some GJ finds

17 years ago

I stopped in (Twenty)Dollar Tree yesterday and also Goodwill. Dangerous places for me, LOL. Dollar Tree had some cute ceramic fairies and flowers. And then I went GW hoping to find the start of a new Totem. I just finished my little cactus garden and wanted a really colorful "Mexican" type Totem for it. I was shocked to find enough glass to probably do the whole thing! On the blue stiped salad plates, I had to buy set of 4 but will use at least two on the Totem I figure. I started putting it together so took a photo of it so far.

hugs, Karen

Muchas bueno on the Mexican totem. I was so inspired I spoke in Spanglish. It is really lovely. I think it will be terrific with the cactus. Being in freezing Buffalo I cant have any outdoor cactus and I just love them. Be sure to send pics when it is put together.

"(Twenty)Dollar Tree" LOL IKWYM - I can only "visit" those stores occasionally as it's way too easy to blow the budget.

Love the Mexican totem tho! I've long wanted to do one using ceramics or pottery but haven't found the right pieces yet.

Are the fairies for a fairy garden? Can't remember if you've done one. They are perfect. The birds are great totem toppers also.

Thanks Gang. I've been playing with the totem pieces today and looks like I'll be making 2 or 3. All the pieces I picked up yesterday aren't quite working together. But that's ok with me.
The cactus I had came from those little bowls that have several tiny cactus in them. Some were given to me years ago. And nothing grows slower than a cactus, LOL. But some definitely to go in the ground now, so I decided to play around and make a tiny cactus garden on side of house in backyard. Area where grass doesn't grow, and also no chance of dogs running into it playing ball. I hope to have photos soon.

Lucky, I have a fairy garden on my back patio. I bought several of these from Dollar Tree to add to it. The fairies came in the two poses, but 4 different colored dresses. They are a mat finish, which can be hard to keep clean. I sprayed them, and the little flowers, with high gloss Krylon. Sure makes them looks prettier too I think.
