Betty Fay’s offers an assortment of distinctive furniture pieces, all of which are guaranteed to be real wood that has been renewed with only the finest paints, adornments, waxes, stains, varnishes, and sealants. Perhaps our favorite type of work in this regard is that of custom furniture refurbishment: We offer our refurbishment services with free local pick-up and delivery and happily negotiate shipping charges for those outside the area. Like all of Betty Fay’s products, there’s no limit to what you can dream up and customize — We’re here to do the dirty work for you!

Featuring hand-poured, hand-painted, concrete beveled rectangles carefully embedded within a hand-poured, hand-painted concrete base, Betty Fay’s original “Everything Stone” is genuinely a one-of-a-kind catch-all. The large “Everything Stone” can hold most anything you can imagine, but our personal favorites include soaps, glasses, razors, face brushes, bath bombs, grooming kits (tweezers, nail clippers, etc.), business cards, office supplies (pens and pencils, paper clips, white-out, etc.), digital devices (phones, tablets, etc.), jewelry (particularly rings!), coins, hair accessories, paintbrushes, make-up, chapsticks, pet treats, feminine hygiene products, and guitar accessories (capos, tuners, picks, etc.) The large “Everything Stone” can also be used as a door stop, a paper weight, a drawer organizer, a gardens stone, and multiple stones make for an eye-catching lawn and garden border. Moreover, use the “Everything Stone” under planters to protect surfaces from water damage and, when used upside down, it makes a perfect coaster (the large “Everything Stone” can hold a bottle of wine, a wine glass, and a wine opener!) When hung on the wall horizontally, the “Everything Stone’s” beveled rectangles can hold necklaces and lanyards. The large “Everything Stone” is a unique, decorative, and remarkably practical gift for anyone with “stuff” in need of “putting.”

We do love ourselves a fun and inventive planter here at Betty Fay’s. We find great joy in nature and in making happy homes for the greenery that populates it. On many occasions, we find ourselves saying, “Well, you could always put a plant in it!” And heaven help the empty container if we happen upon a succulent! We’re not here to limit the realm of possibilities with any of our products — use our planters for loose change, car keys, or tea lights, for example — but we do feel confident in saying that your plants will love their new homes if you choose to employ your planter in such a way. Many of our planters are designed with drainage holes or systems to ensure that your plant gets the air that it needs, but we’ll include or remove a drainage hole free of charge depending on your needs. No need to worry about the lime content of concrete or the toxins in paint unsettling your little green ones — All of our planters are sealed with a high-end, non-toxic sealant to ensure that seepage and poison are NOT on the list of your problems. Plus, “Dr. Stinkers” line of organic fertilizer, complete with specialty mixes for succulents and fertilizer-loving plants, ensures that the pH of your plants is always exactly right. As always, we’d be thrilled to make a custom home for your plant friends and those of your audacious loved ones. No matter how big or how small!

A tribute to women’s strength and beauty, our vases were created from draped microfiber that was repeatedly saturated in high-end cement. They were then sanded, sealed, primed, hand-painted, and finished with a thick coat of resin, providing their lustrous shine. Perfectly suited for that pop of color you’ve been looking for, our draped vases are in no need of flowers to serve as a popular conversation piece. They can, however, hold approximately 24 ounces of soil and are equipped with a drainage hole if you’re looking to add a distinctive touch to your houseplant collection.

Fully customizable, our draped vases are a perfect gift for your audacious friends. If you’re considering gifting a vase, ask for a complimentary 24 ounce bag of our very own handmade soil — “Dr. Stinker’s Le Soil”— to complete the package. If you know the type of plants the lucky recipient typically grows, you can request “Dr. Stinker’s Le Succulent,” a favorite among cacti and succulents of all varieties, as well as “Dr. Stinker’s Le Cow Poop,” most enjoyed among plants that need extra fertilizer to be their very best. If you’ve any questions about our soil, please don’t hesitate to contact us for ingredients!

If growing plants isn’t for you or yours, the drainage hole can be filled with cement for free upon request. If you’re unsure about its ultimate purpose, most plastic cups easily fit within the vase, ensuring that one can have their potted plants and cut flowers too!

Consider our jewelry line. Stone? Resin? You've been conned (or "con"creted, that is.) Each and every piece of our concrete jewelry is hand-crafted, hand-painted, and purposefully made for comfortable all day wear. They are, in fact, no heavier than any large statement piece. Due to the vast array of colors and custom possibilities available, our jewelry can be used to complement a multitude of outfits for any occasion. No two pieces in our jewelry collection are alike and each singular piece is an affordable way to make that older shirt or sweater in the back of your closet ‘pop” with a fresh and different look. Whether choosing from our current collection or designing your own custom piece, Betty Fay's stunning cement jewelry makes a unique, thoughtful, and welcomed gift. The distinctive beauty of every piece ensures that your choice will be, unlike a gift card, warm, personal, and always identified with you. Audacious jewelry for audacious you....and your audacious friends.

What could be nicer than viewing your out-of-season garden and actually see the color that brings you back to spring and summer? At Betty Fay’s we take great pride in our concrete garden stones. Our passion is to create garden stones in-laid with handmade, hand-painted mosaic pieces (what we call "mofayskis") or carefully selected stained glass that will accent your yard, garden, or walkway, create conversation, and bring you joy. In addition to more traditional shapes, our stones come in an endless variety of unique shapes, such as paw prints, birds, leaves, and even an octopus, to name a few. The possible shapes of custom garden stones are limited only by your imagination. Additionally, "Mofayskis" and/or stained glass can be set in any pattern of your choosing. All stones are carefully sealed to repeal the elements and retain beautiful colors for years to come.
