Happy Solstice!

Hi ,

I hope this finds you and yours safe and well and enjoying the Season in your area. And I hope our east coast miniature gardeners are safe from the nor'easter. It sounds like we're getting the same kind of thing here but different in the PNW - but we call it an atmospheric river. Literally! It's just and endless stream of rain, rain and then after that, it'll rain... :o) I think I'm growing gills...

So I had to take a forced-break this week but we wanted to send you a "little" Christmas cheer and wish you a Happy Solstice! I love our tradition of lighting the night for the holidays - and after this week, the days are only going to get longer! [Insert happy dance here.]

This miniature garden scene is a work-in-progress, inspired by the Christmas Light Competitions as seen on TV. It seems the days it's raining, I'm free to work on it, when it's not raining, I'm not. Lol! I'm wanting to add some more decorations to the individual scenes - so more details to come!

We're still shipping non-plant items but note that the Christmas deadlines have passed but you can always 'gift' yourself a little somethin'-somethin' to arrive the week after the holiday weekend for YOU. :o)

Please stay safe, stay grounded & stay creative with a lil' miniature gardening.

And whatever you do make it fun,

Janit Calvo, Head MG, Owner
Two Green Thumbs Living Miniature Garden Center

Happy Solstice! This day is my favorite day during the winter holidays simply because the days are only going to get longer and warmer! Yay! Find those pre-made Stonehenge-stones from Running Press (try Amazon or Barnes & Nobel.) Check out my blog for how to stake them - OR I have a photo so you can see the stones to make your own out of polymer clay HERE, up on the Mini Garden Guru blog.

ABOUT OUR SHIPPING:

We ship internationally (- but not the plants!)

All shipping costs are checked by Steve and we refund any savings promptly because of our wide range of unique inventory: we ship tiny miniatures, heavy patio materials and living plants, sometimes the automatic shipping calculator "packs" the order in multiple boxes which costs more. Steve can pack better than any online shipping calculator can - if we can save you money on shipping, we will.

MORE ABOUT OUR SHIPPING: There is some confusion when checking out of our online store and seeing the shipping option of "Priority Mail." Priority Mail is the term the United States Post System calls their services. Anything over 1 pound gets shipped by Priority Mail. They have done-away with Parcel Post. ~> It does not mean you get "priority" over anyone else's order. It's just what they call it. We are not able to send any order over a pound any other way. We choose to stay with USPS because they are least expensive, 98% reliable and they usually get your orders to you within 3 days at most. We've priced other services and USPS is our choice to save you money and ship your plants to you safely and quickly. :o)

We appreciate and serve everyone regardless of race, color, gender, politics or religion. Viva la difference! If we were all the same, the world would be a very, very boring place to live.
We believe in Oneness, Kindness & Love.
