Brome County Museum’s ‘Twelve Days of Christmas’
IBrome County Historical Society
n the old-fashioned spirit of giving hand-crafted and local items at Christmas, the Brome County Museum has stocked its “Bounty of Brome County” shop with gifts and goodies made by friends and neighbours in this neck of the woods! We carry unique pieces by artist Jane Walker, potter Robin Badger, and artisanal jeweller Lucy Pietraszkiewicz as well as products from Turkey Hill, Virgin Hill, Joie Lavande, and, our newest partner, Vitalité Sureau, the elderberry peeps!
Make your Christmas shopping “as easy as pie” by stopping by our annual Christmas bake sale on December 9 between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. and, after stocking up on delicious home-baked goods, browsing our gift shop. With a complimentary “Confederation Coffee” in your hand and the following handy buying guide in your head, you’ll have your shopping done before you can sing “The Twelve Days of Christmas!”
