Big News!!

Merry Christmas Everyone!!

The end of the year brings new beginnings!

We have had a FABULOUS year at the Secret Garden! So fabulous in fact, that we will be expanding our space in 2012! We have already started work in the big black barn! If you have stopped by recently, I'm sure you've noticed the bottom section of the barn is now one big room and we are installing a pavered floor. Debbie and Bart will be re-roofing the barn also! We plan on having a beautiful and much larger space next year with lots and lots of NEW vintage finds!

Moondog Cottage will still be open too with ALL new items!

If you haven't started on your Christmas list, you're just in time for our year end 50% off sale!!

All Tole Mountain and Moondog Cottage items in the Cottage & Barn will be

half off December 2nd, 3rd and 4th. That's right - ALL items - HALF off!!

We want to clear out things so we can start fresh next year with lots of new treasures!

So if there has been some great item you've had your eye on all year, now is certainly the

time to get a great deal!!

Friday evening December 2nd The Secret Garden will be open until 9pm with wine & cheese and lots of neat stuff happening! If you've missed it in the past, please plan to attend. This is the same weekend as Christmas in the Village in Waynesville which is a wonderful destination during this Holiday time. Try to piggy-back both events.

Even though it's the end of the season, there are still loads of neat vintage items to rummage through! Vases, lanterns, pictures, Halloween items...

Lots of beautiful and unusual silver pieces...

Vintage cameras and cake stands...

Mexican Pottery...

Neat vintage Liquor decanters from days gone by...

A hand mirror, brush and comb set from the early 1900's...

Glass candleabras, and more!

One thing we will all miss is sweet little Quincy, the Official Greeter at the Secret Garden.

Quincy, who was 15 this year left earth for Heaven on November 25th.

He will be sorely missed by everyone but forever remembered and loved.

You will find a special place for him at the entrance of the Garden.

From our family to yours,

we wish you a very Merry Christmas

and a Happy New Year!

Hidden Treasure!

You just never know what you're going to find in Moondog Cottage or the Barn at the Secret Garden! Recently I bought two statues at an estate sale and put them in the Barn for $60 for the pair. I had no idea that they were actually valuable! A lucky man bought them and put them on Ebay and got $1,000 for the pair!! Oh well, I never cry over spilled milk and am happy for him. See, you just never know what treasures you're going to find in our vintage items! So come out and take a look!

I bought a huge box of beautiful very vintage silverware at an auction recently. You never know, some of it might be valuable like the statues I mentioned above. Just don't have time to google everything you know... So come and take a peek!! Just 50 cents a piece - how can you lose?!

I love this vintage scale! It would look so nice in a kitchen and add a retro look. Only $20.00!

Are these hats adorable or what? And don't forget, Halloween will be here before you know it!

I just LOVE this very vintage picture of a man and woman. It's from the late 1800's or early 1900's. Purchased at an estate sale and in great condition!

Isn't this metal decorative bowl fabulous? Such detail... Very Victorian looking.

We have LOTS of vintage silver - tea pots, trays, cream & sugar pieces, candleabras and more! And our prices are very affordable!

Make sure you check out the cottage and the barn when you visit. We always try

to bring new items weekly and you never know, maybe YOU'LL find buried treasure that we've missed!

Moondog Cottage finally had it's "Official Grand Opening" today at The Secret Garden! We have been so excited with how well our vintage items have done and have now expanded into the Barn Loft also! Thank you to everyone who has made us a success and a special thank you to Debbie, Bart & Adam for being so gracious, helpful and just plain wonderful!

This vintage Royal typewriter will add character to any room. Or to start your first novel on!

We have an assortment of wonderful vintage liquor decanters in assorted shapes, sizes & colors!

They look beautiful when you can group them together, adding a Shabby Chick flair.

I've always loved old cameras! They're so collectable. We have an assortment right now

purchased from estate sales. These are from the 1930's and 1950's.

We have lots of gorgeous silver pieces right now. Candle sticks, tea pots, trays, tea sets, serving dishes,

you name it! And at very affordable prices.

Vintage luggage is really in style right now and make great display pieces! In addition to stacking them for display, you can store things in them! We have about four really neat pieces in stock right now.
