My Brother's Garden, and Fun Whites For You

These are pictures of my brother's yard.
He gathers unique treasures.
Rusty can with sedum.

Rusty mailbox with flowers.

Unidentified critter.
(what does it look like to you?)

How about this cross he thought of and had put together.
It is an old rusty pick ax,
on a rusty steel pillar.
Love it!!

And he collects hearts for his yard.

Sprinklers.

Rocks.

Another Sprinkler.

Another Rock.

And here is my brother.

The biggest sweet heart of all.

A little white for you.

A gift basket full of goodies.
A donation for a Cancer Research Fund Raiser this week.

And look what I found.

I love it.
I took it all apart,
(so my sweet fella would not have to wire it and hang it for me).

and turned it upside down.....

Sweet cloche, don't you think?
Hmmm. wonder what I will put in it? =)

Here are some things I have been working on,
(and Braggin' about) =)

A new Baby Shoe Bouquet

Three Projects Finished

Nest Box, an order for someone.

Framed Friends Collage, another order.

And a second Friends Collage, same order.

Short and sweet. Lots still left to do! =)

Here are a couple of my thrifty finds this week.
(oh, should have saved this one for Blue Monday!)

I love this metal box. It was a couple of dollars.
Would you believe I saw one at an estate sale for $10.00?
I thought I was paying a lot at $2.00!
And of course my sweet fella is saying,
"who on earth would pay anything for an old rusty box?".

How may of you would have bought it??
