Greetings from Bucketville: Home of the Blossom Bucketeers!
Blossom Bucket, Inc. has been serving the retail industry for over 20 years, providing diverse and much-loved collections of primitive folk art, holiday creations, and general gifts. Now, we are looking forward to serving you!
I have been raising peacocks for about 3 years now. They are so beautiful and I really enjoy them.
My adult peacocks, Fred and Wilma (I’m starting the Flinstone family), had 3 eggs last year and all 3 hatched in my incubator. The children’s names are Pebbles, Bam Bam, and Betty.
Unfortunately, Pebbles was hatched with a birth defect which affected her leg. She had surgery on her leg which worked for a while, but as she grew, her leg became damaged.
Two years ago, we purchased a farm at auction that was in terrible disrepair.
We fell in love with the setting: the farm land, forest, and streams were calling our names!
Jim enjoys hunting, Zack enjoys riding four-wheelers, and I love animals! Seemed like the perfect place for us, and I fell in love with the 1832 bank barn that needed some serous help.
Blossom Bucket has had a lot of requests to bring back the farm animals.
We listened, and they are back and will begin shipping this November!
You will have a great selection of classics to choose from, as well as some new additions.
We have created barns, one of which (at right) is based on our barn (below), which have quilts on them.
This year, Blossom Bucket, Inc. is celebrating its 25th anniversary!
Cindy—owner, president, and tireless leader—hosted a breakfast bash for everyone, and it was wonderful! We had scrambled eggs, home fries, biscuits and gravy, and more. What a wonderful way to start the day!
We are honored to have the license for Ohio State University!
May 1 started our kick-off for our new line, which is approximately 20 great pieces created by Suzi Skoglund that help celebrate our Ohio State fans’ loyalty.
This line is being received very well by our customers and we really appreciate that! You will continue to see more products for Ohio State as well as new products for many more colleges.
Keep watching for those new schools to be added!

Now that Zack is 14 and totally annoyed with his mother, I thought it would be great to play a few April Fools jokes on him.
I started his day with black oatmeal and green milk.
From there, his tooth paste had a great new flavor: salt!
Are we missing something you have been looking for?
I would love to hear your feedback on product you wish were available from Blossom Bucket!
Let us know if there is a category or product line that you would love to see introduced or expanded.
We enjoy getting your suggestions, and will certainly take into consideration any ideas you have!

As the winter show season is starting to wrap up, I think we can honestly say that 2010 is starting out on the right foot.
All of the shows have been very upbeat, with customers ready to buy new products. We did not hear the discouragement that we did last year.
I think everyone who made it through 2009 learned an awful lot. We learned how to operate leaner and be creative. I know it was certainly a challenging year to get through, but we can all be very proud that we have come out of it stronger and smarter!
As you begin to see our November 2009 release and new 2010 product in stores, you will notice a double B brand (similar to what is shown at left) on each piece. This signifies this product is an original Blossom Bucket product!
Here is a way to draw new people into your store: donate a project to the school art class! Even if you’re not a business owner, you could always recommend it to a locally owned shop that you frequent!
Make it simple, like drawings, simple stitching projects, etc. Include a notice to be sent home with the kids letting parents know that the projects will be on display at your store.
This will give parents a great excuse to visit your store! You can even give the kids a little bag of candy for coming to the store.
This type of project benefits the school, helping them to get materials and creative ideas that aren’t always readily available due to limited budgets, as well as helping the business get people into their store. It’s a win-win situation!
