Frequently Asked Questions
(i.e. asked at least once)

Why won't the Sweet Polly site work right on my computer? This site was designed by my husband, who is a novice at web design. He used Macromedia's Dreamweaver to design it and tested it on his version of Microsoft Internet Explorer. He does not have the software or expertise to test it on other systems. If you are using Microsoft Windows and Microsoft Internet Explorer and are having problems, send us an email describing your specific problem and we'll see if we can help.

Where did you get the spiral trees you have in the dinette, dining room, and family room? I found these at a local store, Flowerland, several years ago. Flowerland carried them for two years, then they disappeared. By the time my friend and I decided we wanted more we had thrown away the boxes they came in and had no way of finding out where they were made.

How did you construct the divider pictured in the Dining Room? Most people who saw this divider in a store would be thinking about whether it would fit into the decor of their house. Not me, my immediate thought was how I could use it to expand my Department 56 display area. Click here for the details of how I converted it from a planter/divider to a Department 56 display.

How did you construct the displays that sit on the shelves and other flat surfaces? All of my displays are built on
wall insulating foam cut from 3/4" x 13 5/8 x 48" sheets. Please click here for a step-by-step explanation and pictures.

What is Buffalo Snow? It is a polyester material that is non-allergenic and flame retardant that looks more like real snow than anything else I've found (www.buffalosnow.com). I buy it at Michaels Store (www.michaels.com).

| How do you get the smaller accessories to stand up in all that Buffalo Snow? I stick 3/4" tacks to the bottom of each piece with hot melt glue and stick the tacks into the foam bases the pieces sit on. (Click here for a more complete description) |
