Purplemoon, Thank you for the sweet welcome! And thank you so much for that link. What a wonderful compilation of art---just amazing! Just as I expected, I was still up looking at the GJ Inspiration Album when I noticed the time -- 2:20 A.M. ! I didn't just look at the photos. I enlarged, cropped, magnified just so I could inspect every detail up to page 9. (guess you know what I'll be doing tonight when the family settles in and I have the computer all to myself. LOL) I had spent the last few weeks reorganizing, pulling out, moving, transplanting, changing focal points and now I have a whole brain full of new ideas thanks to all of you who have posted photos! I have an album at PhotoBucket but it only includes nicer areas of the gardens. Never dreamed anyone would be interested in my camping coffee pot or tennis shoes planters! I'll have to start taking new pictures and this time include what I used to think was "my way of saving the landfills and me being thrifty --- and anyway, who wants to see dirty white tennis shoes planted?". That's what I used to think, now I've found this board! Also, more about me --- other than a few 4", 6" and 8" clay pots to use as starters, there isn't a pot or plant stand in the backyard that I've ever paid for. I love curb shopping!

That is without a doubt the cutest chicken coop ever! Those chicks of yours are very lucky! We've had chickens for quite a while...they are very entertaining too! We are down to one little banty rooster, but he definitely rules the roost! And by the way....chickens LOVE hostas!! So don't plant any close by....they will look like they've been through a shredder!

Susie, LOVE the garden plate sign shutter! Yeah, when I saw your flawless plates I couldn;t imagine smashing them either. You done good! Terry, I love where your gargoyles are! They are perfect protectors! Now, just make sure they don;t get knocked down on top of your car! And I'm telling you--I went out looking and poof---there they were. I asked God to help me find them too--he ALWAYS comes through! Someones junk sure made your TREASURE! :-) Love, Jules PS: I'm focused on getting kids back from camp today and packing for our camping trip that we take off to tomorrow. We rented a Jeep Commander and its got so MUCH ROOM! :-)

I have some that I bought a while back that are made of porcelain pottery material that has been fired that I am going to make a fountain out of if my hubby will ever help me finish it. We have all the parts ready have drilled all the holes basically have to put it all together with the pump in the big basin. I am determined to get him to help me on that project very soon so it can go in the atrium. My neighbor said she would help me if he didn't. I have wanted some type of water feature in the atrium since we moved here. Jasdip I know some of the people on garden junkers talk about drilling holes in theirs so it probably could be done, I would be terrified of shattering the glass. My husband was saying it would be really pretty with tiny lights inside too. Big Lots had for Christmas these tiny tiny lights on a strand with a battery pack they were about the size of a match head. I knew I should have picked some of those up on clearance! LOL
