A word about squirrels.....
We are often asked if our Timmynoggys are squirrel proof. Truth is, nothing is if a squirrel decides that they are interested in what you have. If you are planning to use a Timmynoggy to hang a bird feeder, you are going to be dealing with squirrels on your hanger. As long as the seed feeder is of at least 7 pounds for our standard Timmynoggy, it should hold up to a curious squirrel. However, if they are startled, or in a rough-housing game with their kin on who can get to the food first, there is a good chance that they will knock your feeder and Timmynoggy to the ground. Seeds on the ground are much easier than seeds in the air to them. We do have little clips that we provide on request that will secure a Timmnynoggy to a post BUT they will require a screw be screwed into your wood and unless you wire or zip tie the feeder at the end, the squirrel population will probably manage to knock the feeder down while your Timmynoggy stays put. The bird feeder community is full of potential solutions and inventions to combat this but truth is, there is not much you can do to deter them once they find your feeder. We hear using safflower seeds works and they don't care for those, but I've not tested the theory yet. If you have a solution that works for you, please email us. We are happy to pass it on!- Mechele Cummins
Macon! You were fantastic!
We came, we saw and we fell in love with you all! What a great group of people and so many new Timmynoggy owners!
We had introduced some new Timmynoggy styles and they were a hit. We totally sold out! For those of you looking online to put orders in for our new Timmynoggy Thins, our Timmynoggy Banner or our Timmynoggy PLUS, fear not! We are going to be adding these items to our regular website as quickly as the shows are complete which should be the first week in December. Keep checking back. We'll be adding them to the website as quickly as we can make more!
Taking just a moment break from making more to restock our inventory to get ready for the next Christmas Made in the South Show in Savannah, Ga on Nov. 10th through Nov. 12th. Hustle, Hustle, Hustle! Back after it!

Columbus Georgia, we love you!
We had a great time meeting all of you in Columbus as the Christmas Made in the South Show and are happy that so many of our Timmynoggys found wonderful new homes! It makes what we do worth everything. We thank you and we look forward to seeing many of you again in Macon, Georgia this Friday, Saturday and Sunday. It will be terrific to see familiar faces and meet fresh, new ones as well! In the meantime, we are racing the clock replenishing our inventory so we have plenty of Timmynoggys to send home with you! Hope to see you there!- Mechele Cummins
We think we have some exciting news!
HI Everyone! We mentioned in our last post that we were excited to have been accepted to be part of Christmas Made in the South. We will be in Columbus, Georgia, Macon, Georgia, Savannah, Georgia and Jacksonville, Florida. While that is super news for us, we have what we think will be exciting news for you all too! We are introducing 3 new siblings to the Timmynoggy family. Yep, we are happy to be offering the new Timmynoggy Thins which is a "thinner" version of our Timmynoggy Straights and are an excellent option for those lightweight hanging items like little chimes, hummingbird feeders and those little cute, colorful bottles with sprouted cuttings. We use them personally and LOVE. LOVE. LOVE them! Our second offering is in response to you Beach Home Owners who expressed frustration with "everything metal rusts at the beach" issue. Well, we heard you and we came up with our Timmynoggy Plus! Timmynoggy Plus are made with marine grade stainless steel and should hold up to the saltiest air and sea spray. They look beautiful, we think you will like them! We are currently just offering them in Snowbird White, Sea Foam Green and Bimini Top Black to see what you think. If you like them we'll try them out in our other beautiful, Florida colors! Ok, that's two.....the third sibling is our 3/8 banner/sign Timmynoggy. This Timmynoggy will work on your 4x4 mailbox post, or any 4x4 post that you want to display a small banner, for sale sign, real estate signs, lots of options. These are currently being introduced in just two colors. Bimini Top Black and our Fancy Copper Vein. We could go on, and we will but in a different blog post! Check back with us and we'll keep you up to date on what's coming up.
