Both regulars - folks we see each week and who seem to incorporate a visit to the BR into their weekend -- and a number of first time visitors came through the doors today.
I am particularly pleased with the people who come in and ask if they can.... provide us with local honey ! -- yes, of course was my answer to Sally Toscano when she asked that in December. We now have a number of connection points with Rejays (www.rejaysfarm.com ) including hen feed, organic eggs and lettuce seedlings.
And what about the artists? John Kearney has been with us since day one (I brought his works back from Ireland). Diana Ornberg hung a few pieces with us on Cranbury Day and tomorrow she has a show at the Gourgand Gallery - way to go Diana!
For the last month or so, Allison Singer's wonderful paintings of Cranbury have graced the two dining rooms and the bakery space. Allison walked in, liked the place and asked if I'd hang her work for a while. Yes, of course -- www.allisonsingerartgallery.com
And we have a group of water colourists in town who may bring items to hang on our walls in the spring. Until then, we are talking with Jim Morgan and several others about the prospects of their works coming into our space.
It is an amazing adventure to see how each day and each event associated with the BR will unfold. And to now have 6 months of days is amazing, too. Thank you to each person who asks about the health of our business, who lets us know how much they enjoy what we have created and who wants to help ensure our longevity. We feel very fortunate to have such wonderful people in our lives --
February has been a short and yet strong month for us, and we are looking forward to building on the requests and favourites that each of you have mentioned to us -- by name or by repeat "eating". We feel optimistic and thankful.
