Oh, I do like her and I bet she would LOVE to be Ruby's new best friend.

After all, Ruby's owner did lock her in the linen closet, or was it the cedar chest? Whistling Big Grin

Ruby is hitching her way eastward.
Last seen by Gypsy at some kinda biker bar in California.

But I love your Rachel, Tee. Yes, that's her name, she told me so.

I am glad to know this. I was going to ask if she had told you her name. She hasn't said much to me recently. Could be her head was removed above the vocal cords and that's the reason why she has been so hush-hush. I wish I was one of the West Coast Gypsies at the moment. They like to ride their bikes (and drive their cars) up and down the Pacific Coast Highway a lot. I could use that view for at least a few days. Pecalins there too ... lots of pecalins. Big Grin

Sandi, I think that is a very very good fabulous idea. 'Garden Art Giggle Garden'. Then maybe Ruby and Rachael could come back and play with us.

How about it Becky. Can you scoop all of our silliness off of this thread and the others that we have OT'd and start us ladies a 'giggle thread' and put it there? Or maybe Vic? I would love to go back and re read all the late night posts.

That would clean up the Garden Art for easier reference.

Ruby would totally love a 'giggle thread'.
She's very upset with me for taking her away from her Garden Art friends.
She IS Garden Art and she says she belongs.

Whatevah!

The sign is a reproduction. That's my story and I'm sticking to it. Big Grin Ruby and Rachel disavow any knowledge to the contrary.

Honestly, a lot of the threads are so long I doubt if anyone is going to read through them all. They most likely will simply scroll for pictures that are of interest to them. My thought is that there needs to be a "Closed" or "Resolved" designation for threads at some point in time.

Ok, here you go:



I've never split a thread before and I don't know how or if it's even possible to cut and paste threads. Becky is out this afternoon but if she can show me how to get Ruby and Rachel's stuff to the giggle thread, I'll do it...

Thanks Vic. Group hug

There really is no way to move all the stories from all over to the new thread. It doesn't work quite like cubits does. But at least there is a new place for posting goggles! Big Grin

This doesn't exactly qualify for being "garden art" but it sort of fits in with Ruby and her co-horts. This is made of all vegetable material and some deli meats ! Someone gave this to me as a joke. It's actually pretty clever.
The picture is bad since the flash on the camera was messing it up.

I think this is Ruby's "floozie cousin" ! She used to hang out under that sign on PCH. Click on the picture to enalrge it and see it better.

Quite a contrast between that picture and the one in the gilt frame.

Tee: You're right. I never even thought of that ! The one in the gilt frame is my mom's first communion certificate from 1930.
The Veggie Head normally hangs in my garage, not in the house. I just brought it in to take the picture w/o anything else detracting from it. I'll try to get a close-up of it so you can see the detailing of the facial features.

Charleen: No clue at all how it's made or what's holding it together, but the creativity is awesome IMO. I think it was a real "sculpture" and not computer generated, since I got it in 1985.

I knew the gilt frame must have something important in it. It piqued my curiosity.

Yes, definitely post a close-up of the veggie art, please.

Creativity comes in all forms just like beauty is in the eye of the beholder. I get that. Hurray! Hurray!

Took someone some time to make it. I love the facial details...
