Nestled in a grouping of birch, hemlock, ash and maples sits our roadside Garden Shed, "Posies by Piper ". It’s at the top of a hill on the border of Conway Road in Williamsburg, MA and East Guinea Road in Conway, MA. Patricia Anne Jamrog, owner, got the inspiration for this venture from a childhood roadside stand which she had as a child growing up in the Willimansett Section of her hometown of Chicopee, Massachusetts.

Her Father Edward "Ed" Pelland, who was in the wholesale fruit and vegetable business, decided early on that his oldest daughter, and middle child, needed a summer project to keep her boundless energy and desire for new projects challenged! So each summer on the front lawn of the family homestead on Chicopee Street, Patsy as she was then called by family and friends, set up a vegetable stand. While waiting for customers to stop by, she sat on the family front porch and worked on needlework projects, which her Mom Dorilla "Dot" (Gauthier) Pelland patiently taught her. Sometimes Patsy could convince her friends Dorothy and Cecile to stay a while a play a few games of cards, but usually off they went to have a swim or go off with their families for a vacation. So Patsy was left with her needlework and books for company.

Now, some 60 years later, Patricia has decided to bring her Granddaughter Piper Elizabeth Day into the new venture of a roadside stand. Piper will plant flowers for selling bouquets, Patricia, known as "Nan" to Piper and her younger sister Penley Ann, will sell needlework pieces, lap quilts and doll quilts, which she has crafted under the name "Sugar House Quilts" since her son Kris has a beautiful sugar house on the Property. Kris’ Maple Syrup will also be for sale. Herbs like Parsley, Sage, Rosemary, Thyme, Basil, Dill and more will also be available. Stop by and visit our newly established roadside garden shed opening on Saturday, May 31,2008! Patricia and Piper will welcome you at the Southern End of Conway on 948 East Guinea Road at "Posies by Piper ". Come on Over! You’ll want to come back again and again as we add new plants and quilts to our list. Piper plans to sell ice cold lemonade too!
