BUSY BUSY BUSY

Hi Brittle Friends!!

We have not forgot about you!! I know everyone looks forward to our blog posts, only because we are always keeping you up to date with the latest news and we will keep you laughing with our silly stories!!

Let us fill you in on what has been going on with us lately!
First of all, we have been swamped with Christmas orders!! We are asking that all Christmas orders be turned in by December 15th in order to assure delivery by the 25th! If you have any questions or special needs for your order please send us an email at orders@butlersbrittle.com or you can also call us at either of these numbers: 830-534-8245 or 830-477-6139. Remember that if you are in the San Antonio/Floresville area that we will deliver as well! That helps with all those unwanted shipping costs!
Secondly, we have been attending shows around the San Antonio area! We were in Boerne November 13th and 14th, and had a great turn out! This is a picture of our booth :)


We then turned around and had another show at the Milam Building in downtown San Antonio on November 19th! That was a very busy week for us! Not to mention we also have to keep our shop in Fredericksburg stocked, so needless to say we have been at the factory A LOT! This weekend we will be in Castroville, TX at their Old Fashioned Christmas Market. We are looking forward to the turn out since the weather is perfect today and will be tomorrow! We should have a high of 80 degrees tomorrow! That's Texas weather for you! Next weekend on December 11th and 12th we will be at the Boerne Market Days again. The expected attendance should be around 6,000 people or so! We are so excited to go! We will then end the year with one more show for December at the Milam Building Downtown on December 15th!
And last but not least, I wanted to bring everyone's attention to how much brittle we have made so far for this brittle season. We are at about 1,200 lbs. so far! That is not including our next two shows and all of our Christmas orders!
We will try to keep you updated and let you know what is going on with us, but as you can see we are busy busy busy!
Please remember to have your Christmas orders in by December 15th!

Have a wonderful weekend!

What a weekend!

Wow, what a busy, busy weekend at the brittle factory.  On Saturday the employees (Tisha, Lauren and Kirsten) did a complete inventory and reorganization of the supply warehouse.  Man, was that ever a bunch of work!  But it is so much better now that we can see all the cute items we have to put in our gift baskets and other items for sale.  You really do want to place an order with us; we promise that you won’t be disappointed.  We even have our own Butler’s Brittle Beverage that we will be putting in baskets and mugs so be on the watch for that.

On Sunday the factory was in full swing…as we made about 130 pounds of brittle.  The weather was absolutely perfect and we were turning out brittle that is nothing short of LUSCIOUS!  The factory will be open all this week as we prepare for the Boerne Market Days and also all of our other orders that we have.  Sooooo….be sure to stop by our facebook page, we are running another contest and I know you will want to enter for YOUR chance to win some of our delicious brittle and other goodies.  Till next time….

ButlersBrittle.com

So sorry to have been gone for so long….we had a little shopping extravaganza that we went on and while there we “checked out” some of our competition.  Oh my…we don’t have anything to worry about!! LOL

If you haven’t had a chance, check out our website at butlersbrittle.com.  There you will find the newest spokesperson for Butler’s Brittle, almost 3 year old Noah.  He is the great-nephew of the CEO (Tisha) and she is his “YaYa”.  Isn’t he such a little doll?  His “photo shoot” was fun to do, he had just come back from taking his Halloween pictures and he was very excited to show YaYa his “Thomas the Train” pictures.  He did such an awesome job posing for his mom (who is a wonderful photographer) and he was very proud that he was helping his YaYa!

The factory will be in full swing this weekend, preparing for the Boerne Market Days next weekend. If you are in the area, be sure to stop by and say hi, and maybe pick up a bag or 2 of brittle. We will have both Thanksgiving and Christmas items available.  Talk to you soon and here’s to a happy hump day!

Come and GET YOU SOME!

Hello all my brittle friends….bet you didn’t know there are only 65 days left in 2010.  Isn’t that just crazy?  Oh how time really does fly, especially when you are making and filing brittle orders!  Kudos to all of our brittle fans in Fredericksburg, Texas who bought 62 pounds of brittle in 8 days!! Whoo Hooo!!!!

I also wanted to let you know, just in case you might not have realized it…..but brittle isn’t just for the Holidays anymore!!! That’s right, brittle is awesome any time of the day, any day of the week, any week of the month…I think you get it!!  I’m sure a lot of you have said “I think I’ll order some of that for Christmas gifts”, or “That will make a great treat for the Holidays”.  Well I am here to tell you that you need to order YOURSELF some right now!  The time is now to get some of that LUSCIOUS brittle and see for yourself what all the rave is about. We even received a phone call from someone who used to make it all the time and she said “I will be ordering 4-5 gallons at a time; it’s the best brittle we’ve ever had.  Now there, that ought to convince you that Butler’s Brittle really is the best brittle this side of…..well anywhere!

Please let us know how we can make your day a Butler’s Brittle Day!
