We first drew up the sign for Lolo’s Fudgery at Vala’s Pumpkin Patch more than four years ago. They loved it from the start. Each year it would come up for consideration as we drew up the wish list of projects we would build for them. Sadly, other priorities would bump it from the list each year to hopefully be included the next time around. This year the sign finally rose to the top of the pile and we finally got the go-ahead to build it. They had the concrete pad poured and the sign installed in minutes. It looked right at home and with a little landscaping, it will look like it has been there forever. Some things are worth waiting for…
Celeste's new home
This year’s installation at Vala’s Pumpkin Patch is now complete. Celest is now in her new home in the Storybook Garden. Over the next weeks, Vala’s landscape crew will complete the sidewalk and landscape around the dragon to finish things off ready for guests who arrive in about a month. Today was spent planning the exciting features and signs for next year. It’s going to be fun!
Authentic detail!
While I’m at Vala’s Pumpkin Patch in Nebraska the crew continues the work in the studio and at the Hazelnut Inn. The crew sends me reports of progress and photos from time to time. Today I received a picture of the Bubble’s Barn sign. It is looking fabulous! I received a closeup of the taps which made me smile. I’m old enough to remember such a set, complete with the rust starting to form at the joints on the cast iron plumbing. This feature is over the top in every way possible!
