Showing Off Plants

Just a post to show off the beautiful plants!

Aren't they gorgeous?

My Mom and I are throwing around the idea of having a plant sale in mid-May.

We started way too many plants (again - how does that happen every year?).

Last year we gave away the extras, but this year I think it would be fun to have a plant sale.

We could sell plants and I could sell a few of my cement mushrooms and glass plate flowers.

So, if you live in central Minnesota and want some plants........

Birdbath, Blooms and Junk

Oh, yeah!

It's JUNKY!

This is a pic of last Tuesday's haul from Goodwill.

I had my little gardening friend, A., over

and we went crazy.

Then we stayed up until 12 o'clock making

glass flowers!

Now A. is just as addicted as I am to making

garden (junk) art.

All of our finds - What could we possible DO with this junk?!?!

A teapot birdhouse.

This is a work in progress. It still needs paint and

a cute sign to welcome the birdies.

We are thinking : Welcome feathered friends,

but we're open to suggestions!

A birdbath.
Remember those 4 soda/malt glasses from the first pic?
And the blue bowl?
Here they are reborn!
P.S. It's not crooked - I just have a leaning problem

These are the backs of the plate flowers.

You can see the bell hangers in these pics.

A.'s plate flower creation.

She gave it to my 86 y/o grandma.

So sweet!

My plate flower.

The plate is very iridescent in the sun, but

of course the sun WOULDN'T come out!
