I'm making a trip to our Dollar Tree. Sure hope they have some of those, because I want to try David's suggestion.

While you're at the Dollar Tree, look for these little pink and blue plastic baby strollers Lynn. Paint them any color you like...

I'm not really a party person either Charleen. Just a discount store snooper always looking for some little piece of junk to make something out of!

Good Morning! Smiling

Hurray! Good morning Charleen. It is so good to see you. Group hug

I really do need to look much closer, and also visit the party sections of Dollar Tree.

The Oleander Moths love Desert Roses too. They snuck up and ate almost all the leaves overnight last week!

I really like the way it looks in this hypertufa pot I built though. I'll send new pic's when she regroups and is in bloom...

Smiling Good night!

This second picture is of how the "Faerie operated Gnome Baby Daycare Center" looked today. I tip my hat to you.

I was surprised to see how much damage the Oleander moths did to your Desert Rose. Crying It is a pretty plant though and looks perfect in that container!

Back in the days when author Anne Rice was big news and vampires were a hot item in New Orleans, I used to make a variety of vampire related art including these ceramic masks in many styles that I used to sell in her gift shop while she had it and in my own little Gallery. I still have a few, and think this one looks fun on this plant. The plant was sold to me as Aporocactus Flagelliformis which I am sure is wrong. It looks like a Rhipsalis to me... Does anyone know for sure what it is here?

Good Morning!
