Americana Week
Americana week is July 1-7 and applies to all bookings and both studios automatically. No extra fee. We love our country and wanted a way to celebrate it in the studio. The clothesline has unique Americana linens, a huge vintage flag hangs at the entrance of the Glassholm and the front of the cottage is completely decked out with red, white and blue. Come and enjoy these fun sets!
Fall:
Fall will begin in the Glassholm Friday, August 1st
Fall in the outdoor studio will have pumpkins as soon as pumpkins are available - usually mid-September. Our clothesline will also have some bright orange and soft Fall themed linens available with our traditional linens. Our mini greenhouse beside the clothesline will be completely decked out in decor.
Christmas:
Christmas in the Glassholm begins October 24th and we will be having an open studio event Thursday, October 23rd for those who RSVP
Christmas in the cottage begins mid-October. This will include restroom access, kitchen and living room in an open concept first floor. $200/hr with a 3 hour minimum. Both the outdoor and Glassholm studios are included in this listing so you get 3 studios!
Christmas in the outdoor studio begins Friday, November 14 and we will have a Christmas Tree Farm set by the 14th! SOO excited for this!
Our clothesline will also have Christmas linens available with our traditional linens.
Our Christmas set will have a similar vibe to last year - think warm, vintage cottage meets old world Christmas.
Our clothesline will be staying through 2025! Starting in the Fall, you will likely need to add the linens yourself. They're located in the mini greenhouse beside the clothesline. We will have special holiday linens available for Fall, Christmas and Valentines.
Valentine's will begin mid-January
I'd love to give you a tour anytime! We love meeting you before your sessions if at all possible. Enjoy the season! -Ashley and Tom
