CHRIS’MUS...With Gullah Gourmet

Gullah Gourmet Shrimp and Grits
     At Haj-Paj Boutique we just restocked our favorite comfort food from the extensive, delicious line of foods from Gullah Gourmet out of Charleston, South Carolina.  These foods have sold quickly each and every time we get new shipments.  This is the time of the year when you love to have good, hot foods in the house, but you don't have time to cook them.  These Gullah foods are so easy to prepare and can be thrown together at the last minute when friends and family gather.
     We last explored the Gullah traditions in our post back in March of this year. Read the post and see our other Gullah Gourmet products here: Flabuh...A history of the Gullah tradition The past blog posting told of how the Gullah history played a part in the creation of the company Gullah Gourmet. We have restocked all the old favorites and have added three new ones just in time for your holiday entertaining.

     Mornin' Glory is a black walnut syrup that adds that sweet, nutty flavor to your flap jacks, waffles, and french toast.  It would be such an awesome addition to ice cream, too! Yum, can't you just taste the sweetness right now?
      Lobsta Pasta is out-of-this-world great! The white sauce will make you "Slap Yaself Silly" and delight your taste buds.  The bag contains angel hair pasta and a wonderful cream sauce.
       Can't Miss Seafood Bisque is a white sauce based bisque that is "lip-smaking" good and warms you on those cold winter afternoons.  You just "can't miss" it!








     Stop in soon and join us in a tasting of all of these new delights!  And as always, Haj-Paj Boutique wishes each one of you a safe and warm Holiday Season!

Abilene Boots...New Styles just In!

     Since we started carrying Abilene boots at Haj-Paj Boutique in July, these boots have literally been running out of the store!  Our customers have been so impressed with the leather quality, the workmanship, the style, the comfort, and best of all, the PRICE.  All of us in the store own a pair...actually we all own the same pair...the 9027 and we have no problem wearing them all day without a complaint of discomfort (and some of our feet are older than others!).
     We wear them with a variety of looks...from straight-leg jeans tucked in to boot cut jeans worn outside to sassy little dresses...there is nothing that you can't wear with these boots.
The 4551
     We added two new boot styles to our stock that we just received late last week and we wanted you to be the first to know.  The 4551 is made of what Abilene calls "Brown Bomber Jacket" leather with a bronze leather cross and trim. The snip toe is adorned with actual bronze metal accents.  And just for a little height and walking comfort, the 4551 has a 1 1/2 inch heel.
The 9012
     The second style we received is the 9012.  This deep brown boot is made with a "Waxed Cowhide" and sports a hand laced detail on the 11" shaft. The sole of the boot is all leather as well and the boot features what Abilene calls a "covered wagon toe" which we think looks like a more rounded snip toe. Like the 4551, it also has the 1 1/2 inch heel.
     As all Abilene boots are, these boots are made in America with fine American craftsmanship. The Abilene Boot Company has been making boots for over 30 years and has developed a reputation for it's exceptional quality at exceptional affordability.  And don't forget its patented Air Ride Comfort System...all you can say is "AAHHHHH" at the end of the day!
     One last note concerning Abilene boots and some things we hear from customers.  When listening to our customers we sometimes hear that they think their "calves are too big" to wear cowboy boots...well, we say No Way!  We carry a short boot with a 9 inch shaft especially made for ladies with this complaint.  It is also kickin' hot! The 9151 is made with a Brandy-colored soft textured cowhide with an all leather outsole and a snip toe.
     So ladies, nothing is stopping you from coming to Haj-Paj Boutique today and purchasing a new pair of
The 9151
Abilene Boots.  Don't forget, they make an awesome Christmas gift for someone special on your list this year.  Make sure you drop the appropriate number of Holiday Hints that you too want a boot box under your tree this Christmas!  Call us at 336-940-5501 if you want to place an order or have any questions for us.  Talk to you soon...Happy Shopping!
