As usual I am behind on getting our newsletter updated, but here it goes. We have had a very busy summer, It seems the items we have been picking up at auctions and estate sales have been going real fast. Many don't last a week. So check back often if your looking for that shabby chic item or something different for your garden.We just put fall out last week, and it is going fast, I have all ready called to reorder some items and we have much more coming weekly. Joanne has her fall screens paintings out along with some fall painted colors of tubs, ladders,etc. Karl's fall metal items are out on display, along with a new oil can pumpkin face, but they go as fast as he puts them out, and there are limited quantities on these items.  He has also made a large peacock bird and a different style of owl.

Here at Gold'n Country Gifts, Home and Garden Decor. We thrive on recycle, reuse, rethink. Our outside garden area is packed with items that have been saved from landfills. Some of the reclaimed items are LP tanks, old garden tools, doorknobs and milk cans, that are made into garden critter art, such as shovel birdbaths, pipe wrench dragonflies, bugs, chain snakes. Our daughter paints on salvaged wood screens, old shovels and washtubs. Reclaimed cast iron sinks are turned into planters, iron baby beds are used for garden trellis, old bed springs are turned into sheep. Recycled metal ice chest and old metal mop pails are turned into water fountains in the summer. Barn boards and old windows are used for window cupboards. We have even taken five old old French doors and made a garden room. We've used old jars and spice bottles by filling them with old vintage ornaments and old buttons, salvaged prisms from old chandeliers are used for ornaments. Old colored wine glasses are hung in our garden trees for color. Toboggans are made into shelf units, old sleds and skates are made into winter porch arrangements. Wreaths are filled with vintage Christmas ornaments. I could go on for hours, the ideas we have are endless and so much fun, come and see for your self. It is ever changing.
