Who and Why -
Two old broads in our 50s who have always been creative are turning that creative eye into a business. We love the hunt for treasure, which has led us to discover a whole world out there of things being thrown away. We've gone into "rescue mode" and become obsessed with resurrecting the stuff that would typically find its way into the landfill and making it into artful, useful items for the home and garden.

What -
It's true that necessity is the mother of invention. Diane was hosting a big event in her yard and needed a way to light her gazebo, which has a tall conical shaped ceiling. We turned a large, conical tomato cage upside-down, then wired punch cups (for holding votive candles) to it and hung it from the gazebo ceiling. Voila! Our “Punch-o-Liers” were born. They continue to be our biggest seller--great for romantically lighting a buffet table indoors or ambient outdoor lighting. No two are exactly alike. Used as a centerpiece they can also hold cupcakes, Easter eggs, or holiday trinkets. We like their versatility!

That describes only one of our many inventions. A new one is always around the corner, depending on what we find or what need we're fulfilling.
