Flower Arranging Birthday Pary

What a fun Creative Birthday Party we had today!!

We asked the owner of Courtyard Gardens in Everson if she would allow us to have a party in her shop. Then teach us to make an arrangement out of our Garden clippings. We all were in flower heaven & were inspired to keep those summer bouquets multiplying!! Out of the box birthdays are best!!

The preserving solution recipe we were thrilled to learn was 2T lemon juice, 2 t. sugar & 1/4 t. bleach!! Yeah!!!

Ormolulu

Ormolulu represents a combination of elegance and whimsey. It's a reminder that we shouldn't take life so seriously! Have some fun.

Debi's booth at our show is always a busy one, and her arrangement usually wins a prize for creativity.

We are excited to have her here once again this Spring, and know you will enjoy "hunting" in her booth.

Back Lane Gardens

Woweee, we have been so busy with last minute details, getting ready for the show next week, that we just haven't had time to blog!

Linda DeBoer, of Back Lane Gardens, has been in our show for many years. She always brings the spirit of Spring with her, and this year we are particularly looking forward to it.

As you can see in these pictures, she will have early flowers for you to plant, and plenty of yard art.

Linda is a certified Master Gardener, so be sure to come see her and stock up on herbs and flowers. Oh, she also makes the most wonderful soaps!

Garden Show Inspiration

The Seattle Garden Show was very creatively inspiring this year!! Going to Shows really helps me see what works and what people like in a show.

This pot I loved because it had lots of great variety, texture and it inspired me to do something similar. I had to show you!! I really loved all the gardening, and plant booths, it made spring feel close, and it is!! Only 4 weeks away!!

Rose Marie Gallery

We are pleased to have Rose marie gallery in our Show. She has the most beautiful designer fabrics.

She will be at the Northwest Garden Show in Seattle this weekend. I cannot wait to see her booth. I love fabric so I have to check out her great selection.

Recycle, Repurpose, Go Green

Linda Bylsma from Lost River Alpacas is busy making crafts for you out of "found treasures". These days, they call that repurposing. At her booth at the Lynden Craft and Antique Show, you will find aprons made from used jeans and overalls, sachets made from formal dresses, and hats made from wool sweaters. There will be many other items to shop for, including luxurilous yarns produced with the fiber from her very own alpacas!

We have a great line up of vendors for our upcoming Show.
