Our annual tent and warehouse sale has been going on and will continue through next weekend (Aug 21st). We've been running this special sale for nearly 20 years now, and it's become a favorite stop for many families, bargain hunters, and Wooden Soldier customers alike.
Our Intervale, NH location is a beautiful spot to have a picnic lunch and take a nature walk around our small pond. There's a beaver family there now, with two baby beavers...so cute. The Canada Geese are also there. Their seven goslings now almost full grown. Last week in the evening my husband spotted a bear on the far side of the pond. Unfortunately, he didn't have his camera. At a tent sale in years past, we even had a moose walk across our parking lot!
The scenery is fantastic and our two outlet stores have year round savings that are worth the trip.
We hope to see you under the Big Top!
Until Aug 21st, 2011
Daily 8:30am-7:00pm
The Wooden Soldier warehouse, Intervale, NH 03845
I am happy to welcome you to The Wooden Soldier blog. My husband and I started our family owned business, The Wooden Soldier, in 1976. Since then we have had many interesting and rewarding experiences including raising a family, developing a business, and enjoying nature in the White Mountains of New Hampshire. I hope you too will find pleasure in my recounting of these tales, as well my continuing thoughts on enjoying times with the ones you love.
In the beginning, our first shop and catalog was run out of an old farmhouse and attached barn that was built around 1876. After my husband and I purchased the building (over forty years ago), we renovated it ourselves, taking care to maintain its original character. To increase the "Old New England" feel, we laid brick pathways, and installed Victorian gas lanterns which illuminate the store fronts and the grassy common. Here we sold traditional wooden toys, fine porcelain dolls, and hand made Christmas ornaments to tourists passing through.
As time progressed, we added children's clothing that matched in style the toys and books we sold. Our wares included such themes as the Beatrice Potter and Paddington Bear series. The new arrival of our two daughters inspired us to expand our selection of children's clothing, as well as our clientele. In 1977, we sent out our first catalog offering heirloom children's clothing, unique Christmas gifts, and ornaments. Over the past 35 years our catalog has expanded, however our small barn store still welcomes customers today. If you are ever in the North Conway, NH area, we invite you to stop by and experience the quaint home of The Wooden Solider. "If you cant get there from here," enjoy our heirloom children's fashions and themed gifts at woodensoldier.com.
