August Means Back to School
It is back to school time which means our thoughts turn to fall and fall decorating. We have beautiful collections for the season. One of my favorites is the sunflower collection which includes plates, bowls and accent pieces called the Sun Blossom from Certified International. The vibrant colors in the design will warm any home.
Christmas is approaching faster than any of us can imagine! I know that I just talked about fall and no one wants to hear about Christmas but I wanted to share some exciting news. Nancy Claus, a fabulous children's author, who writes stories about Santa's adventures will be here for Quilt Show, September 25 and 26, to sign her books. from 9 am to 4 pm each day. If you would like to learn more about her books, please visit www.Mrs.ClausSays.comOf course we will have many shapes and styles of pumpkins to accent your home décor. The popular glass pumpkins are back! Be sure to stop in early for the best selection. Fall is one of my favorite seasons and we will have everything you need to complete your fall decorating. |

Woolly Pockets
Vertical gardening has been the hot topic as of late, systems in place around the globe allow landscapes to flow right up the outside of buildings. Taking green architecture to a new level, vertical gardening makes sense from, an environmental point of view as well as a design view. The plants act as air coolers and filters, they provide effective insulation and they look amazing. Vertical gardening systems have been extremely costly up till now; Factory built systems can easily cost $50 per square foot and more. Alden Lane has discovered the newest vertical planting system from wholly pockets that can be attached to a wall, either indoors or out, planted up with soil and an assortment of plants. These beauties will grace your home or patio with a unique visual statement and are very easy to care for. Woolly pocket vertical gardening system is actually constructed using a felt-like fabric, remanufactured from pop bottles. They come in two versions, indoors or out, and in several sizes, Indoor woolly pockets are lined with a waterproof membrane to allow leak-proof care indoors. Simply attach to any vertical surface using screws, fill the pockets with soil and plants and keep watered either manually or with a drip system. Come in to Alden Lane and see one of the wooly pocket systems installed and operating in our greenhouse. We think you will find the idea inspiring and we'd love you to take one home to try. |
