More Display Ideas from The Gateway!

Wednesday, May 11th, 2011

If you have a vendor’s license, and are in the area, then I hope we will be seeing you at The Gateway to Amish Country today for our vendor-only Grand Re-Opening event from 9am – 4pm.

If you’re not a vendor, but still live close enough to visit, we’ll be welcoming you to The Gateway on May 20th from 4pm – 9pm and May 21st 10am – 4pm for Girls’ Night Out before School Is Out!

Bird Cabinet - cWhether you’re able to come to The Gateway or not, you can still enjoy some of the colorful and original displays throughout, and maybe pick up a few ideas for your own decorating!

Above is a weathered cabinet which cheerfully showcases some Blossom Bucket, Inc. spring products!  To help create that spring feeling, we added bird nests, moss mushrooms, wreaths and more, including several birds designed by Deb Strain.

Infusing an indoor display with few outdoor elements can breathe new life into your décor, while also adding color and texture.  We’d love to see how you show off your favorite items at home or in your shop—share your photos on our Facebook page!

111-83684I know it’s only February 1st, but I am so ready for spring!

I know we still have a lot of winter days ahead before those daffodils start poking their heads out of the soil, but this weekend we hit 70 degrees here in Georgia, and everyone thought it was summertime and were out in their shorts and flip flops.

It is raining for the next 2 days, so it didn’t last long.
