Garden adornments....

Just a few of my items that I have strategically placed around my garden...
They all mean a lot to me and some of them have been purchased by me and some given by family or friends with love......

Meet Gary:-
Such a nice friendly gnome and he has the job of looking after a tiny patch of my garden. The girls in the shop where I brought him from because he looked like he needed a home... had nicknamed him Gary... so Gary it is then!!!

Then we have Quackers.....

My daughters partner gave me this.. I fell in love with it when I was having a look around his/their garden and when they next visited ... he came in with Quackers for me!!

Then we have my lovely sun and moon clock...

My alternative mode of transport (well that's what everyone else calls it!!) For me, well its my much loved broom that holds special memories of things past!

Mr Chuck... a Christmas present from daughter and partner

Memories of my childhood... just love watching this on a windy day! The picture also includes Mr Chuck and few of my other friendly garden gnomes... more pressies from my Daughter.... I am a very lucky Mum!

And finally my weather vane a gift from the OH....

So many more garden adornments to share with you but will save those for another day!!

Lovely post, Jane! I think your garden is just like any other room in your house and reflects the personality of the folks living there .. I love gnomes! and the clock is really unusual, I've never seen one like that before. I would love a weather vane, as our house is quite high up, so it would work well .. I think I'd have one with a hedgehog on it!

willow thank you so much for your lovely comment!
I sometimes wonder about my personality and the things I like. I can be quite quirky. I do not have to have things to match in fact very often just the opposite!
Think the weather vane with an hedgehog on it sounds like a great idea!!
I have another little weather vane and that has a witch on it. Sadly it does not really work that well but its interesting to look at.

Lucky you to have things in your garden that you love! The addition to our house has sompletely destroyed my garden - which was never much anyway - but I can't wait til I can decorate with something other than construction debris!

Shirley thanks for the comment... I have many other nik naks around the garden (to my OH dismay!!) and will share those another time... You can have great fun making plans for your new garden and once you get started their will be no stopping you! Can't wait for some photographs when you do get things sorted!! Jane xxx
