Milford home goods shop hosts annual Polish Pottery sale
This summer's Milford Memories is canceled as is nearly every festival this summer but that doesn't mean Acorn Farm, a local home goods shop, is skipping its annual Polish Pottery sale, which usually coincides with the festival. This year's sale, which starts Aug. 29 and runs Aug. 31 and Sept. 15, will be spread out over several days. "Acorn Farm is spreading the sale over an entire week in order to provide a safe shopping experience for all," according to a press release. High-touch areas will also be cleaned frequently and all staff will be wearing masks. The Unikat pieces will all be 20% off and each day of the sale, shoppers can enter a drawing for a piece of the pottery. Each piece is handmade in Boleslawiec, Poland, by skilled artisans. They are microwave, dishwasher and oven safe. Acorn Farm is at 367 N. Main in downtown Milford. Call (248) 684-1373 for store hours.
