Think cool!

It's been a long, hot July so far.  Not to mention dry.  We're using our bird baths to give us some islands of calm and cool. 

Now is a good time to give your yard a pick-me-up with a simple water feature.   Keeping your birdbath clean is easy to do with fresh water, a scrub brush, and a bit of vinegar if needed to clean mineral lines. 





New in June

Scarf slides - a great way to add some new life to your existing scarves.  We also have some jersey scarves (like the one pictured) in a bunch of colors.  The slides, at $11 each,  make great gifts for your "scarfy" friends. 

New to the shop this year are Wall Flowers.  The one pictured is already gone but we keep creating new ones.  They're lightweight floral bouquets that can hang on a wall or your front door.  I've also been doing custom work - you can pick the flowers, berries, or twiggy sprays and I'll put them together.  Took 23 years to have the idea.  I'm good but I'm slow!

Spring 2012

Happy Spring!  And what a spring it's been - long and beautiful.  

It's been awhile since I've posted - a long while, in fact.  I apologize and will do my best to keep this updated so you can see what's going on at The Gables.

We're open Tuesday through Saturday from 10:00 to 4:00.  Hours will be extended in May and by the time Memorial Day is here we'll be open every day. 

New things are arriving every day and I'll post some photos so you can see what's new.

I'm unpacking a lot of garden stuff.  Stakes, balancers, bird baths, and all sorts of garden decor. 

Watch for photos and updates on special deals and events.

Thanks!



New in June

Some of the new jewelry that's recently arrived.  Above is a bracelet from Oreb Lram and a chunky necklace from Embellishments.

No Whining necklaces are flying out the door - creator Jane makes all components and the look is fresh and interesting.

A few Oreb Lram pieces.

The pigs are back!

The steel garden pigs are back in all their glorious, gaudy, outrageous colors.  Love those little piggy snouts and pointy little piggy feet.  This year they have some mushrooms to keep them shaded.

What's New for Spring

We're getting ready for a new season and look forward to seeing everyone in the shop this summer.

Coming up - The Sale starts June 11 and goes for 2 weeks.  Everything in the store and gardens is 15% off!

Events coming up include Art on the Lawn on June 11th, the Garden Party on the following Saturday - June 18th, and a yet-to-be-named wine/tasty tidbits/shopping event on Thursday evening 4-6 PM on June 23rd.

Yesterday I put The Gables on Facebook!  Should be easy to find if you type in "The Gables" and you don't need to join Facebook to see the page.  I'll get up to speed yet.  My husband just ordered a new laptop for us and it should make posting a lot easier so I can keep current information out there. 

Other thoughts - I get kind of tired of only talking about The Gables all the time so I'm thinking of including more information about other local events and businesses.  I'm open to suggestions, so keep in touch.

Is it Spring yet?
