God Jul! Ingebretsen's welcomes you
to Country Christmas weekend Saturday, December 1, and Sunday, December 2, with
a cup of glögg. We'll be serving a delicious, non-alcoholic
version of this warm, spiced mulled wine.
We are also welcoming two talented guests, illustrator June Nyberg and
textile artist Diane Hoven.
June
Nyberg is the illustrator of the newly released Eilert the Gnome Loses Home children’s
book. From Superior, Wisconsin, June
is a longtime teacher and lover of folk art.
While reading words, she envisions shapes and colors. The author’s
telling of Eilert so clearly depicted the characters in the book that the words
easily became pictures for June. Meet
June and have her sign a book for you between 11 and 3 on Saturday, December
1. Click here to see pictures from the
book.
Diane
is an expert needleworker and her lace has won many awards. She makes both the
very traditional white-thread-on-white-fabric lace and more modern colored
thread and fabric versions. The size of Diane's lace projects vary from
delicate Christmas tree ornaments to table clothes for enormous
feed-all-of-the-family dining tables. She is also a patient teacher who loves
to demonstrate making Hardanger lace. She happily explains what she is doing
and tells you more about this beautiful art form. Diane will be at
Ingebretsen's on Saturday, December 1, from 1 to 5 and Sunday, December 2, from
1 to 4.
And
what about the glögg? No Yuletide is complete without cups of this
warm, spicy beverage. Almost all northern cultures have some versions of this
warming drink, but we think that the Swedes developed the best. The important ingredients of raisins,
almonds, and pepparkakor (ginger cookies) certainly make it the most
substantial. Since mixing the requisite
spices for a cup of glögg
can be time consuming, we offer a glögg
concentrate which makes it easy to make a cup or a pot. We invite you to spend some time with
us. Enjoy watching and talking to our
talented guests.
We’d love to see you again,
Diane and staff
Ingebretsen’s
PS If you notice a For Sale sign on our
building, it is for the building only.
Ingebretsen’s will continue in this location; we are not leaving.
