The Picket Fence Country Shop is a specialty made-in-America store which offers online shoppers with the widest range of home decor, including folkart. For buyers who are keen to introduce warmth to their homes, folkart is certainly one of the best wall decorations and it can be used all around the home. folkart is described as art that has been created by non-professionals, and usually the artist or creator of the folkart is a self-taught crafter who usually creates art as a hobby or pastime. However, the US is known for its incredible folkart which has remained untouched by outside and foreign influences and the inspiration for the art has been drawn from everyday happenings, sights and occurrences. One of the earliest examples of folkart is Ammi Phillip's contribution of the "Girl in Red Dress with Cat and Dog", which was created in 1835.

However, in the 1960 and 1970s, folkart began to boom and more and more people wanted to bring folkart into their homes, and in addition to artwork, folkart also includes quilts and needlework which is a true-blue American tradition, as well as pottery. The stars and stripes canister pottery set is perhaps a modern day version of folkart, and these handy and great-looking canisters can be used to store cookies, coffee, tea or sugar and the items are dishwasher safe. The All-American Quilts are the ultimate in folkart and quilts are made from rich and warm colors, such as reds, blacks, sage green are offered in various sizes as well as various designs. Years ago quilts were made for young brides for use on their matrimonial beds and many of the quilts were passed down from mother to daughter and often told stories of love or life's journeys and as such, today, a quilt is considered to be folkart.

In addition to the quilts for beds, via the Picket Fence Country Shop website, shoppers of folkart will be able to purchase quilt throws, table runners and placemats, all of which are the ideal accessory to compliment a bedroom or a room in a lodge or a guesthouse.
