A Bit of Country will be closing the end of July 2020.  Not due to all that is transpiring at this time – but part of a 5-year plan.  Make note of this change in our hours:

We want to keep you informed about changes at A Bit of Country during this time of the COVID-19 outbreak emergency. This is a complicated time for all workplaces and difficult decisions must be made.
We are going to follow Gov. Wolf’s order by closing the shop beginning Tuesday (March 17) – shortening our workday by opening later and closing earlier. The reason for being here at all is because we have special orders coming in for customers and as long as they are being delivered, we will be here to accept shipment and get those orders into your hands.
We want to keep communication open concerning this closure and our progress in closing the shop the end of May. Watch for updates here at our blog, Facebook.com/abitofcountrygiftshoppe or in your email. Our phone number is 717-630-8390 (there is no voicemail).
Be safe 💕

A Bit of Country is taking orders for daffodils and tulips thru February 24.  Stop in or give us a call 717.630.8390 with questions and to place your order.  Flowers will be available March 25 for pick up.

Found some photos from when we moved into our new location in 2015.  All 3 pictures were taken from the same spot in the shop – befores and after!

After 17 years, Deb is retiring in the next 6 months and A Bit of Country is for sale.  The next couple months will be business as usual.  We’ll keep everyone informed with any updates as they may happen!  If you know of someone who would love to have their own retail business, let us know!!

In August, we begin the early transition into the fall season.  After a particularly hot, humid summer – folks are usually ready for the cooler, crisper weather we begin to see beginning in September.  And though we know that buying mums, pumpkins and other fall décor will not make those cooler days come any sooner – it raises our hopes that they will be here soon!

Fall gifts and décor are still arriving at the shop, but we are showing off what we do have now.  In addition, we are having our Fall Open House the weekend after Labor Day.

This year has been quickly zipping on by.  It’s hard to believe we are already looking at a new season coming in just over a month!  Our Fall Open House has been scheduled in September, and you are invited to come by and see what’s new for us here!

When you come in this weekend, we’ll take 25% off any already red stickered sale priced goodies!  You will find other items at 50% off regular price throughout the shop!!

And see what we checked in this week – our first shipment of 2020 Calendars!  We have cloth calendar towels and a nice assortment of wall calendars (2 different sizes) and more will continue to come in for awhile.  Each year, we have new calendars on sale at 15% off regular price until August 31.  Come in early for the best selection . . . there will not be any special reorders later this year

Have a great July 4th holiday!  A Bit of Country will be closed the entire day!  We look forward to seeing you soon!

We are a smallish, local business here in Hanover and right now there’s just two of us “holding down the fort” during our regular 6-days-a-week hours.  Usually, on a holiday, we might shorten our day, BUT this year we unanimously decided that the shop would be closed the whole day for this July 4th holiday. 

We will jump right back to our normal schedule Friday July 5th, after we’ve had a chance to picnic, swim, watch fireworks and whatever else happens to be available on the 4th.  To everyone else out there – have a fun and safe holiday!
