Hi ,

Whew! What. a. week. I hope this finds you safe, cozy and warm.

I also hope this finds you planning some quality downtime for yourself during this busy Season! I know I have to tell myself that I will work better and I will think better if I take a break. I was brought up "old-school" and taught to work hard all the time but learned years later that "a rested field yields a bountiful harvest." (You know all my life-metaphors have to do with gardening of some sort. Lol!)

So I've been working towards a big surprise coming next week. All fingers crossed and prayers requested for everything to work out smoothly so this big change will be fun and relatively easy! I can't wait to share it with you - stay tuned!

ICYMI LAST WEEK:

The season is upon us and, while we can't scream loud enough to be heard above the big box stores, we can quietly tell you that if you need anything, we are here.

Do you need a gift to arrive by a certain date? We can do that. Do you need a gift wrapped with a hand written, personalized greeting card? We can do that. Do you need help choosing something for a fellow or favorite miniature gardener? We can do that too. Email us here and let us know how we can help. Call us at 206-352-0494, PST time, please leave a message if we miss you and we'll get back to you directly!

Steve is on top of the shipping and he will stay on top (well, he usually does anyway!) of the shipping until all the orders are packed and sent. So, please note that even though the post office is at their busiest time of year, packages still move quickly through their system. We've been shipping for years and have never felt any sort of post office slow-down over the holiday season, so please don't be afraid to order from us throughout these next couple of weeks!

Many warm wishes during this holiday Season. Thank you for being a subscriber, a fellow miniature gardener and our customer, we do appreciate you! And remember, whenever you do something that you love to do, you will spread more love. :o)

Whatever you do, make it fun,

Ye Olde Mower. Last one left. Can't keep these in stock! They are customized by Steve - whenever I can get him into the studio - so he only averages about 6 custom mowers a year. See more photos of it here.

I make the mistakes so you don't have to... Lol!  :o)

Lawrence Crocker Dwarf Daphne - This photo was taken last year, it grows about 1 to 2 inches per year here in the PNW. It's about 9" tall in this photo. Blooms early summer.

Oh Lawrence Crocker, whomever you are, how do I love thee! HEY, I finally got-hold of some Dwarf Daphnes! It's called Lawrence Crocker Dwarf Daphne and he's such a delight! Don't move this one very often, review the growing info before purchasing too. I haven't had any trouble with growing this one for the last 7 years but it loves the Seattle climate. Note that I've had mine in full sun for years too. See it up in the store here.
