Love the green "thing" and your photos are fascinating and could certainly be used as a source of inspiration for some textile creation - I'll work on it!

I love the frog, Laura.....it has taken on that lovely verdi gris patina....I love that, although sometimes the taps in my bathroom have been known to take on that same look !!!!!

Oh so do I ! I love the rust of course and the faded, chippy paint, doesn't get much better than that!

There's nothing like vintage garden accessories. I've never seen a frog like yours, nor that type of a claw (I've always called them 'diggers')! Thanks for the wonderful visuals!
Blessings,
Susie

Hi, dearest Laura - at the moment I am not fast enough for your postings! Wonderful pictures (I also like this stuff - but I don't have any idea what the green "thing" - "frog" - on the first photo is for...?!?) And I also like your posting about words!
So many thanks again, dear Laura!
Hugs, Traude
