Plow & Hearth is a trusted national catalog, retail, and internet company specializing in unique, enduring home and lifestyle products that are quality-built and guaranteed to meet our customer's expectations.

What began as a small retail store in Madison, Virginia in 1980 has grown to include our flagship brand, Plow & Hearth®, plus two others that have joined our family during the past quarter century. Plow & Hearth offers unique, high-quality products for home, hearth, yard and garden.

First I thought, Plow & hearth was meant for garden and when I started browsing, I found some really cool items for the home. Consider this bean bag made in USA.Great gift that will be treasured and used everyday! Sink into comfort and don't worry about about the spills as there is child-proof safety lock zipper to prevents spills.
 Considering the shipping cost of a huge bean bag, I chose to review this Tiffany Table Lamp. Handcrafted, copper-foiled stained glass is complemented by the bronze patina on the cast-resin bases. 60W bulb lighting illuminates the glass shades beautifully. It came packed wonderfully and everything was in perfect shape when it arrived, including the glass shade!



I love the strings that function as on/off switch.My son easily pulls the string to switch it on when it's time to read. It has 2 bulbs and can be very bright.We usually go with one. The bulbs were included with lamp.

The cast-resin base is sturdy and I love the whole look of the lamp and it compliments the decor of any room. For $99,  this is well made and made to last.

Set of Lots and Lot of Trucks DVD ( R+G)- 3/20

Watching trucks pass by has never been so exciting until my son was born! Wow how little boys love trucks . This DVD was perfect for my son as he adores watching these hard working trucks in action. He often would sit at the window and watch snow machines at work or the digger and I am sure nothing ever makes him as happy as watching a truck. So this DVD was a treat for him. He came to know the names of different kinds of machines and how they work and help us with their strong arms.
You'll thrill to the crunching power of massive steam shovels, watch in awe as mighty logging machines saw through massive trees in seconds and witness real fire-fighting rigs in action! Plus, there's tow trucks, toy trucks, and plenty of trucks and tractors from down on the farm! See everything from big-rigs on the road and garbage hauling trucks to giant dumpers and mini-dozers - youll find them all in this fantastic collection! Special Bonus Section features a look at some good lookin trucks from the past!
Length: Approx. 40 Minutes


Not seen in almost 25 years, this 3-DVD SET has been digitally re-mastered to bring you all the ground-pounding, dirt-flying action of the greatest monster truck shows on earth!

Loaded with history making video footage, highlights include:

*THE FIRST SIDE-BY-SIDE MONSTER TRUCK CAR CRUSHING RACES EVER!

* THE ORIGINAL 1974 FORD BIGFOOT and BIGFOOT IV!

* THE FIRST EVER BUS CRUSHING EXHIBITION!

* MONSTER TRUCK FLOATING WATER RACES!

* INTERVIEWS WITH FAMOUS DRIVERS AND OWNERS!

* THE WORLDS BIGGEST TRUCK!

* TONS OF CRUSHING ACTION THAT WILL BLOW YOU AWAY!

This DVD in my opinion is suitable for older kids who can understand that crushing and destroying are meant only for certain vehicles and for a purpose. I did not let my son watch it more than once as he is still not old enough to understand that concept.I do not want him to simply think that crushing and destroying are normal. Older kids and adults who are fans of monster trucks will be thrilled to watch it! I found the presentation to be great and does justice to a monster truck fan who will buy this DVD set with hopes of enjoying it. It will deliver what it promises to show.
