Antique Show 2011

Our Antique show at Georgian Place was a great success! The weather was beautiful Saturday and Sunday had a shower go thru early then cleared up.

We even had a bus stop and check us out!

People waiting to check out at our shop "Sugar Grove Herbs"

Don't worry, we still have plenty of bargains left if you couldn't make it to the show. Beautiful hanging baskets and herbs or Tea to be iced so you can cool off on hot summer nights.Maybe Antiques are your thing - we have 18 vendors with their unique wares!

Fairy Garden

The fairy garden is coming along fine. The grandchildren love hearing all the folklore about the plants in the garden, such as the foxglove which the fairies use for their clothes. Then there is the thyme that is a must for them to sleep upon. One evening as the fireflies started to appear, my grandson got very excited and was sure he saw the fairies moving about the garden. We watched and listened as we talked about how the fairies love to dance and needed the light to see and the bluebells provided their music. We also placed some jewels about the garden because they like shiny objects, but made sure we did not add any metal items. We also added a gazing ball because as you know fairies are very vain! It is a great way to get the kids involved with gardening and add a little adventure at the same time.
