I’m not into garden trolls or cement geese. I’ve cut my garden areas back to very small little patches, because, frankly, I’m getting older and I don’t want to do all the manual labor involved in good gardening anymore. I have, however, always liked little metal ‘stick-ins’ for my gardens. Most of the ones I have are small but last year I found a larger piece that I really loved and I indulged myself.
It’s as tall as I am (oh, that’s about 5′ 6″) and it’s starting to rust beautifully!
This year at our local fall festival, the same artist returned. I was quite happy to see him, because of course I never keep track of those cards I collect! I found several pieces that had similar elements to last year’s piece and you all know that I am horrible at making decisions when given good things from which to choose. But hubby was buying, for an anniversary present, so I had to make a choice!
I chose this delightful little basket.
Same leaves and flowers, but none of the kitchen/coffee elements. It was raining when I got it home and took the picture…it should start rusting beautifully, too!
The festival continues today and there are more pieces…I don’t think I’ll indulge in another, but I will enjoy looking again!
Wonder if I could make a basket like that in fabric? With those same leaves and flowers? Hmmmm….
I am convinced now, to make time to go to the fall festival next year.
Fall Festival might be nice, but this guy was at Appleumpkin. Sad to say, Appleumpkin was not that great!
Love it! What is the name of the artist?
He is Paul Mason–here’s a link to his site. http://masonwelding.com/ I just love his stuff!
I love those, Kathy, that guy does cute things. Didn’t get there this year, battling a cold…
We think he’s pretty awesome!!!
