CARDINAL TREE PLAQUE


Don't forget while you are designing your garden to include placque's. They can help you to carry out your theme. They can be placed on or around porch, deck or on the wall of your out building (shop, shed or garage). You can even put some on a tree. You decide.

ANTIQUE IVORY FAIRY STONE SIGN


Add ImageDon't you just love to find a cute little sign or marker when you are walking through a garden? Some signs declare something while others give directions and still others may just welcome you. At any rate they are charming and whimsical.

CAMOUFLAGE HAMMOCK


I like to watch wildlife. It can be a little tricky though. You need to blend in so as not to startle them off.
Laying in a hammock that blends with nature has been a perfect remedy.

BLOOM BABY BLOOM POTS


There are so many different sizes, shapes, materials, and colors of flower pots to help you decorate indoors and out. In fact many people that live in colder climates actually take their house planters outside in the warmer weather.
When choosing a flower pot for your plant, there are a couple of things to consider besides how it will look with your decor. Be sure your pot is not too large for your plant. It is a common mistake people make thinking their plant will grow into a larger pot. This is actually not a good idea. Also be sure there is a drainage hole in the bottom of the pot so the roots don't stay wet and rot.

CHANGEABLE HOLIDAY GARDEN SIGN


Have you ever really thought about the noun sign? How important it is. Signs guide us every day, and we probably don't even realize it.
We have road signs, speed limit signs, vendor signs, directional signs etc.

HUMMINGBIRD SCREEN MAGNET


Have you ever been in the house and startled by a loud crash or thud sound. Looking around you discover that a bird has flown into you window or patio door.
While on vacation I discovered some cute screen door magnets. What a difference and a great new way to decorate.

SUN FACE PLAQUE

These are great places to put a wall plaque.

Considering Peace


When decorating your backyard you can choose a theme, tieing several pieces of art together. One such theme could be Southwestern or Native American. Wouldn't this statue be great to use!

Pals and A Pooch


Statuary is used in planning more formal gardens. You know how there is always a statue of Venus in a stately garden hedge maze? Statues just seem more stately, upper crust if you will.
I still tend to lean on the light side, like the Little Boy fishing by the pond or the Little Boy and Girl on the Park Bench.
