Herb Garden Plant Markers by Nina Gibson Designs, $28
Parsley, Sage, Rosemary & Thyme
She once was a true love of mine
Perfect little markers for your window herb garden. They are made from nickel metal, or German silver. I’ve cut strips of metal and fashioned a stake point on one end and filed the edges so they are smooth. Then I stamped each little stake with an herb name. You can purchase the parsley, sage, rosemary, & thyme pictured, or specify the plant names you like in your buyer’s notes. They can also be customized with a name or any other word (Numbers are also available). Markers are made to order.
These little stakes are approximately 2 1/8 inch (around 55 mm) long and 1/4 inch (6mm) wide. They are small, so they are great for potted plants. This sale is for one set of four stakes at $7 each.
Wire Nest with Seed Cake Egg by Oopsie Daisy Design, $8
This is a must have! Every bird lover will enjoy watching the birds perch on the edge of the wire nest to enjoy a snack. Each nest is made of tightly wrapped wire and is decorated with rusty tin die cuts in the shape of dragon flies, bees, lady bugs, bird houses, birds, stars, or hearts. One solid seed egg is included. The nests are refillable with our seed eggs which come in bags of 3 or cartons of 6. A perfect gift or treat for yourself.
Self-Watering African Violet Pot by One Wintry Night, $28
These are my take on traditional African Violet pots. The outer pot is wheel-thrown stoneware. The inner pot is wheel-thrown eartherware, which is porous enough for water to wick through. The outer pot is about 7 1/2 inches in diameter, the inner pot about 4 inches.
The pots are designed to keep violets constantly watered, but not overwatered. There is no need to water the violets directly - just keep water in the outside bowl.
These pots also work well for any plant that likes to be uniformly watered, and to be on the dry side.
Farmer’s Hand Salve by Sugarwood Naturals, $6.50
- Softens and heals dry, cracked skin.
- Super thick formula, melts quickly leaving a wonderful protective barrier.
- Contains sunflower oil infused with calendula, nettle, chamomile and plantain - all known for their healing properties.
- Orange, eucalyptus and lavender essential oils have been added for their antiseptic and healing properties. They also give the salve a clean, fresh scent.
- Packaged in a rugged metal 2 oz. tin.
- All natural.
Our Farmers Hand Salve can be used throughout the day, but works best when applied just before bedtime or after scrubbing your hands with our Farmers Scrub Soap. You will be amazed at the results the next morning. Works great on cracked heels too!
Ugly Plant Pot Stones by Spiderling Art, $10.50
Set of three little stones to liven up your plant pots (or anywhere else you fancy!). They’re hand sculpted from stone effect polymer clay and have black glass bead eyes.
The smallest measures 2.5cm/1″ across, the middle one is 3cm across (just under 1 and 1/4 inches) and the biggest is 3.5cm (just under 1 and 1/2 inches).
Mystery Fern Bottle by Leaves of Clay, $23
This is a little bottle made of stoneware clay fired to cone 6. The glaze on the rim and on the inside is a mottled blue and tan color. The outside is imprinted with leaves that grow in the Appalachian Mountains. The veins of the leaves were intensified by painting and rubbing an oxide on the surface. This oxide is permanent. The bottle is 2 and 3/4 inches tall and 3 and 1/2 inches wide. The leaves are a mystery fern (yet to be identified), nettle, white oak, skunk meadow rue, oregano, tulip poplar, wild grape vine, violet, and sage.
Frida Garden Apron by Hot Dish, $50
I love Frida Kahlo, who she was, what she did, everything! This fabric depicts Frida in the garden.
This Hot Dish signature apron is backed with an extra layer of canvas for sturdiness. It has many pockets for all your garden items that we are always misplacing in the dirt such as shovels, seeds, ties, ipod, and sunglasses. It has a loop on each side for hanging tools too. The waist and neck ties are made with sturdy nylon.
Prewashed and dried in biodegradable laundy detergent this apron is 24.5″ long and 25.5″ wide across the waist/hips with 21″ neck ties on each side and 32″ waist ties on each side.
