I can't keep up with you, Roselee! I don't dare to do that in my garden but it looks great in yours.

Omar

Omar, wait until you retire. Then it might be a whole 'nurther story ... :-)

Nah,I think you need to be able to conjugate many elements to make it work: artistic eye, attention to detail, healthy plants, right amount of decorative items, dedication and right design (among others). Otherwise, it just doesn't work. Obviously you have that skill and I don't. :D

Omar
PS: By the way, have you ever checked out Pinterest.com (junk garden, garden decoration, gardens, etc)? If not, I think you would like it a lot

Omar, thank you for your confidence, but anybody can do what I've done IF they want to, big IF ... LOL

Yes, I check out a few Pinterest sites. Lots of ideas there for sure. If you have some favorite sites send them to me.

I'm getting ready to do one of the craziest things ever in my front yard tomorrow. Bob is raising his eyebrows. If it turns out well I'll take pictures. If it doesn't few will ever know ... :-)

Roselee, Is that the Madonna Cactus? And, I was trying to figure out the birdhouse. Is it a door up above it? Your garden is always so interesting. Love the way you arrange all the gifts from friends.

We love junque, too. We found this Cheshire Cat at the flea market for just two dollars. Couldn't resist adding Alice and the white rabbit, lol. We're trying to get the pink Mandeville vine to wrap around it.

Junque? It's all good! :-)

Irene, your arrangement of the Cheshire Cat. rabbot and Alice is darling! What a great idea to use them with a Mandavilla vine. That makes it a 'story book' garden for sure.

The cactus is another of the same kind as the Madonna form, which has grown so much now it doesn't look the same.

The seeming hole in the 'steeple' of the 'church' bird house has a piece of colored glass in it to resemble a stained glass window.. A dear friend who lived a few doors up made all the birdhouses I have plus two wooden benches I have in front. Then she had a terrerfic garage sale and also gave me a bunch of stuff when she moved.

Okay, I see it now. A steeple with a stain glass window! Love it! What a dear friend to make all those birdhouses for you.

Well............

Omar

Omar. It took me a few to figure out what the "well" was about ... LOL The project doesn't look as startling/striking as I thought it would. Son Doug walked right over it and didn't even notice it.

Funny thing is Bob liked it so much he wanted me to make it wider, which would take a chisel! I'll take a picture tomorrow.

Well? :-)

Lesli

Well? :-)
