Looks great, must be a heavy piece! I love the spring with gazing ? ball on it! Interesting reuse of things! Jan

Whew! How did you get that thing up there? lol! It looks heavy! Looks great and I love all your colorful "garden junk". It really adds color before the flowers get a chance to bloom. You have some really cool pieces!

Cute! I LOVE the red ladder! It looks like something left behind by Jack after spilling his magical bean seeds! All the bright colors on all the unusual "stuff" is really fun! I am going CRAZY with bright colors of spray paint this year, but your "stuff" is much more eclectic and creative than mine!

I really like the metal person with the flower pot in it's belly on the right side of the photo. I have always thought it would be great fun to use the copper pipe people from the bladder leakage medication ad on TV as a model and make a standing planter...did you make yours? The tripod legs like yours would make it nice and stable...I hadn't thought of that!

I am enamored with your concrete "pipe" planter in the lower right corner of the photo. I want to find some big concrete pipes, but don't know what to ask for...what was the original use for that size pipe...do you know? Thanks

I'm very lucky to have a son who brings me "things" from where he works:-) Lots of old truck and machine parts they are throwing out.

The driftwood is quite heavy and with the wind today it didn't move much, LOL

The red ladder was made for my Christmas decorations but I felt it never really got much use for that short time so in the garden it went. Just out of camera range is an old apple ladder painted different colors and also a metal man like the metal lady. He holds a bird feeder. I had those two along with several other pieces made for me. It looks like she has tripod legs but there are only two legs with a tripod end on each leg to help hold her up. I have a lovely straw bonnet for her and I remember seeing a manly hat at the Dollar store for him:-)

The big pipe is really really heavy and came from the road construction when the built the sub division behind my house. It has a big crack in it and they could not use it. I boldly asked if I could have it and they gave it to me and even rolled it in place:-)

you have lots of cool stuff.and you painted them in such awesome bright colors :D

love your driftwood turned into a sign. i haven't hunted for driftwood lately, but it has flooded a few times since. i should walk on down to the river and check the tree lines :D
there's hardly ever any on the beach, they plow it all the time..no shells either. *sigh*

How lucky you are to have a son who is a source of such great industrial found materials! I just love your garden and the beautifully painted driftwood sign. That's the wonderful thing about junk gardens, the color and interest they have even when the flowers aren't in bloom.

Yipee! Its lookking springy. I like your sign especially the flowers you painted.

What a great to use the driftwood. I love it. Also spent a lot of time looking at all your other goodies.

Good for you, textilejo! Recycling that big culvert pipe into a planter AND getting them to put it in place for you! LOL! I also love your "path" thru your gardens. Jeanne S.

You have lots of interesting "things" in your garden for sure! Your driftwood turned out nicely and makes a good entrance for your garden...thanks for sharing all of your garden junque with us!

Very nice! I really like the pretty bell-flowers you painted on the ends of the driftwood. Your garden looks like a very fun and interesting place.

The metal flower pot person is cute too, besides a nice place for a pot of flowers. (Yep, I like those copper tube people on the tv commercial, too!)

Love the ball on the spring and the pretty headboard and your path. Thanks for sharing. Oh, I just went back and looked at your picture again, I meant to ask, the little angel, hard to tell, is it iron?

I LOVE your driftwood !! You're sooooooooo lucky to have found such a big piece ! It looks awesome. Paint me green with envy !

that's too cool and I hope you don't mind, I put that picture in my 'draft' folder...
I'll explain in a new post I'm going to put up in a few minutes.......

You have a nice garden with so many recycled pieces of art. The driftwoods is lovely, and I really like the gazing ball on the spring. Its great that DS can find such interesting things for you.
