I thought it would be nice to have a thread to share and show off all our store bought garden decorations and art.

My latest thanks to a Facebook friend and Home Depot - a solar powered pink flamingo night light

Hi everyone !
I bought a bird cage during the slow winter months with the idea I'd find a new creative home for my semps. Here is what I did.

they had tulips and doves also
and owls that I didn't see when I was there but their website said my store does have 39 in stock.
the flamingo and coconut coir bricks were my main priority

Kurt: Oh, I love that pink flamingo!! Lovey dubby I'm going to check my local HD to see if they have any and if not, I'm gonna order one for me and one for my sister!! http://www.homedepot.com/p/Ham...

Kathy, Thumbs up great job ... that bird cage is so pretty planted up with the semps! I sometimes order craft stuff on-line and recently saw a little cage like that, I may have to order one of those for miniature Tillandsia plants or something.

You guys are such enablers! Green Grin!

OK, I'm futzing the theme a little bit, someone could have bought this if it was for sale, and it was made by someone who sold ceramics he painted -- my father! This is Jeremy, named by me at birth; he was given to someone, but had an accident years later, leg was broken off (not one you can see) I could only use caulk to repair it, so now he has a permanent brown armband from where the dirt got on it, but he lives with me now, and is very happy to be out of the garage and on the deck of his new home!

I have garden friends, too. Their old friends of mine. Garden Guardians. May have lost some hair over the years, but then haven't we all. My grand daughter says "Gramma - they are gross". Awwww but their my friends.
