very cherry

Recently I delivered some of our “I’d Rather Be Up North” coffee cups to Benjamin Twiggs. While I was there, I found these very cherry delights. Who can resist chocolate covered cherries.

And the apron is charming in the adult size

but the little girl’s is absolutely adorable.

And if you have to clean, these cheery gloves make the best of it.

These things are great inspiration for National Cherry Festival this weekend. We're participating in the Cherries D'Vine BBQ event and I have to say its the best place to see the Air Show. You have refreshments right there, easy convenient parking and restrooms, plus you can sit outside or if it's too hot you can see the show from the picture windows facing the bay.

What other places have cherry items to get us ready for the National Cherry Festival next week?

Comment by Tessia Klix on July 1, 2009 at 3:57pm: Cherries D'Vine is a blast. Definitely the best place to see the Air Show. My mother and I attended last year. The combination of sun, wine, food, and good people made it my favorite event of the Cherry Festival. I wouldn't miss this one! Imagine parking close, not fighting for a view, and being able to step inside air conditioning any time you want!
