Outdoor Living Supplies

Geoff wrote and asked if I would include a link to his site, Outdoor Living Supplies, and I'm glad he did. He offers a wide variety of exactly that - outdoor living supplies. Furniture, bird feeders, lanterns, grills - you name it, they carry it. There are even camping supplies in case you plan to participate in the Great American Backyard Campout tonight or just enjoying camping. Go out and take a look when you get a chance.

Two sites to share

Aaron wrote recently to let me know about his site Simply Arbors. His company carries some gorgeous products including arbors, of course, but also arbor accessories such as benches, gates and planters. They also offer several trellises to suit your style.

I also recently came across Composters.com while preparing an article about composting. This site offers many products to help conserve our environment. Not only do they carry composters, they also have rain barrels, lawn mowers, and biodegradeable pet waste items - something near and dear to my heart. I also have my eye on one of their chipper/shredders.

Go out and take a look at both of these sites when you get a chance. You'll be glad you did.

Bigchimes

I received an email recently from bigchimes.com and wanted to make you aware of their products. This company sells a variety of garden accessories and decor from windchimes (you know that's my favorite) to hammocks to garden statues and more. I was browsing their site and was intrigued by the solar stepping stones and various solar statues. The stepping stones are a fantastic idea as an edge to an existing walkway or as a new path somewhere in the garden. Located in California, the company offers a 90 day guarantee. Go check them out.

Funky Bird Boxes

How cool is this! This company wrote to tell me about their nesting boxes. The boxes are colorful and designed to suit all different bird species. Did you know birds see and apparently respond to color? Pretty interesting. These birdhouses are great and available in a variety of sizes. Funky Bird Boxes also sells feeders. Check them out.

Sundials

If you like sundials, visit David Harber Sundials. It's a very interesting site with some beautiful sundials. All are individually handcrafted for the customer and are built to the exact longitude and latitude of its intended location. They also create water features and garden sculptures. Located in the UK, the company does ship worldwide.

Lounging and reading

With the arrival of the long, warm days of summer comes swimming and lounging around the pool. I don't know about you, but when I'm lying in the sun I enjoy reading. But the hard part is I need sunglasses and am farsighted. What's a book/sun lover to do? Weeding glasses! Yep - weeding glasses. Out of the Blue sells sun-tinted reading glasses just for folks like me. I've often said someone should invent the product and now it's available. You can choose your style, power, color and you get a case in your choice of color. What could be better than that. Go check it out - I know I'm already picking out mine.

Nifty Wares

This is sort of a garden accessory - something for you to wear and proclaim to the world you are proud to be a gardener! Kent owns Nifty Wares Shop offering garden & farm themed t-shirts, mugs, tote bags, & more. You can get such sayings as "Peas on Earth" or "Hoe! Hoe! Hoe" or, my favorite, "Dance With the Beet". You gotta love it. Go visit Kent's site and see what you can find.
