It is halloween! Happy Halloween to all!
FALL at BRICK HOUSE FABRICS
As fall days shorten, and the leaves tumble off of the trees, it is a great time, when traveling to see more of Maine than one does in the summer! With the leaves off of the trees and bushes one can see through to the granite ledges and stones that Maine is made of.
