Garden "Treasure"

Lots of us have added objects to the garden to give it an 'exotic feel' or remind us of a holiday. I hadn't realised just how much we had tucked away in the garden. Here is a rogues gallery of some of it.


A couple of Jars, the large one was an Ikea bargain (under £15) and the small one came back from the Philippines with us in 2006 - only for me to knock something onto it and chip the lip :roll: :lol:


Foo Dog - a gift from my sister for my 30th - not what was she trying to tell me :drunken:




Buddha head made by a friend from a mould.


Chinese lantern - one of two in the garden, this was an Xmas gift the other was from my parents.


A small Giraffe from Akamba - they had some massive ones (which also had a massive price tag)


A tidy way to store the garden canes that we seem to accumulate - I quite like the effect. Also some spinning 'things' we brought back from the Philippines - I have so far managed to avoid breaking them :D


Love em or hate em, we have quite a few wind chimes in the garden, although most seem to need a gale to make any noise.


One of a pair of Indonesian masks known as the Baxendale masks - purchased at Camden Lock Market rather than Indonesia and both joined me that evening at a gig in Notting hill where Baxendale were playing - hence the name :D


And last but by no means least a pair of Tits - a gift to Mark on his birthday last year :hehe::hehe:

A few more things are in The webshots Gallery

So what horrors erm I mean Treasures are in your garden?:yho:

 

Oh it all looks lovely. Your garden looks so good. I love the idea of things like that but somehow I'm not good at 'ornaments' I love the idea of the cane tidy. Excellent. Now I have to find a large container....................

 

Love them all Gaz, especially the Giraffe, and The Baxendale Masks, AND Dont Know about the Birds tho hehe..

HI TG, I went Clothes shopping Last week! and came upon a Marketplace selling Homemade Cheeses, Jewellery, Metalware etc and I had to buy these






Not a Closeup, Sorry, on the fence middle of pic.. I Love them..

 

Lovely. I need to get more "treasures" for my garden. We were down in Devon a year ago and I collected some great pieces of driftwood on Boscombe Beach that have been arranged into a vaguely artistic bit of sculpture, but the ferns are currently hidding it.

 

I Would Love to see pics Aaron, I bet The Driftwood looks great with the ferns.

 

Inspiration....... I have a little wall space left.. now I wonder what will fit on there?:D
Great post
