Wow!!!! We had a couple of new orders come in this week and another due in tomorrow and one Monday and all I can say is WOW!! People are really enjoying the new items and we still have several orders that are not due in for a few more weeks.

One new item that seems to be a hit is the Bitty Bop Erasers, these are little erasers in the shape of food and food products that the kids can take apart. An example of this is that you can take the french fries out of the container and the banana out of it's peel.

When we were at the show we heard that these were becoming a big deal but had no idea how many we would sell after one day.

If you have not been in stop by and browse we have a lot of new items and more on the way. If you are looking for something special please give us a call we may just have it.

One other item that we have sold a bunch of already are the little LED lights that go over your key so you can see your key hole in the dark.

All I can say is the community up here is great word of mouth has been so awsome, Bob and I can not tell you how much we appreciate it. We are so looking forward to the holiday season not only do we think we found a ton of cool items for you but we will be having some free give aways and a drawing for an item many of you can use.

Again THANK YOU so much and please give us a call if you are looking for something 303-679-1343!!!!

Kim - I have a question - the wildflowers from the seed I bought from you this spring are beautiful. What do i do in the fall? Cut them, leave them, rip them out for compost? Do they reseed themselves???

thanks

Except for the baby’s breath all of the wild flowers are perennials so they will come back next year. We typically wait until we see just a little bit of green coming up in March on the plants then we cut off all of the brown dead stuff.

If you planted them in a field/large area wild flowers take care of themselves and they do not require any pruning or cutting back. Each year after the flowers dry out if you want you can help Mother Nature out by pulling the dry tops off and spreading the seeds.

I am so happy to hear that your flowers are doing well ours are going nuts also and many of the seeds that were in the mix will not bloom until next year so we can’t wait.

I am not certified in gardening so I hope our local gardeners chime in if I have given you bad advice this is just what we have done.

Thanks,

Kim

We plan on carrying the seeds again next year they were quite a hit.

The weather has been kind this year providing all of us with enough water to keep things green.

Hope to see you a the store Becky sorry we missed the picnic.

I wish I had planted them on top of the slope so they could spread down. I was wondering if there were any poppy seeds in there that did not germinate? And the black stuff is the deer netting, otherwise there would be no wildflowers :crossed:

I am in ECH, I think about 9000 feet. Where I planted those is pretty sheltered and southern exposure. I have more along the side of the house. I'll be back next spring for more seeds, Kim. thank you :heart:

Hey Kim - I put seeds in 2 pots. Next year, I'll use much less. They are gorgeous, but crowded, my fault. First the yellow and white flowers came. Next the deep purple/blues. Then yellow and orange daisy looking things. You can tell I am not a horticulturist. Anyway, lastly (I think) I have 2 different shades of pink Astrmaueans(sp???) - variegated with white! What a surprise.

Thanks for letting us know when they arrived in stock.

Best of luck to you and Bob!
