A Letter from Alex: Merry Christmas!

The holiday rush is wrapping up and before we all start celebrating with family and friends, I want to send a thank you to all of you. This has been a wild year: We expanded, grew, evolved, and met amazing new friends along the way. All of this was possible entirely because of your constant support, motivation, and encouragement.  A lot of people claim that customers are also their friends, but how lucky am I to be able to really mean it?! The store has become a place where we can all catch up, gossip, laugh, meet new people, and just have fun.

Couches, tables, desks, dishes, art… so much is planned for the new space. My favorite new piece is a couch that is delayed (like everything today), but it will be an amazing addition in September! Over the next few weeks the space will be filling up and we will be hosting an expansion party in...

A Letter From Alex: It's the Most Wonderful Time of the Year!

Apple cider doughnuts, oversized scarfs, holiday candles, crisp nights, festive parties, family and friends, presents, evergreens, carol singing, cashmere everything...  It is my favorite time of year and I cannot wait to share my love of the holiday season with you!  We have been open for about two months and already feel like Pine Plains is home. Everyone has been so welcoming and supportive. To thank you all for making us a part of your community, I would like to invite all of you to Demeter Home this holiday season. Join us before and after the holiday light parade on November 27th and at our holiday party on December 4th. We will have holiday treats, drinks to warm you up, and...
