Des Moines

I had a really nice weekend at my show in Des Moines.I saw many customers that I met in the booth last year and lots of new faces. There will be lots of flowers and birdhouses in the gardens of Iowa this spring. Thank you to everyone who stopped in to buy or say hi! On a personal note, I drove down a day early to avoid a snow storm and was able visit the Sticks gallery in West Des Moines. The company, based in the city, makes a line of delightful, whimsical wood stuff. Absolutely all made in Iowa. One word: awesome! Actually, two words: awesome and inspirational! Check it out if you're able.

Thank you, Madison! We had a really nice show at the Garden Expo. I'm looking forward to our second time in Des Moines, Iowa in a couple of weeks. 'Til then I'm busy makin' and packin'!

Madison

Finishing up packing my trailer this morning and then I'll drive to Madison and start setting up my booth for the Garden Expo. I'm excited! I've got new stuff to show to my great customers there, and look forward to seeing the show myself! I'm donating a beautiful "condo" birdhouse for the raffle there, so get to the show and buy a ticket or two....there's lots of fantastic stuff to win!
