Garden Deco

Like them?
A friend of mine makes them.  It's her version of decluttering or 'cleaning out the cabinets'. She takes dishes, bowls, ceramics, candle holders, etc. that she no longer uses and converts them to yard ornaments.  Pretty cool, huh?

Happy second day of April.

Two years ago, when one of the girls in my book club got married, we held a wedding shower for her, and one of the other ladies made bird feeders out of cups and saucers for part favors. I was reminded of this when I saw your pictures.

I saw them making those funky flowers on HOme and Family -- instructions are online at hallmarkchannel.com -- I have to do it. These are GREAT!

Susan Kane said...

Creative ideas! Would never have thought about working china and pottery into a garden! Lovely.

J.Q. Rose said...

Lovely additions to any garden. Our church has a garden tour every summer. One of the "garden angels" made these to sell at the craft corner. Cleverly done.

These are very well done and original. I love the first one which is a bird bath I am assuming and the next 2 would look great in a garden. Happy April!

Sandra Cox said...

I love garden tours. What fun.
Good job to the garden angels.

It is a great way to recycle isn't it, Stacy. Nothing goes to waste;)
