Just a suggestion...
More people are interested in things for the garden than are interested in
sundials.
So maybe you could restructure your marketing and your website giving more
emphasis to the sculpture and the garden aspect?
The sundial aspect would still feature, but just less absolutely prominently.
Also, maybe you could make up some "products" with "buy now" or "contact us
about" type links to make the purchasing process smoother.
I am looking at your website from a blackberry so I may not be seeing it
correctly and the last point may be redundant.
Don't know if this is helpful. Good luck.

Hello All:
I'm sure some of you are wondering how the current economic conditions have
affected the sundial business.
As you might guess, it is not good, since we sell luxury non-essential
goods.
I can only speak for my own business, Sundial Sculptures.
Beginning two or three months ago, I began to notice a decrease in sundial
orders and inquiries.
It has gotten progressively worse.
New sales have stopped completely now. I'm only working on completing old
orders that were made before the economic crisis began.
I'm worried about the future.
So, the reason I'm writing you all is to ask for any suggestions that you
think might help get more business.
I tried improving my website, but that hasn't helped.
Thanks,
John
