We just found out that Melody & Richard’s home is in
Judy Condon’s latest book… The Warmth of Home!
Copies are on their way, and even though we’re closed right now, you can call to reserve a copy!
Best number to call… 302-539-5605
We knew it would eventually be in one, but weren’t sure of ”when?” and “which book?”
What a fun surprise we had this week!
Melody was feeling her oats this morning… she tried to get Richard with a snowball first thing, but he ducked, and then she called Kim & Kate and told us to come over and make a snowman before it all melted. And so, in honor of Nana Anne, Rose, Miss Jeannette, and Mr. Jim… as well as everyone else that calls to give us a snow report… (You know who you are!)…
Mr. Phileas Frost

Our granddaughter Jordan and her hubby Luke flew in last week from California with their two little guys! Thought you’d all like to meet Jackson and Derik! Here they are visiting at Nana Mel & Pop-Pop Richard’s house…
Jackson proved to be big enough to help keep shop last Saturday…
… and found a completely new use for the faux osage oranges we sell…
Incredible photo by Great-Uncle Chris!
Finally… a chair for the vertically challenged! Our family runs a little on the short side… some of us gals barely reach five feet tall… and finding sofas and chairs that fit us is not easy. Our guys have actually trimmed the legs off brand new chairs to make them more comfy. Weren’t we surprised to open the mail and find this new page to add to our Johnston Benchworks catalog…
Introducing the Low Gap Settle and Chair… it also comes in a Sofa and Chair-and-a-Half length, and they have footstools and benches of the same height. Melody, Kim, and Kate are jumping up and down for joy… and trying to figure out how we can order one for ourselves!
Hello everyone!
We’ve turned the AC up high so we can get into an autumnal mood! Melody & Kim have started filling every nook & cranny with pumpkins, crows, and pilgrims…
New spicy scents are arriving daily… Fresh Pumpkin, Cinnamon Cider, Pumpkin Spice, and Vanilla…
And there’s lot of new needful stuff coming… fresh fall scents from Rhapsody Candles, mocha frosted pumpkins, fall stitchings by Kate, leafy & berry-laden garlands, autumn papercuttings by Kim, unique blown glass ornaments, table runners and placemats, and much more!
We’ll be taking a short break to get it all displayed and to get ourselves ready for the fall & Christmas season here at Hudson’s…
Make sure you come visit when
we re-open September 9th!
Hi folks! We were digging around in some of our old store newsletters, and found a few things we thought we’d share here on the blog! Just in case you’re spending some time at the beach, here’s a fun idea…
In other news, Judy Condon’s new book, Welcome Home, just arrived! We think they just keep getting better and better! Stop in a get a copy… you’ll especially love the first-person interview of Lovey Makepeace! Fun and inspiring!
Just wanted to show you all the well house Dad is building! It’s just about done, but I hear him sawing away on something outside, so there must be more coming… maybe a platform around the bottom? This is modeled after the well behind the Raleigh Tavern… when in Williamsburg, we always go to the bakery back there and buy Virginia Ham sandwiches on biscuits, hunks of cheese, apple pasties (that’s not a typo… it’s pronounced “pass-tees”), and then sit near this well and eat our lunch. The birds and squirrels all congregate around the bakery and perform all sorts of antics to earn the crumbs people throw to them. The birds are not shy at all, and will practically take a piece of biscuit right from your hands! Without further ado… the well house in Hudson’s Garden!
Hello Folks! We wanted to let you know that Easter things are now 30% Off! (Consignment items and chocolate covered eggs not included!) Things are clearing out quickly, so stop by if you’re looking for a bargain!
We also just updated our home page with information about our upcoming EasterWeekend Open House… come meet our folk artists in person! They’re a neat bunch of folks, and very talented too! So far we’ve got carvers, painters, papercutters, and basket weavers… plus Katie Moose will be here on Friday for a book signing. Weather permitting, our Kate will be doing open fire cooking demonstrations… we’re just not sure which century she’ll be in yet!
And Kim caught Melody & Kate jumping in the dumpster a few days ago… in case you wondered what we did for fun around here!
Hello folks! We just wanted to let you know we have the latest book by Judy Condon in the store…
It’s absolutely wonderfully inspiring! There’s an entire section on country gardens, which inspired Richard! Check out what he’s been doing the past few days by clicking here!
And don’t forget we carry all of Judy’s books! They’re all great!
