It is that time of year when we wind down our holiday activities. This weekend is the last opportunity to shop at the Hexagon House for the 2022 season. If you are planning on doing some last minute shopping for something you’ve been thinking about, your best chances are today (Friday, Dec. 9) or Saturday (Dec. 10) as artists will start picking up around noon on Sunday.

Several artists have placed discounts on their items, including woodworking by Dave Hickman, weaving by Clara Schulte, scarves by Donna Sheets, and crocheted ornaments by Hilda Troxell (discount applied at checkout).

We still have some freshly cut greens from our last greens donation, including holly with berries, some boxwood, magnolia, and blue spruce. Greens are priced by the bag (bring your own gloves if needed!)

Thanks to everyone for your interest this year, and next week we hope to have a better picture of House Tour and the Shop to share with you.

At the Hexagon House, 530 Amherst Street
November 18-December 11
10 AM –5 PM
Open Wednesdays-Sundays. Closed Mondays, Tuesdays, and Thanksgiving. See our listing on Virginia.org for full list of dates.

We hope you enjoyed the offerings of last week while the PHW office was on vacation. We spent our week off doing proper preservation things, like scraping and painting wood porch elements. We are now ready to start the second half of the year here at PHW, which will culminate with the Bough & Dough Shop and Holiday House Tour.

To get prepared for the Shop, we are bringing back our Bough & Dough Shop Open House and Call for Artists on Saturday, August 20, 10 AM – 1 PM. The informational open house for the 46^th annual Bough & Dough Shop will be held on the first floor of the Hexagon House, 530 Amherst St.

The boutique holiday pop-up shop will be held Nov. 18-Dec. 11, 2022 to support the organization’s fundraising for local preservation projects. PHW is seeking new artists crafting unique handmade items and holiday décor to expand the shop’s offerings for 2022. We invite anyone interested in applying to stop by to see the space in person and find out more about the event. Prospective artists are encouraged to bring portfolios or example pieces for the jury process. Application forms will be available at the event. You can also find the informational sheet and application on our website in advance.

Tickets officially go on sale today for the 45th Holiday House Tour – and our Bough & Dough Shop opens at 10 AM! Adult tickets are $20, children ages 12-6 are $6, and children under 6 are free.

You can pick up Holiday House Tour tickets, along with PHW memberships (including a free copy of Winchester: Limestone, Sycamores & Architecture, valued at $25) at the Bough & Dough Shop at 530 Amherst Street. Remember to get your renewals in to PHW by the end of this year if you would like to take advantage of the free book offer!

You may also wish to visit Kimberly’s, Winchester Book Gallery, or the Winchester-Frederick County Visitors Center for your Holiday House Tour tickets.

Behind the scenes at PHW, we are considering some tweaks to the Bough and Dough Shop for 2021. While we can’t peer into the crystal ball and see what our day to day life will be like by November, our highest priority with holding a gathering of any sort is safety for artists, visitors, and volunteer workers. If you enjoy shopping at the Hexagon House in the holiday season, we’d like your thoughts on how we should proceed this year. Please follow the link or answer the survey below to help us plan for the dates, format, artist/product selection, and shop layout for the 2021 Bough and Dough Shop. Make sure you give your answers to us by noon on February 8 so we can share the information at our next board meeting.
