Inside The Polished Apple

Its one of our favourite times of the year!! We have 12 days of Celebration planned for you-yummy treats in the office, a craft to make, and prizes to win.  We will also be collecting food for the Bownesian Free Little Pantry now through the end of December. Donations earn you an entry into our Grand Prize-a Christmas basket from Bownesian Grocer .
