Hello Hermine...

We don't get a lot of hurricanes in north central Texas. Tornadoes...yes...high winds...yes...droughts...yes...but hurricanes are a rare deal.

Hurricane Hermine has made its way up the state of Texas (I am not a big fan of road trips myself) and while it is not packing much of a punch it is dropping tons of rain on our area.

I love rainy days!

Labor Day Weekend...

What a gorgeous weekend! The weather was beautiful and I hope everyone got out to enjoy it. The forecast calls for rain...and lots of it...for our part of the world for the next several days.

The pecan crop is looking great though. While farmers never want to complain about rain...they just usually complain about the lack of it...we do not need just tons this time of year. However, I know Jake, Dad, and all the guys out in Charlie will do their best to keep the orchards and the crops in tip-top shape to get ready for harvesters come mid October.

New Crop Pecans are only about 45 days away...unless Mother Nature has other plans!

Sale, Sale, Sale!!!

While I know it is still 110 degrees outside, we have fall and winter gift items arriving daily. (The retail world is always a season or two ahead of the calendar.)

So we are having a SALE! Lots of Texas and western gifts, collectibles, and souvenirs are on sale as well as t-shirts, candles, purses, and other home decor items.

Stop in and check out the items that are priced to move as well as see what all we have new in stock!

Gifts for Guys...

Okay, Okay...I know I am a girl and being so I tend to buy "girlie" things for the Pecan Shed. I have never been good at buying gifts for the guys in my life and most of them can vouch for that fact. Now I am the "Queen of the Gift Card". However, I have gotten better at buying "guys gifts" for the Pecan Shed...with the help of my staff!

We now have items like the Jalapeno Grillers that are great alone or combined with our "Bags of Smoke" and "Grills Gone Wild" cookbooks. Throw in a Texas butcher style apron and you have got a really great gift for any guy and any occasion!

We also just got in a new shipment of our Jack Daniel's Whiskey Praline flavored pecans which are yummy and as the saying goes...it is 5 o'clock somewhere. Also, in gearing up for the upcoming hunting season, we now have Bourbon Praline Pecans done up in a "Mossy Oak" camo package that is perfect for any hunter (male or female).

And, back by popular demand, we have Cajun Roasted pecans. This treat is way too spicy for my taste buds but would be great for the more adventurous eaters out there!

Oh...by the way...we also have gift cards available too!!!

Dublin Dr. Pepper is Back...

Thanks to a recent road trip, Molly was able to swing by the Dublin Dr. Pepper Store and pick up several cases of Dublin Dr. Pepper 8 ounce bottles. We have 6-packs available for $7.95 each. We also have in stock the Dublin Dr. Pepper Cake and Frosting Mixes. These items make great gifts for family or friends or to treat yourself to a little something special after a long hot summer day.
