A Big Shortbread Day

Today's the Vermont Venture Network presentation, bright and early at the Hilton on the Burlington waterfront.  I'm ready and feeling confident. 

Then I change into my delivery girl clothes and will package and deliver our famous shortbread to some of my favorite customers in the Chittenden County:  Vermont Green Grocer in Richmond, Beaudry's in Huntington, Sweet Clover Market in Essex.  It's flying off the shelves and I'm flying all over Vermont to keep customers in shortbread.  Soon my cute little Saab will need to be traded for a big truck.   

Later this afternoon, I'll be shooting a commercial with my pals from Henhouse Media.  If you do nothing else, go check out their site.  And if you ever meet owner, Johnny Mendez, ask him about his obsession with all things fowl.  His place is loaded with chickens and his story is sure to have you in stitches as it did me.  The creative energy there is outrageously fowl and fun. 

Later this week and into next, we'll be setting up shop in the University Mall and in the Barre Firehouse Craft Shop.  I'll be needing some staffing for the U-Mall gig.  Anyone local want to work at the mall for a few shifts to help me out?  Email me at ann@vermontshortbread.com.   

How many shopping days are there until Christmas?  I still haven't counted.  I probably should.  My busy season officially begins next week.  Is Vermont Shortbread Company ready?  Heck, yeah.  Bring it on.  Order shortbread for Thanksgiving and Christmas now.  You'll be glad you saved yourself the stress that always comes with holiday shopping.  Let us make your 2007 gift giving successful.  We are grateful for you helping to make 2007 our biggest growth year to date!

The Hen House!? This must be where Copy Chicks go when they turn 35. I'd better get over there! Send me the video (like I have to say this.)

Ann,

I enjoyed your presentation at the VVN, but even more, I absolutely loved the shortbread. I must admit I was a little concerned when you described your recipe as producing a "more chewy" shortbread, since I am a purist when it comes to shortbread.

No worry, the shortbread was exceptional and I would say that the slightly chewier (it is slightly) actually enhances the "shortbread experience". I hate to say it, but I consumed the entire shortbread "disc" in my office over a two day period, then spent extra time in the gym to make up for it.

Simply wonderful!!!!

We have my mother's 90th birthday coming up and I will be sending you a re-order in the next two weeks.

best regards,

RB
