Home again, Home again, Jiggety, Jig

Coming back from the Frolic, there are many other activity options:  You could visit Flower World, Molbaks, Wells Medina,  and many others.  There are also quite a few great places along the way as well including a great used bookstore, lots of antique shops and of course Snohomish which is the antique shop capitol of the state (really an entire day trip in itself!)  Because we had to be home for an early afternoon function, we couldn't hit some of our faves like the nursery/fruit stand that always has a lot of brugmansias blooming in front or the big farm & nursery whose name escapes me.  We even skipped the bamboo place. (You can't miss it as there are a few acres of bamboo forest by the side of the road. One of the places we never miss is Haystack Co.  Antiques and Garden art.

You can't miss Haystack because there is so much cool stuff sitting in front of the shop!

 Great use of coffee cans.

 I love the sound of these bells.  Next year one of them will come with me!

I respected Pam's request to not photograph her work.  It was difficult because really creative and wonderful recycled/upcycled pieces were everywhere.  This amazing woman works in stained glass, concrete, and metal.  You can see some of her work on her blog here.

 There is a little bit of everything in this great store.  They even sell flexible plastic/rubber re-usable forms with which to make concrete leaf castings!

 The inside of the shop is filled with all sorts of treasures!

Next year when YOU go to the Frolic, be sure to stop at Haystack!
