How Does Your Garden Grow??

 Tis' the season for working out in the yard and garden...I have decided after all the hardwork of raking, planting, mulching and then repeating after a West Texas hail storm that it is nice to treat yourself! So many cute garden items in for your backyard retreat or Mother's Day coming up!
 Does your mother love working out in the yard or patio? Let us fill one of these great rustic totes with cute garden hooks, cast iron accessories for the patio, Crabtree's Gardner Hand Therapy....tie a pair of new gardening gloves in the bow! A great gift!
 These bee plates would be so cute to set your patio table for a morning breakfast...or hanging as an art collection on a wall...each plate is different!
 We still have lots of beautiful and bright spring and summer florals to brighten a spot in your home or fill a basket or container for your front door!
The shop is filled with wonderful finds for the season we would love to help you pull a look together for this Spring and Summer!

Rustic Farmhouse Dining Table

Handcrafted by skilled artisans of old, reclaimed walnut and pine from century-old barns and houses, these stunning pieces will add a distinctive touch to any space. The age and history of the wood gives this table a unique touch really would love for it to go home with me...Would seat quite a few people and would be great for large get togethers! Yet it is the perfect size because it is not too large for a smaller space in your home...Special Price $1,595.0

We still have mouse problems....

 If you haven't seen our little handmade wool mice you must come look at them! One might end up hitching a ride home with you and end up in a tea cup or saucer, or peaking out from behind a book in a hutch! It's funny they find a new home and then we get photos from customers of where they have placed their new mouse friend. Where would you put your new pet mouse?
Precious wrapped in a bow on a package or a little mouse gift just because you love someone!



Raspberry Brie Grilled Cheese Sandwich

 Ingredients
8 slices crusty bread (such as rosemary, whole grain, peasant or sourdough)
1/4 – 1/2 cup Red Raspberry Jam (Pick Up Your Jar At Bonnes Amies)
12 ounces Brie cheese, sliced
2-4 Tablespoons melted butter or light olive oil

Directions
Place bread slices on a clean work surface. Generously spread the Raspberry Jam over four slices of bread. Top with Brie cheese and finish with another slice of bread. Butter or oil the outer sides of bread.
Saute sandwiches over medium heat until golden brown on both sides and the cheese has melted. A panini maker can also be used. Cut sandwiches in half and serve.
Enjoy the tantalizing flavor of sun ripened red raspberries all year long with Red Raspberry Jam. One taste will bring back memories of fun visits to pick-your-own raspberry farms. This sweet and slightly tart red raspberry jam livens up any bread or dessert. Mix it in oatmeal or surprise someone by drizzling some over vanilla ice cream. Wouldn't some red raspberry jam taste good right now?
