Beach Love Photograph Art Every Day 357

Garden Plate Flower Art Every Day 355

Living in the south leaves me dreaming of lush, slightly overgrown, chock full of kitch, baubles and bits gardens.  Now, I live smack in the middle of the suburbs and wanting to put a clawfoot tub in my backyard and fill it with flowers is frowned upon...right now.  The thing is, I still yearn for that kooky-eclectic garden. 

I have been slowly collecting bottles for my future bottle tree. 

I have a great tree and am searching for the perfect outdoor chandelier to hang from its boughs.

I have a pile of pennies and I'm looking for a bowling ball to attach them to.

I have proudly displayed my recycled vase and plate bird bath/feeder.

I have ideas of furniture painted bright colors for outdoor sitting.

I pick up a rock whenever I go somewhere new for my rock garden. **Bring me a rock when you come to visit!

See, I'm not really concerned about flowers, yes, they are lovely, but I really like green things, succulents, vines, andthings with leaves.  (okay, I admit I LOOOOVE flowers, I just have a black thumb, greens are lovely and easy!)

So when I am stumbling around the internetz I like to stop by Digging.  A lovely site dedicated to awesome gardens.

On a 'Digging' garden tour of Austin TX I saw some lovely plated on poles, like flowers...  I HAD to make one/some, a hundred.

Today I finally experimented and here's what I came up with:

Okay, there is only one spoon 'leaf' in the picture, but after seeing it this way I am going to attach at least one more, maybe two.

Looks sparse like this, but I think with 2 or 4 more the cluster will be perfect!

Echinacea Art Every Day 332

You can't tell from these flowers, but it has been face-meltingly hot 'round these parts the past few days.

If only I looked so perky and fresh in this weather!

Yarnbombing Art Every Day 288-290

The past three days have been filled with POM POMS!

For...yarnbombing!

I may or may not have participated in yarn bombing a local bench.  There might be some Pom Pom flowers that got planted, and possibly a fence donned in Pom Poms!

Thnaks to all the folks who helped ot with the alleged pom making!

Check out some of these pictures captured!  And the folks who loved it.
