Today, in the “in-between” time, we were at our favorite Garden Center getting a load of wood for our wood burning stove.
It’s an odd time of the year–there are still Christmas holiday sales going on, Valentine’s Day is nearing, and spring decorating has already begun.
So, It’s kind of an “in-between” time.
After Christmas Sales
The photograph on the left, shows a shopping cart with faux wreaths and greenery for the after Christmas sale.
The photograph on the right shows faux magnolia leaf garlands. Decorating with magnolia leaves is a Southern staple.
There is also a nice selection of faux pine garlands.
The photograph on the left, shows a huge variety of holiday ribbon on sale.
If you need ribbon for next year’s holiday decorating or craft projects, now is the time to buy it.
The photograph on the right, shows holiday stockings displayed in a vintage cabinet.
This past holiday, gnome merchandise was a popular theme.
Fireplace Supplies in the “In-Between” Time
We buy our firewood from this garden center because it is always dry and burns nicely.
It is still not warm enough to do away with making fires in the fireplace.
Today at the front of the store they had some fat wood firestarters, small logs and other fireplace supplies, (see the below photograph).
The photograph on the left, shows a small, medium and large circular log holder.
These were located outside the store.
Valentine’s Day Presents
What could be cuter than this Valentine’s Day Tree complete with decorative ribbon, cupid figurines, roses, and flowers, (see below photograph).
The garden center also has a nice selection of candles, gift wrap, and gifts for Valentine’s Day giving.
Since I was wearing a COVID face mask, I was unable to smell the candles.
However, the pear shaped candles probably smelled like pears.
The “In-Between” Time & Ending Remarks
The employees were decorating the inside portion of the store.
This one section immediately made me think of spring days with all the green and earth tones.
There was so much to look at–bird cages, bird houses, green napkins, faux ferns and other green toned home decorative items.
Shopping with their large selection of merchandise is always special.
Enjoy your day and, as always, happy shopping! Hurry Up Spring!
The above items are available for purchase at Merrifield Garden Center.
A Big Thank you to Merrifield Garden Center for allowing me to take photographs and blog about their fabulous garden store.
