I have always known that I was special or at least a  superstar in my own mind.  Even when I first met Beth, she joke that I was superman( because of my nerdy blue bloomers)  but finally someone else thinks we’re a star.  Recently, Home Accents Today, a trade publication for the retail home accents industry, named The Garden Gates as one of the top 50 specialty retailers in the United States.  Finally someone else is seeing those stars that are flying around in my head and if that wasn’t exciting enough, I received a email telling me to click on a link.  So, of course my curious george mind clicked away to discover The Garden Gates was the cover story on the June issue of Home Accents Today.  This was really nice to see and more importantly a reward to all the wonderful people at The Garden Gates that makes our dreams reality everyday.  So hat’s off to Famous Amos, Superstar Sara, Prego aka Jenn, Mr. Anything-Heinz, our spaceman Marc, Brenda, Alyse, Brandon, the new kid Jesse and as well as all of our wonderful staff that works everyday in the field to make The Garden Gates shine.  Oh yeah…I can not forget about the nerds at Brand Labs..keep being nerds.

The front cover  features our Fours Season down filled slip covered sofa available in catalog or in store.  Donna Hilton organic original artwork exclusive to The Garden Gates available online, in catalog or in store.  The azalea topiary is displayed in our Guy Wolff Pottery collection finished with green floral moss.  The lighting is by Canopy Design and Aidan Gray Home featuring the Venetian Chandelier with opal and crystal beading and the Corinth Fragment Lamp.  The coffee table is filled with Pre de Provence products that range from everyday hand lotions, bath beads and luxury shea butter soaps.

JLH,thanks for making me who I am today….even the damaged parts.
