How Does Your Garden Grow?

 So, Mary Mary, what are you doing this Memorial Day weekend?  Well we have a suggestion - stop by Winnow on your way home from the nursery.  Move aside the pots of silver bells and cockle shells and make room for some great garden finds. Did you know that Winnow is one of the only shops in Southern California that carries the Denman's "Red Pig" hand forged garden tools?   We have trowels and weed yanks that are undoubtedly the best you have ever used.  The hand forged steel and solid hardwood handles make these the strongest garden tools on the market. 

 We also carry Tahoe work gloves.  Their genuine leather construction makes them the ideal garden glove and they come in Ladies sizes S, M, L and XL for a perfect fit. 

  

Our fun and functional galvanized chalkboard garden stakes will help identify that row of pretty maids.  We have twines, clay pots, and of course our great wire door mats for when you come indoors.  Speaking of indoors, we have lots for the indoor gardener as well as great gifts for your gardening friends.  So Mary Mary don't be contrary - come on in to Winnow and let us help make your garden grow! 

Have You Any Wool?

Swan's Island Throws   $375 - $475

Imagine you are a sheep wandering around on Nash Island off Maine's Down East coast.  No humans - just seals and seabirds...shear contentment (pun intended!).  You would want your wool to go to go to the best, and our Swan's Island  blankets, throws, and baby blankets are worth the fleecing!  These luxurious blankets can be ordered in an array of sizes and colors, and come in both summer and winter weights.  All of the blankets and throws are presented in soft linen tie bags with a linen lavender sachet.  Meant to be preserved and passed along, the larger blankets come with cedar sides in the bags along with a provenance list to record each generation's use.  You will love these blankets so much you might just have to get three - one for the master, one for the dame, and one for the little boy who lives down the lane.

We're Walking, We're Walking, and Stop

Wood Walking Toys  $48

OMG we LOVE these!  Wonderfully crafted, these little wooden walking hedgehogs and elephants are the perfect pastime to break away from the high-tech world of computer games and all those Wii activities.  Simple and fun to watch, these adorable little animals "walk" down their little wooden ramps and come to a halt at the end.  They are a great addition for childen's rooms and of course adults can watch them on their desks. So "walk" on down to Winnow and pick up one of these cute little guys and see our other children's delights - we have something for the child in all of us.
