WINE AND DIP PARTY SHINES AT GARDENING IS GOOD FOR YOU


SHINE is exactly what the sun did for our 
WINE AND DIP PARTY 
featuring Wines from Rimann Liquor 
and dips by Nina Ward.  
It was a beautiful day, everyone was feelin' fine 
and the garden exploded with blossoms. 




Mary enjoys the chance to introduce an interesting 
new family of wines.  She is sampling Happy Camper 
wine featuring an Airstream Trailer on the lable.




A chatty guy sporting a wine shirt tries out one of
 Howard Huggins' custom made Bistro chairs.  It's so 
comfortable, he may be sitting there still.

FESTIVE FLAG STAKE


Robin Mackintosh had some free time waiting for customers to check out at our Spring Retail Event.  I gave her some brushes, paints in our spring color palette and some recycled canvas from another project.  She had a ball painting stripes and dots and then took the fabric home and came up with these really fun outdoor garden flags which just happen to fit our new flag stakes perfectly!
These flag stakes are versatile and can be used to announce special events, highlight a spot in your garden or help create a festive atomosphere for an outdoor celebration.

MOTHER'S DAY- BEAUTIFUL DAY TO BE OUTSIDE!

Tori grabbed the camera during out sales event on Mother's Day and captured her fellow studio assistants hard at work.

Nathan and Davey are putting the finishing touches on the last of the sample quilt gardens.  We have five unique gardens created to give people ideas on ways to use our Quilt Garden Stone Collection.

 Emily and Tori usually are hard at work in the outside painting studio in the back.  This weekend they were front and center, busy painting quilt stones and other items at the direction of customers.  People love to choose their colors and watch as their purchases are custom painted.  Emily is finishing up the hanging pieces of a garden stabile sculpture ordered by a customer.

Meanwhile, artist Karen Skillett was busy helping customers put the finishing touches on their gifts for Mom.  Karen just completed this new combination of millefore jewelry freshly available to you at our Spring Retail Event, Gardening is Good for You!
