Do you ♥ dogs, cats, bunnies, chicks, roosters?

We've got you covered!! Cute bunnies on chairs....

Kitties sleeping....

Puppies in the flowers....

Chicks on the tables.....

Frogs on the bench....

Deer on the pillows...

Roosters crossing the road (to get to the other side, I guess)....

Birdies in the potting shed....

And in the ephemera corner...

Hopping in and out of the numbered nesting boxes....

All over the place!!!

Garden Art is "In"

The garden show season has ended and the new "must haves" are whimsical garden art. We have lots of it. We are fully stocked with the roosters and hens in various sizes. Depending on the size, they range in price from $50 to $300.

The metal flowers add bling to the garden too. We have various sizes ranging in price from $10 to $85. They are quite a bargain depending on your green thumb ability.

Personally, I love the garden furniture. This is the kind that only increases in beauty if left outside over the winter. Imagine a beautiful bench under a tree in the snow. What a gorgeous and easily maintained focus for the winter garden too! They range in price from $120 to $250.

These topiaries will add height to the garden too. Nothing is more boring than a garden all at one level. These topiaries will bring the eye up so you can enjoy the blue skies we have to look forward to this spring and summer.

The garden carts are a real eye catcher. They can be filled with flowers now and greenery for Christmas. They are priced at $80.

The baker's rack can work in the garden, kitchen and even the bath. They are $210. What a grand way to store your microwave, bowls, pots and pans in the kitchen or even towels and toiletries in the bathroom.

These fence pieces could even be used as a headboard or room divider. They start at $115.

And we have the perfect gift for the cat or dog lover....they are $56.


So come on in and get a jump start on the garden. We are open Wednesday through Saturday from 11 am to 5:30 pm at Division and Main in Gresham, Oregon.

Spring Is Coming Early This Year

The weather here in Gresham, Oregon has been absolutely gorgeous and is suppose to continue for several more days. It has been pretty cool when the sun goes down though. Here at the shop we have been trying to lighten up the look and get ready for spring. The garden stuff is coming in and we have the shop filled to the brim with "new to us" things. We have lots of cute Easter stuff too.

Sonya has been busy crafting things. She is so good at mixing things up a little.



I love these "Little Peeps" boxes. They make such a sweet display for spring.







This doll is a very old, handmade "Mammy" doll. The fabric is so darling and she sits atop a sand filled stand. Someone made her with a lot of love.


Come on in and check the transitional look out. We are just starting to get into the spring/summer merchandise. And also, there is another great restaurant at Main Square...it is called "Sweet Betty's" and serves great breakfasts and lunches. Take a quick trip out and enjoy breakfast and then come shopping! See you soon.

Browse Around

The shop is full of great items. Here is a chance to browse around the whole shop online. Garden greats you at the door. During Christmas we placed Christmas balls in the pond. We are looking forward to spring so we can float real flowers in the water!


I love this couple...they are figures for bonsai. How about some indoor gardening?

This little doll is a clothes brush and the book is "A Warning to Lovers." I wonder what the warning is? The inside of the book is beautiful.

A doll head in the nest? Does she have spring on her mind? A little birdie is telling her a secret.

We have preserved the sound of the waves under glass. The beach is a little too stormy for me right now but I do look forward to hearing the crash of the waves.

The weather we are having is perfect for the ducks. This guy reminds us of that for sure!

Our metal items are fully stocked and a little secret: the reverse side of this sign says "Go Away" so depending on your mood you can display it prominently.

Here is an overview of the north wall of the store....

down the hall.....
past the garden arbor with the fish out of water sitting on the bench...

past the linen section...


and into the back room.

We have a lot of pictures and metal signs, both old and new...

and a wonderful farmer's table to sit at while you take it all in.

And the metal items are fully stocked too. Lots of hooks, door knockers, and brackets.

The garden baskets could be used to store towels in the bathroom or fill with moss and ornaments until spring rolls around.

Start dreaming about gardening and set up a great bird house for your outdoor buddies.

Old letters with wonderful script would be fun to use in scrapbooking.

We have lots of cute ephemera for collages or old rubber stamps for spelling out your name.

We look forward to seeing you at the shop real soon. The inventory continues to fill it up with new things every time we open the doors.

The Weather Outside is Frightful

We are all snuggled up and cozy...what is this white stuff that the weatherman said would be rain?
New merchandise is arriving daily as we transition out of the antique mall we were in and start bringing it all into the shop.

Lots of furniture to make room for so if we have to start stacking it, we will! We need to start with a little rearranging but we love doing that as it gives us a chance to mix it up and make new displays.

We are now going back to our regular open days of Thursday, Friday, Saturday from 10:00 to 5:30. But if the sign is out, we are in as we start the big move after New Year's Day.

Home for the Holidays?

What home for the holidays might look like if we had our way:

There might be room at the table for everyone! And get a load of those legs! All that for only $125.00.



Pretty and relaxing with a little bit of color and a lot of comfort thrown in!



Great reading material and a little birdie to watch over you!

Enough room to store all the great gifts, mittens, boots, school books, bags, and junque with a chalkboard finish so you can identify the contents.
