Weeping Willow Fine Arts is a Special NH Crafter

Submitted by Kate Bashline, Granite State Ambassador
Great Bay Class of 2001
Jewelry and fine art objects made by Diane Bennett of  Weeping Willow Fine Arts are simply resplendent. Her jewelery is a delight to wear for its design and rich colors that highlight whatever you are wearing. It can be worn to work and play. The dichroic glass changes colors in a magical way. There is added enjoyment in the fact that you will always meet a nice person who just has to speak to you about your lovely jewelry. Diane and her process of dichroic glass have been featured on NH Chronicle. Her items are a true gift to yourself or others. Her prices are affordable. Her business and her art are a special NH story.

10 Grand Christmas Gifts

9. For the city dweller and anyone who longs to take a walk in the New Hampshire woods, stock up on balsam pillows available at Fiddleheads in Colebrook.

8. Just about everyone loves a cold glass (or can or bottle) of beer, but for the ones on your holiday list who long to craft their own brew, check out the beer making supplies and kits at Granite Cask in Whitefield. How can you can you possibly go wrong in giving your brewmeister the way to brew Mastiff Drool English Style Barleywine?

7. There are special people in our lives for whom the ordinary gift just won't do. For your mom, your Nana, your sister, your best friend, you need something extraordinary, like a one of a kind piece of jewelry or a hand-thrown pottery mug that will start their day by remembering you. Find something extraordinarily special at The Local Works Marketplace in Bethlehem.

Joining up entitles them to ride as many times to the top of Mount Washington as they want aboard The Cog, including one trip in the cab of a biodiesel locomotive!

Shopping with Judi

Submitted by: Judi W. GSA [Inaugural Class 1996]

I confess, I am a mall girl. Some people like to shop in quaint little stores that dot the landscape of New Hampshire (including our southern tier), but I really love to shop in the mall. New Hampshire has some pretty nice malls including the Rockingham Mall in Salem NH at Exit 1 just after the NH/MA border on I-93.

 When I volunteered on a committee at the Salem Chamber of Commerce 10 years ago I had a great marketing idea (that they never used)...

The 3 Best Reasons To Visit Salem NH
Exit 1 SHOPPING (The Mall at Rochingham Park)
Exit 2 ATTRACTIONS (Canobie Lake)
Exit3 FOOD (Common Man)
I still like the idea.... My favorite Exit is #1 - The Mall Exit.... From Manchester NH (where I live) The Mall at Rockingham Park (or as we fondly refer to it the "Salem" Mall) is about 25 miles or about 1/2 hours drive south on I-93. The drive is usually pretty fast except during rush hours, holidays, and Sunday evenings when people are driving south from NH back to Massachusetts and points south.
I also receive Twitter alerts on my phone with any problems and/or construction delays so I can plan accordingly (because, of course, I don't text & drive). There has been quite a bit of construction as they continue the Rebuilding of I-93 Salem to Manchester. If you are driving North to NH from Massachusetts, the traffic will be the opposite, busy on Fridays due to lots of people driving North to NH's beautiful Lakes & Mountains.

I was happy to see a few new stores in the mall since my last visit including Sephora a gigantic makeup store. I love the way they package up what you buy... like it is a little present just for you! I also use CardStar (for iPhone or smart phone users this is a cool app that keeps all your "rewards cards" scanned in so you don't have to carry the actual cards with you... just your phone.)
Speaking about iPhones, there is an Apple Store at the mall. Although closer to my house, I am sad that there isn't one at The Mall of New Hampshire. Everyday since the iPad and the iPhone 4 came out they have LINES at their door to get in. Incredible! I haven't gotten either yet... YET.
Being in the tourism industry, I always look out for our guests and think about them in my everyday life. Shopping is no different. Here are some tips for you:
  • Kids... there is a hurricane machine
  • Parents... there is a wall of brochures giving you ideas of other things to do
  • The mall is 2 levels and if you walk each level twice you will have walked 1 mile.
  • The food court has pretty good choices and has a horse carousel for the little ones
  • There is garage parking so when it is raining or snowy you are under cover
  • Anchor stores include Macy's, Sears, & JC Penny (here is the Floor Plan   
Welcome to New Hampshire! If you have any questions I am one of the volunteers at our Virtual Visitor Center on Twitter @askNH
