VE Day celebrations - glassware & jellies

At Country Matters Hexton we have a good selection of vintage glassware, it will make your garden tea party have that special 1940s feel.  Make some jellies ahead of time, make them a even more special by adding some gin (or any other alchohol!)

Re-use and Re-purpose - Jars and bottles

  Please visit our Facebook page share and like us to spread the word.

At Country Matters Hexton we have a new supplier of jams, pickles and marmalades.  Most of the jars are re-used, the labels are soaked off, and then put in the dishwasher and ensured they are fully sterilised before adding lovely homemade produce...no more jars going to recycling until they have been reused a few time

I will admit to buying this on a market new - so more of a re-purpose than a re-use as it had no lid, but with a lick of paint it now matches the garden, there are brush marks, but it is fine for the garden!

We have lots of plants suitable for pots, and they and a great splash of colour to your garden.

I completely forgot about this - so will post now, so that you can all be prepared for next year.

Did you want to plant out a few vegetable plants in the garden and it is a bit early as the nights are a little cold, you can put a cloche over the top and they should be fine from April onwards - you may even be OK in March too.

We have a selection of plants for the summer, and here is an idea to put them to use.....

Have you got a tired old saucepan, that has a bit of character?  or a colander or something similar?  There are some interesting things in the shop that could fit the bill.

Well how about planting it up?  The colander here is perfect as it already has drainage holes, no worries about drilling them, but you will need to add them, or if that is not possible put a lot of stones/crocks in the bottom, and make sure you do not over water.

We have many items in the shop that can help you make something like new, or of use again, as well as items for sale that are already preloved ready to start a new life.  We throw so much away when there is a lot of life still remaining it just needs a new owner.

Up-cycle

Sometimes we have small pieces of furniture that are just perfect for an 'upcycle' project, and we also have a supply of Frenchic paint available to bring some beautiful colour to your project.

Or you can keep them just as they are :)

So pop along to our shop to see if you can find something for a project.

Some of the chairs are tucked under so come along for a rummage.
