LOVE em!!! And your echanachea too!!

LOVE HIM!!!! What a cute idea....hmmm....I'll have to show this to DH!! And, I love your little ants in the second picture too!

I NEED some of those! Grin.
Have the welder, but Bill is no longer
here to use it and I don't know how-sigh!

Nonacook I agree..I NEED some of them too...so cute and $5 is a good price for those, bet they were hot sellers! Oh the ideas going into the "later on" book..sigh

I have a welded dragonfly that is fancier but then it also cost me $25 so I think you got a great deal. Like everyone else, I'd love to learn to weld or better yet, wish I had the equipment and could put my Bob to work. he-he I agree with Marlene that your purple cone flowers are gorgeous. Love those carnation-looking centers on that variety. And what are the ants made of in the second picture? They are adorable too.

Very cute and a good price too. So many cute things to be welded together.

So cute! What a good idea. I've been wanting to learn to weld and salder. Maybe I'll give it a go. :)
Arlene, what variety are those delightful pink flowers? They look like cone flower, but with a fluffy top knot. I must have some!

The coneflower variety is Pink Double Delight Echinacea - new for me this year. I love them too! Here's a close up:

The ants are some I bought at Hobby Lobby last year, they are pretty heavy metal. Here's a close up of those:

I like bugs in the garden! I also have a large preying mantis and another dragon fly that just sits on a rock. Hobby Lobby usually has them in the early spring but they sell out fast.

I like all of it. The coneflowers are beautiful! Dragonfly is very nice & ants are so cute!! Wish we had a Hobby Lobby!! Jan

The first thing I wanted to learn to weld was silverware. Neither my son or I could do it. We'd melt the silverware. I think you need a special "wire" made especially for stainless steel. My wire is made for iron. I gave up on the silverware -- sigh ... I just love that dragonfly !!

Found out my local garden store has that echinacea, but they want $15 for one little plant! That's beyond my budget. :(

what a great buy! I love it and the ants too!!!(-:

YIKES, blooming! The original price on this one was $6.95. There's a nursery near here that is HUGE and they close mid-June. They always have a huge sale the last week they are open - starts at 25% off, and by the end of the week it is 80% off all remaining stock. I think I got it at 60% off. They reopen again in August for mums. Their mums are HUGE and 3/$10 - a great place!

That is very cool.
Love all the bugs in your garden & the purple coneflower too.

Great idea with the silverware. Very creative idea to recycle the fun way! ~tenderlee

luvstoclick...Great bugs! and a great buy on the dragonfly! And drollin' over those coneflowers! TFS! Jeanne S.

GREAT dragonfly. My son-in-law is planing to learn welding this summer and wants some ideas...maybe I'll get a dragonfly if I give him the idea...ya think???
