Light up your Home for the Holidays

There are so many ways to bring the ambiance of light into your home. We have in stock a large assortment of battery operated waxed dipped candles. Battery operated or electric lights on wired branches come in several styles and sizes. They look great tucked into arrangements of fall leaves or Christmas greenery. Our wax battery operated pillars also come in many different sizes. With a timer feature, you can set it to come on everyday for five hours and automatically turn on and off. We also have pillars with a remote control feature. Wax dipped tea lights and pillars look so realistic with silicone tipped flame.
Replaceable batteries make this not only safe but very affordable to use.
Fill your home with light this season. As the nights get a little longer and we spend a little more time in our homes, it's the perfect way to make it cozy and inviting.

Summer Sampling! For your Outdoor Space!

Just a Small Sampling of our Summer Selection! The Wind Chimes are made from vintage silver ware. Each one is unique and different with beaded details. Hummingbird feeders are hand blown and add a touch of color to your garden. Sometimes it's just those little touches that make a space your own. Our Wind Sculptures have been very popular this year. They make a great focal point and move with even a gentle breeze.
Stop by The Garden Barn and take a look at these and much more!

Creating a Miniature Garden--As seen in Midwest Living Magazine

See us in the current issue of Midwest Living Magazine! We carry a wide assortment of all the accessories you need to create a little garden haven. You can create a garden of your own!
To order miniatures visit our etsy shop http://www.etsy.com/shop/GardenBarn

This one was planted in an old vintage picnic basket but you can use just about anything that will hold dirt. An old basket, suitcase or vintage drawer would make a great container. Add a trellis, chairs, benches, fencing and paving stones. Then for finishing touches: beeskeps, birdhouses, urns, birdbaths, and even little garden tools. Choose plants according to whether you plan to keep it in shade or sun. This one features angel vine on the trellis and fern. In the small urn is a little sprig of hen and chicks which doesn't require much soil. This is a great project to do with kids or grand kids or for yourself to make the winter just a little greener! They also make a great gift to brighten someones day!

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.
