It has been really busy here at Small Holdings Farm the past few weeks. 
 We are in the process of updating our website at Small Holdings Farm
with a better design for the "Shop Online" page to make purchases easier and quicker. 
We have added some new and wonderful....truly one of a kind items!

Like this wonderful Mermaid Boat Bumper! 
 Or this Creative Copper Arrow & Funnel Table Decoration
 How about this interesting boot mold
 And I just think this Folk Art Wreath is so unique

And then.......

We have also been busy at Long Island Tag Sale Company 
with a very high end sale in Southampton, New York. 
 You can see photos of the sale if you click the link. 
 It was a large amount of work but we got great results.  The turnout was phenomenal!

And the items ranged from Quality
To Quite Unusual........

So forgive us for being behind in our blogging.

Sitting in my kitchen

A few days ago I was sitting at my kitchen table and I noticed the way the light was streaming in....across the room and across the objects on the cabinet below.  I saw the cabinet with fresh eyes.  It is original paint and has been in my kitchen for quite some time.  It is one of my favorite pieces.  The picture has not been set up....cropped or changed in any way....I just thought it was so perfect....not contrived. 

So then I decided to keep looking around the kitchen because the quality of the light was so spectacular, and find other areas to photograph while sitting in my chair.

Wire trivet and scale


My wonderful original painted cabinet

Close ups of some pottery and fishing floats
More things I like ....succulents and my old lead deer...what a spectacular morning.

Valentines Sundae

Tasty looking...actually it is a bath bomb & bath salts in an Ice Cream Sundae dish!

I bought these bath fizzy bombs and loved them so much....
Probably because they reminded me of an Ice Cream Sundae....yum!

 I happened to have a box of these vintage Ice Cream Sundae Dishes....
new/old stock from an old drug store.
(actually the same drug store that I got the green pharmacy jars from....small world!)
The colors were so tasty looking and the scents were lovely...

Pear, Red Clover & Tea, Oatmeal Milk & Honey, Spearmint Rosemary,
Black Rasberry & Vanilla, Crystal Blue Waters, Lavender, etc. 


I added 4 ounces of bath salts to the bottom of the Ice Cream Sundae Dish

The green salts are Pearberry....de-lish
and the white salts are Cool Fresh Aloe


They also looked great displayed simply, in a decorative white dish

To purchase our "Ice Cream Sundae" Bath Gift Set 
go to our website Small Holdings Farm and click the "shop online" tab


Have a Happy, Relaxing and Perfectly Lovely Valentines Day

Another Unbeliveably Beautiful Snow Storm


Upon returning home......we were hit with another snow storm
Different from the Virginia shore but just as beautiful in its' own way
I always make sure I feed my birds.  This large parrot cage makes a wonderful playground for my feathered friends.  They just love hopping in and out, on top of and around it. I haven't cleaned the snow out of it yet but the other feeder is quite active. 

The way the snow stuck to the bushes and trees was quite beautiful


My Barn looked very far away.........

I decided it was better to stay inside and watch my friends from the window....brrrrr

Our Candles Arrived Safe & Sound

Our candles arrived safe and sound with Linda at Lime in the Coconut
We are glad she is enjoying them
Check out her colorful and marauding lobsters
