Shock and Awe Metal Works

Another new vendor this year expresses the Pacific Northwest in metal sculpture. A resident of Whidbey Island in Puget Sound, he has plenty of inspiration for his work. Steve Nowicki works in his shop at home, and loves his 50 yard commute! You can visit him and see more of his works at his website: Shockandawemetalworks.

Spring is Just Around the Corner

Can you believe it? While the rest of the nation is suffering from record breaking snow and rain, we are having a wonderfully mild winter. The trees are ready to burst forth with blooms, and what does that mean?

It's time for the Lynden Craft and Antique Show!!

This is our 24th year, and we are excited about the new vendors that are joining us. Today we are introducing you to Jan Bode, maker of trendy, stylish and current Doll clothes!

What little girl would not want to have a sleepover with this girlie and her sleeping bag?







Time for a jog? Look at the detail on this sweat suit.

Ready for preshool or a play date, purse is included in this ensemble. Get a load of the pocket detailing!

And just right for tea with Grandmother. Isn't she just sweet?

We hope you will join us, March 18-20 at the Lynden Fair Grounds. And watch for new vendors to be featured here.

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.
