  Still not sure how to go about arranging pictures in more appealing ways. One day that light bulb will go on.  Have a fantastic week and thanks for viewing.
  Located one hour south of Rochester, Minnesota








These are a few new pictures of my shop, The Blue Gate, located at my home farm in Northeast Iowa. I have sheds full so will be adding items daily including gardening items...weather willing!  I am open every evening from 5 until bedtime and on Saturday and Sunday. If I am home, I am open and please feel free to call anytime for info and or directions.  Located within a mile are several great Amish businesses including greenhouses, woodworking shops and a much loved grocery store Vantage Grocery but as us locals call in, The Bent & Dent.  It's a real treat if you've never been to one.  They are closed on Thursday and Sunday.  Cresco also host many great thrift shops and some fun Artsy Crafty places.  If you will be driving through Lime Springs, Curtis Tienter has wonderful thrift shop there and his sister Charlene has a super reupholstering business next door.

Industrial, Mid Century

     Inventory is filling my garage and storage buildings!  Currently have upright lockers, Medical  Cabinets, Industrial Table with wood top perfect for kitchen island and more!  There is also kitchen and dining tables with chairs of all styles, dressers, antique and mid century, bar stools, wicker furniture and so much more.  Most items in original condition but can paint and distress to match your decor.  I am  closer to learning how to post from droid to laptop, appears to be just an additional "smart cord" to plug into computer instead of my usual use of simple charging cord.  When the day warm up a bit I will get out and take pictures.  Thanks for viewing and have a great week!
