Thinking of Sandy's Victims

I've been putting off writing a blog the last few days feeling like it wasn't a good time to be trying to promote garden flags or gifts.  Watching the news and seeing photos online, I've been feeling more like it was a time to just be grateful for each good day we get and send prayers to those who were devastated by the recent gigantic store.  I am always so touched when someone who's life has been completely turned upside down bravely stands there and says, " I will rebuild and my life will be normal again"  So to those brave people Custom Flags and Gifts is sending you our prayers.

Applique Fall Flags

Fall is such a beautiful time of year.  The leaves have turned to wonderful colors of red, gold and yellow. There are wonderful garden flags that emphasis those colors. The applique flags are especially nice in portraying the boldness of the leaf colors.  The applique fall flags are also very durable and since they are a little heavier, hold up better to the fall winds.  These are some of the double applique flags that we offer at Custom Flags and Gifts. These flags by FlagCenter in Richmond, Virginia can be viewed equally from either side.

Fall Garden Flags

We are well into fall now, and what a beautiful time of year.  Although I do love summer, there are things about it I do not miss when its gone, mostly mosquitoes, humidity and mowing the lawn.  I am trying to spend as much time outside as I can right now, enjoying the perfect weather.  One of my favorite things to do is to go on walks, mostly in my immediate and adjoining neighborhoods. As I am taking these walks I always enjoy seeing all the garden flags in peoples' yards.  They definitely add color and personality to the outside decor and there is such a variety of decorative flags they don't get monotonous and I rarely see the same one twice.  Lots of people use the holiday flags and seasonal flags and change them out faithfully.  The fall flags range from whimsical scarecrows to beautiful appliqued leaves.
 Here are some of the autumn flags that we offer at Custom Flags and Gifts

Halloween Garden Flags and Halloween Decor

Halloween is just around the corner and its apparent as I walk in my neighborhood or drive around town.  So many yards have "decked the halls " with cleverness and creepiness.  I decided the other day I want to take my grandson for a walk one evening after dark, I know he would get a kick out of the lights and animated characters.  Some of the decorations I see I know are very costly but there is so much you can do to decorate for just pennies or even with stuff you probably already have around the house.

Martha Stewart has some great ideas some very easy to do, some taking a little more creative ability.  One of my favorites is using a pumpkin as an ice bucket.  I also found some cute and ideas from Country Living most of these ideas are very easy yet very clever.  

But of course one of my favorite ways of livening up my outside decor is with garden flags.  There are so many Halloween Flags to choose from.  There are also many decorative flags out there that have a fall theme that you can put up for Halloween and leave up all autumn.  To celebrate the season, Custom Flags and Gifts has all our Halloween Flags on sale for 20% off.  This also includes a lot of our fall flags.  Just put Halloween in the search box and all the flags that show up are eligible.  When you are done shopping "view your shopping cart" and select to add coupon code, put the code "spooky" in the box and apply, your savings will be deducted.  Come visit us at www.CustomFlagsandGifts.com and have a Happy Halloween.

Custom Garden FLags

    Being in the business of garden flags and house flags is highly competitive.  Just Google "garden flags" and you'll see what I mean.  There must be at least a gazillion flag sites.  "So why?" you ask, would my daughter and I, who both already have successful businesses want to jump in to a potentially already flooded market? The answer is "Custom Flags".  We are hoping to be just a little different and offer a little more freedom as far as expressing yourself through decorative flags.  There are lots of  ready made flags out there for every occasion, but if you browse through different flag sites, you are going to see a lot of the same flags.  We want to offer unique and original flags that are custom made with names and photos so no one else in the world can have one just like yours.  I will be the first to admit, this journey so far has not been an easy one.  Challenges with the website, working out kinks along the way that were not foreseen and yes, fighting our way to the top of such a huge pile of competitors has been the cause of a bit of discouragement here and there.We are still very new and working hard creating and adding new custom flags and custom photo flags weekly.  So come see us at www.CustomFlagsandGifts.com and see what we have to offer and then check back frequently to see whats new.  Here is just a taste of what we offer.  Thanks for reading the
Custom Fags and Gifts blog.
