Your a Grand 'Ol Flag Holder


Just in time for your fourth of July celebrations and summer parties - these nifty flag holders! There are 3-hole and 5-hole metal brackets and they hold the 12" x 18" flags. It's a festive look for above doors, on fence posts, mail boxes, or wherever. It is a great way to fly your colors and show you're proud to be an American!

Thank you!


Thank you to all of you wonderful people who helped us celebrate our birthday! It was great to see all of your happy, smiling faces!

Nature's Candles


Okay, these are neat. These candles are made from real rocks, really cool ones, found just the way they are, no chiseling or anything to change their natural shape. A very nice and creative couple from IOWA then transform each hand-chosen rock into a candle by drilling a hole (this can't be easy), and attaching a small glass container to the bottom to hold lamp oil. Wicks are added and woolah! These rock candles are awesome on the patio and would be great in a bathroom. (Remember you can click on these pictures to enlarge.) Rethinking and repurposing rocks!
