The "Festival of Holidays" kicks off on Fri., Nov. 2, with an opening night reception from 7:00 to 9:00pm.

Games, gadgets, Solmate socks and colorful quality pot holders stock the shelves to the brim. The Old Stone Store has more ornaments than ever! Some of the new items this year include boxed sea salt caramels and locally-made Berkshire Bark chocolate bars. In addition to elegant leather pocketbooks crafted right here in Sheffield, we have introduced a line of beautiful William Morris tapestry handbags and playful, free-trade leather purses. Matted antique maps of Berkshire towns are back on the shelves along with a wide variety of sophisticated, whimsical, & cuddly warm scarves. Don’t forget the gourmet sweet and savory homemade jams, cookie kits, and nut and candy mixes prepared by our dedicated volunteers. Buy one as a gift and one for the “elf” in yourself!
