the kids too!  A bit farther out of town is Dutch Lake Guest House in Howard Lake.  They have a beautiful setting, a large variety of trees and an awesome host and hostess and will help you find the perfect tree to cut!  They will also have hot coffee and hayrides!

Need some place wonderful to have lunch?  Try BJ's Deli or The Loaf and Ladle - right in downtown Buffalo.  Both offer incredible homemade soups and sandwiches and BJ's also has great salads and mouthwatering desserts!  Both of these places close at 3pm - but never fear if you are a looking for a later lunch or dinner - stop in at Jay's Diner in downtown Buffalo for mouthwatering down home foods; or Hot Wok for wonderful Chinese (and the best wontons in the entire world!); or House of Lo in downtown Buffalo with a great view of the lake; Buffalo Bar and Grill offers up great burgers and drinks;  Norm's Wayside on the east side of town has the world's best pizza and a full drinks menu; out on the other side of town is Mill Creek Inn with a full menu, pull tabs and full bar - and they have great homemade soups too!  Want some incredible Mexican?  Stop in at Rancho Grande right on Hwy 55 for incredible food and margaritas.

With all of this great shopping, eating, wine tasting and tree cutting - who needs the malls?  Or visit them in the wee hours - but then head West for the most unique and best shopping Minnesota has to offer!
