Welcome to Garden Devotions. It appears Old Man Winter is blowing in. That means it is time for cinnamon spice tea, apple pies and warming our toes by the fire.
Let me share with you our story, and how my passion for art and decorating has inspired our eBay store, a wonderful family business. You will find a tasteful mixture of inspiring pieces ... a mixture of Faith, Family & Friends. We pride ourselves in carrying only the finest quality items. Unlike many others who sell anything and everything, we search far and wide to bring you only the best. Each piece is thoroughly inspected and meets our high quality requirements of superb quality and design.
I come from a family of incredible artists. My father was a sign painter and cartoonist, the kind that graces pages of magazines, one time working for Knott's Berry Farm. My big sister obtained my father's incredible gene. From an early age I would watch both of them simply turn out wonderful drawings with ease. My sister has a beautiful line of spiritual stationery, and you should take a look at her store, TrademarkStationery.com. Perhaps you have seen her work in many religious gift shops throughout the world. She has always been a great inspiration to me. In junior high I amazed my family with a hidden talent ... I too could draw and sculpt clay creations! My art teacher offered me a scholarship, but unfortunaely I did not take him up on it. As time went on and I became a busy mother and paying bills became number one, those things seem to have become lost in time. I look forward to the day I can settle down and take up that peaceful talent once again, those were some of the most fulfilling days of my life!
For some reason, my parents wanted to see if they had a green thumb and could farm. We grew up on a small farm along the winding Columbia River and, as you can imagine, we had many chores to do. There were 2000 rabbits (no worries-I didn't make a mistake with the 0's there), 100 goats, 200 chickens, 75 geese, a handful of cats and dogs and a field full of horses (and a couple lazy donkeys that liked to wipe us off by rubbing against the trees whenever we tried to ride them). Let me just say my father didn't do things on a small scale and I did not care for cleaning the rabbit cages, watching the goats for hours on end as they grazed the countryside, or weeding our one-acre of solid organic gardens. I did love my horses, cats, dogs and finding the chicken eggs. Perhaps this is why I carry a large line of home and garden decor, much of it vintage reproductions from days gone by and full of country charm.
We grew up very simply and did not have a television, so my sister would make up her own movies, mainly about Saints and her fictional friend, Mr. Magoo. She would make drawings on a large spool of butcher paper, insert the one end into a box carved out to look like a television, and wind it onto a spool on the other side. Of course, she even recorded her own story on one of those big old tape recorders, and my friends and I helped with sound effects. She would put the red popcorn maker on the stove burner and turn, turn, turn, until it started popping. Then she would dopple it with butter, and our evening of a movie and popcorn would begin!
We would have catechism classes in the evening, and our reward for doing well was once a year to order a beautiful statue of Mary, Jesus or the Saints. Waiting, in great anticpation for my statue must have stuck with me because to this day I enjoy fine statuary. Traveling through Europe, viewing the many incredible churches and cathedrals instilled this desire for beautiful statues and decor even deeper. We now import from all over the world - then share all our finds with you. Your business is truly appreciated!
Our prices on church quality statues, will astound you. Thousands of dollars less than anything else comparable. Most with glass eyes, gold leaf trim and olive wood bases. If you are looking for something in particular, just ask. Chances are we can get it for you!
We operate from a large warehouse and office building located in the beautiful Pacific Northwest. Stop in and see us if you are ever travelling through Post Falls, Idaho.
I thank eBay, my family and art teacher for inspiring me. Above all, I thank Our Lord Himself for guiding me and my family, he truly is a Good Shepherd.
