A new addition to
ShopMartins.com has just arrived and we are so excited!
Gooseberry Patch 
cookbooks are here and are already flying off of our shelves! The
Gooseberry Patch brand has been around for a while and continues to add new collections of tried and true recipes to their assortment.
One of the best things about this brand is that they offer cookbooks that specialize in just about any type of cooking that you can imagine. You can find Christmas cookbooks, slow cooker books, appetizer books, dessert books, healthy books, easy cookbooks, and my favorite- chocolate cookbooks! These are just a fraction of the offerings from
Gooseberry Patch.
As an added bonus, each book also offers tips and advice from cooking to entertaining to craft projects. Some of the books have entire chapters devoted to crafts and how to prepare and package gifts from the kitchen.
Besides offering a variety of cookbook themes, they also have different sizes available. The smaller books retail for $7.95 making them perfect for slipping into a Christmas stocking or a gift basket for the newlyweds. The larger books are twice the size and retail $16.95. You could give these to a favorite teacher, a secret pal or any special cook in your life that needs a pick me up. Don't forget to grab one of yourself too. You'll enjoy hours of fun looking through the pages of your
Gooseberry Patch cookbook and trying out the amazing recipes!

When the weather turns cold, the sky turns gray and the first snowflakes of the season start to fall, I reach for my warmest, softest for comfort. Unfortunately, its use is restricted to home only!
So what's a girl to do when she needs that extra piece of comfort, but doesn't want to sacrifice style? Reach for a knit cape! A simple sweater cape is a stylish topper to any outfit and will keep you warm and cozy on a cold winter day. These knit capes, like the one shown here from
Tribal, are also fantastic for keeping the chill off of you in drafty offices , damp movie theaters, and cold church buildings!
You can choose from patterned capes, shorter caplets, and a variety of solids. Add a punch of color to your outfit with a brightly colored caplet. Capes can be worn with slacks, jeans, leggings, etc... It just depends on how dressy you want to look and what cape style you choose.

Farmer's markets filled with bright pumpkins and fresh apples, the smells of changing leaves and hot cider and a distinct crispness in the air are all signs of my favorite time of year. I love fall because I get to pull out my favorite pants, sweaters, jackets and boots! It feels amazing to wrap myself in layers of soft cottons and chenilles like the ones in
Alfred Dunner's Harvest Moon Group!
These classic
Alfred Dunner styles revolve around a soothing peacock blue and creamy oatmeal color palette. This group has a simple charm, reminiscent of an autumn county fair. A sporty zip up vest matches a variety of the patterned
Harvest Moon tops. You'll find comfort and style in their fuzzy sweaters and feminine, floral jackets. All of these tops complement the moleskin pants and denim pants available with this group, but you could also wear them with dark denim pieces in your own closet.
Currently, you can save 20% off of the new
Harvest Moon Group by
Alfred Dunner. Other gorgeous new groups include the
World Market Groups and
Comfort Zone Group.
