around the shop

Once again, we have moved the shop all around and made room for new treasures!

Come see us!

And, it's that time of year again...

We have pumpkins!

update on the birdies

for over a year we enjoyed our sweet little finches in their gorgeous antique bird cage. 

but, the finches have flown the coop, and moved into a loving home.

we recently visited them and were pleased to see that they are happier than ever and currently building a new nest to cozy up for the winter.

new willows' apparel shop!

Well, we have done some rearranging around the shop and are happy to announce we have a brand new apparel boutique that moved into the garden shop at the Willows!

We have all our old favorite brands and some new ones!

We also moved tons of items into the sale room, so you will find lots of treasures in there, too!

Come see us!

new york and boston

After Maine, my husband and I headed to New York and Boston for a few days each before heading back west.  We took along our youngest daughter Emily (whose blog I stole all these pictures from... go check it out for more!), as she is our only one at home these days...  Sometimes I still can't believe it.

Anyway... we were actually in New York for 9/11 which was incredible.  And, as usual, I managed to pretty much eat my way through that city.  There is just too much good stuff to be had in New York.  Ok, we ate a lot in Boston, too.  That's what traveling is for, right?  Boston was wonderful.  We saw lots of the historic sights and visited Harvard.  We shopped and ate and walked all around.  It was a wonderful week after the wedding! 

But we are glad to finally be home!

having the most fun

What would we do without good friends in our lives?
