I never mind coming to work at A Rustic Garden, my garden and antique shop. It does seem like a long winter this year so if the Sun Shines and the temp is above 25 degrees then I am happy.

My friends ask me “what do you do?”  Well I sell unique garden decor! Would you believe we just shipped 165 wood step ladders painted bright yellow to the Brighton Company for display in their stores. Wooden antique ladders are our best wintertime selling items.

Antique wooden ladders are a great way to go GREEN. Every day we get orders from our customers needing a wood ladder to recycle to display the things they love. No need to cut a new tree. These ladders are from the middle 1900’s and their worn surface shows the history of times past.

The primitive aged look is the very reason that they are so popular now.
