That's a good price, and glazed is so much easier to keep clean than the rougher surfaced ones. I'll keep my fingers crossed for you for Valentine's Day, although Wednesday, Jan. 14th is "National Give a Bird a Bath Day". I made that up, but if it gets you a lovely birdbath a month early, who cares?

i talked to someone several years ago who said she would take a plastic birdbath then do a mosaic of broken plates she found at the $ stores onto the plastic.

That sounds like a fun project, have any of you tried it or seen plastic birdbaths that are simple enough and strong enough to hold up?
thanks

I wouldn't wait until Valentines Day if they were that pretty.

I wouldn't wait either, pretty garden stuff goes fast.

I think you're right...they will go fast! I'll probably just have to go there tomorrow and get one. I can tell DH later it's my Valentines gift! haha!

I found a nice birdbath yesterday at an estate sale. It was sitting outside and when I went inside there was another one in the living room and I went over to it checking it out and found out it was plastic. So I past that one up.

I'm so ready for spring to get here.

Maden, go git it!

Cynthia, the thing I'd worry about is the flexing of the plastic. You really can't mosaic anything that will give, because the glue and mortar will crack. Plus, with water involved - added potential for deterioration. I guess you could pretty safely mosaic the base. That might be a cool project. :)
