Love is in the air!

Deb Erb, a dear friend of the Sisters' Garden family who has worked at the shop for over 15 years, opened up her home to host her daughter Lindsay's wedding on an absolutely perfect evening on August 1st. Lindsay and Jason were married in the back yard and a reception followed in a building on the property. All was marvelous!

These amazing cages hung on trees throughout the yard with candles and flowers resting inside.
Lanterns from Sisters' adorned the outdoor reception entrance as guests gathered for drinks.

Deb had done such an incredible job, as we walked through the crowd of guests, we heard things like, "This looks like something out of a magazine" and "Martha would be so impressed!"

Barb, of course, had a hand in all this too! Everything from adding a little romance to this Garden Girl to helping with the reception chandelier that hung from the ceiling in all its glory. . .

A variety of wonderful, summery flower arrangements in a mix of ironstone and silver vessels.

And the cupcakes! The cupcake tower replaced a traditional cake, and each was uniquely designed by a customer of Sisters', a sweet, sweet woman who we call our "cupcake lady" Deb Kroeger . . . they were gorgeous and delicious!

The happy couple, Jason and Lindsay . . . congratulations and blessings as you start this journey together . . . if Deb is crying when you see her here at work, it's because her only daughter has just gotten married! Love sent to all.

New Friends!

These new friends from Minnesota discovered us here in beautiful Iowa country. Pictured from left to right are Ki (Junk Revolution), Barb (our fearless leader), Jane (Mustard Moon), and Sara (Seasons in Carver). We were thrilled to find we are same souls - feeding on each others' excitement for old, beautiful, unique treasures. What a wonderful thing!

Barb and Ki sit on the 1940's glider, that, within a few days of visiting us at the shop, will now find a home at Ki's in Minnesota. Fare thee well!

Barb, hunter and gatherer . . . we just had to sneak a few photos of this lovely lady!

And of course, these ladies hauled as many Iowa finds as they could pile on . . . however it fits - just get those amazing things back home safely!

We thank you marvelous ladies for visiting us, and discovering the uniqueness that Iowa offers friends. We are thrilled that you wanted to come see us, and even more excited that next time we meet, we'll have many junkin' stories to share with each other!
