Walk through the Garden!

Just got in at #1 shop some simply adorable topiarys and beautiful flowers...
So come take a walk with me inside the shop, cuz everything outside that is real is pretty much fried from the hot summer temperatures....

So little and cute as far as plants go!

A double topiary nestled on a shelf...

Love this jar with a succulent nestled in sand and sea shells.... not real so it will never die....

This wire cage is flat so it can hang on the wall... What you put in it limitless.... plants, birds, nests on and on and on....

Another topiary.... had so much fun vignetting them around the shop..... they tucked in everywhere! And the red geraniums look so real.... and we all know what the real ones look like in our outside gardens.....


This rose in a green jar, even feels real.... it looks like water in the bottom of the jar...


Orange mini ranoculus nestled in a drawer....

And these succulents all propped in a birdbath... nope they aren't real either....





Lavendar plants....





Hope you enjoyed a little flower power from the cottage garden......

Customer Day!

Wow girls, thank you so much for making my Customer Appreciation Day a rousing success....
so many of you braved the heat and shopped your little hearts out....




Po is one of the newest cottage garden junkies and of course showed up in an outfit she purchased from us....






Dawn all decked out with her beautiful purse that she made..... she is quite talented... and I own two of her beautiful creations.....



Ellen and Dawn enjoying a little break from shopping in the kitchen full of refreshments....



Another cottage garden outfit..... This grey top sold out of fast...



My customers are really becoming hams with me snapping pictures of them in our outfits... Lynn looked so nice and cool in one of our cotton gauze tops...

Didn't get a chance to take too many pictures because we were so busy from the minute we open to well after 5pm.... THANK YOU GIRLS FOR COMING! It was lots of fun seeing you all....

Great Idea!

The #1 shop got a face lift recently..... It is so fresh and clean looking.... It was painted a creamy yellow and a grassy green for the trim.... it looks so cottagy even more.....




The front porch is just so inviting.... well not right now with this hot summer air but once fall hits again I am sure it will be nice to sit and relax on...



We just got in this wonderful mercury glass jars with a lid..... love it!


This sweet bird clouche atop a white pedestal stand.... too sweet!


This whire cage clouche is just too fun to decorate with....


Found these shabby chic drawers and got my decorating gears going what to do with them.... they make the greatest little shelves to prop on a small table or put sawteeth on the back and hang on the wall.....


Absolutely LOVE this one... part of the drawer is missing and it gives so much character to the vignette I created... the bottom of the drawer was slatted too cool!

Don't forget Customer Day is coming up July 16th... 10am - 5pm.. See you then!

Delores popped in with a cottage garden outfit... she looked marvelous...



Miss Amy came a shopping in our tulip clothes which she had purchased on an earlier buying trip.... so great on her.


Then Donna tried on a new outfit from Humming... She bought flip flops, necklace and purse to match... too cute...

Hope to see you all at our Customer Appreciation day this Saturday July 16....
