Garden tchotchkes

When planning my garden design,

I always know what the main flowers will usually be-

my favorites, of course!

But,

just as important as the plants-

are the tchotchkes throughout the garden!

I find treasures in many places-
a great source

 to find garden decor is,

 my fav GW or any thrift store-

I'm always on the lookout for iron, metal or tin objects

 that can stand up in a little rain-

stone and ceramic stands give plants some lift-

a garden can hold just about anything you want

as long as you love it and it puts that smile on your face when you see it amongst your buds!

Well, gotta fly, Claire

Spring is in the air!

Dragonflies are a sure sign of spring

with summer peeking around the corner-

They are so popular in home decor, jewelry,

fashion, fabrics, garden chotchkes-

I have a silver marcasite dragonfly pin that

always adds a touch of jolly to my jackets-

So, when I spied this wall medallion at the Christmas Tree Shoppe- it belonged to me- not only because I love dragonflies-

 it's a replica of a wall medallion

  I've seen in Ballard's home decor magazine-

Now, this is what it looks like

in the fancy smancy magazine-
the plaques come in bronze or cream
I chose the cream-
can't wait to put it in my porch!
I'm linking up to Knock it off

Well, gotta fly-Claire
