Great Gifts for Mother's Day

Charm jewelry with a special saying or image makes a meaningful gift !

These "Book Crops" have just arrived! They have the mellow tones of vintage books with heart felt quotes. Would be a very nice graduation gift as well. And in the photo below ...a wire heart holds a small flower vase just perfect for a bouquet of gathered flowers. Combine it with an old frame and vintage music or maybe a crayon colored work of art ... what mom would not be pleased?

Flat wallets in various styles and colors are very popular! Bring Mom and let her pick out her own.

We also have a selection of garden art and trellises. As well as the popular "Angel Vine" in the form of plants or trained topiaries. Be sure to enjoy our display garden and gazebo while you are here.

Spring Opening! April 2nd

Spring is finally here! The robins have made their arrival and the tulips and daffodils are poking out their first green shoots! It's time to celebrate! Join us for our Spring Open House on April 4th and 5th (Sat. from 10-5 and Sun. 2-5) New merchandise is arriving daily and I have been unpacking vintage treasures from winter shopping trips. What an exciting time of year! The Garden Barn will be reopening on April 2nd. We will be open weekly on Thur. Fri. and Sat. from 10-5 and Sun. afternoon from 2-5.

As the cold days of winter continue, it's so inspiring to gather up a stack of seed catalogs and dream of spring days to come. Of course I circle and highlight way more than I can possibly afford or even have time to plant but dreaming is good for the soul.
"There is nothing like a dream to create the future" Victor Hugo

The Joy you give to others...

Somehow not only for Christmas

but all the long year through,

the joy that you give to others

is the joy that comes back to you.

and the more you spend in blessing

the poor and lonely and sad,

the more of your heart's possessing

returns to make you glad.

I love this familiar Christmas poem by John Greenleaf Whittier. Somehow it helps me to focus on the true Joy of the season. And as the Grinch found out, it doesn't always come in packages, boxes and bows. May you have a wonderful Christmas this year.
