Rotoluxe - DIY yard crashers - TWILIGHT - NEW MOON

Rotoluxe planter:

I receive a call last night from one of the owners of rotoluxe. He has some really exciting news. First, the DIY network has purchased planters from them for their show yard crashers. The episode is supposed to air sometime in April. I will keep you posted.

Next, the film makers for NEW MOON (Twilight) is renting a bunch of the rotoluxe pieces for one of the scenes in New Moon. They are supposed to be picking them up on their way to Vancouver. How great is that?? Maybe I can get my hands on one of the rented pieces!!

That's it for now.

Beautiful hanging egg planters! I love them. We should have them in tomorrow, along with some of their birdhouses and feeders.

Why is a plant a False?

There are some plants, for instance a false aralia, that got it's name because it looks like another plant.

Carniverous Plants

We have a couple different carniverous plants in the shop, including a venus flytrap. Come check them out!

LOLL FURNITURE ARRIVAL

Our much antisipated patio furniture order is arriving on Tuesday. Tuesday night will probably be a long one, because we plan to have the furniture out on display for Wednesday. That means a total remodel to make room. Come check us out Wednesday and relax in some fun chairs.

A grand opening is coming into view. It will probably be towards the end of the month, or the beginning of September. We will keep you posted!

Weird Plants!!

I love me some crazy plants. This is a hylocereus. It's been growing like crazy!! It loves a lot of sun. Probably not for everyone, but I know there has to be some other exotic plant lovers out there besides myself!

This is a ric rac plant. Low light and low water. This is a plant you won't likely run into just passing by!

Getting excited about Loll!!!

nate, one of the owners of loll designs, stopped in to envy today. he dropped off some brochures and product samples. he also told me that our order should ship by the end of this week, and that we should have it by the end of next week! stop in and take a look at what they have to offer! we can't wait to have it here in the store! you can also see them online at http://www.lolldesigns.com/ . let them know you heard about them through envy in Seattle!!

Jenga!!, anyone?

Hop on in to the store and play a game of giant jenga... it's set up and ready to go. Be careful, you don't want to tip it over... And don't forget, the wii is still hooked up and the garden game disc is here... play lawn darts among other fun games!

Make a soothing fountain to enhance your environment

Great for the patio, or even on your porch or sun room, a bamboo fountain with a pot can add a nice touch to your surroundings! All it takes is a pot, a small pump and some water and voila, you've got yourself an instant water feature. Envy sells the pots and the bamboo fountain; however, we do not have the pumps yet. I'll be working on that in the next week.

Cheers!

The Wii is hooked up!

Rockband anyone? J/K... that's an after hours game (maybe). I've got a great summer game for the wii and I invite you to come play if you like. There is another game coming out in the fall or spring that will be a lot of fun too. I'll be sure to let you know when it comes out!

Why Is It Called "Lucky" Bamboo?

Along with its ease of growth, Lucky Bamboo has long been associated with the Eastern practice of Feng Shui - or the bringing of natural elements of water, fire, earth, wood and metal into balance within the environment. Lucky Bamboo is believed to be an ideal example of the thriving wood and water element, with the addition of a red ribbon sometimes tied around the stalks - which is believed to "fire" the positive flow of energy or chi in the room.
The number of stalks also has meaning : three stalks for happiness; five stalks for wealth; six stalks for health. Four stalks, however, are always avoided since the word "four" in Chinese sounds too similar to the Chinese word for "death"!

We've moved to Capitol Hill!

We're on Capitol Hill now. 1546 15th Ave. right next door to Anchovies & Olives, and just down the way from Healeo. Come in and check out the new space. We're very proud of it.

New inventory: not only are we carring plants and pots, but now we offer outdoor garden games from Jaques London, patio furniture from Loll Designs and Fermob, planters from Perch! Designs, and some other really fun accessories.

As always, we have some great art on the walls. Currently we are host to Matthew Olds (http://www.holdstudios.com/)

We hope to see you soon. Here are some pics to check out!
