EMBARRASS — The Nelimark Homestead and Farmstead Artisans invites everyone to Yuletide Treasures on Dec. 11, 12, and 13 from 10 a.m.-3 p.m. If you missed the Nelimark in November, this is your last chance of the year to visit this unique and welcoming shop. This weekend will feature a nice selection of holiday cookies and treats in addition to the home-baked breads.
Dec. 11 will be the best day to get stocked up on holiday breads, including pulla, cinnamon rolls, and other delicious home-baked creations, which in the past have been bought out by Saturday.
Stop by with a friend and sit and enjoy coffee, hot cider, and treats. Or if you are on your own, you may find some new friends, or old neighbors, to sit and visit with in the cozy seating area.
Shoppers will find numerous items available at the Embarrass Nelimark Homestead Museum at reasonable prices, created by community artisans. Old-time memories can be experienced and captured at the old homestead, which has been redecorated for the holidays.
The list of items this year is endless: handcrafted figures; homemade soaps and oils; small trees, mantle and entry decorations; sauna signs; repurposed and recycled items attractively made new again; Finnish glassware; unique children’s books and other gift books; T-shirts and sweats, baseball caps, warm hats and mittens to wear; aprons, ironing board covers, throw pillows and lovely long-lasting rag rugs; postcards from olden days; bird feeders, old marbles, games for kids, and local photographs of sites we treasure.
Upstairs at the museum — which is located across from Timber Hall — you can find unique collectibles, such as kerosene lanterns, cookie jars to fill, old jars and tins, crocks, glassware collections and many additional items on sale.
The Nelimark is located at the intersection of Salo Rd. and Hwy. 21 across from Timber Hall in Embarrass.
