I can’t wait to buy the Engraved Garden Sundial for…Oh, I know, EVERYONE I know! It’s the PERFECT Housewarming Gift. You don’t even really need a garden to have one of these little jewels.

My daughter just returned from a school sponsored trip to Costa Rica. She had a fabulous time working with special needs children and absorbing the culture. Beautiful beaches, fabulous food, jungle hikes, huge bugs, an active volcano and zip lines through the jungle canopy were all experiences of a life time. Surprisingly, one of her [...]
