i'm having a little too much fun this summer with marine glue and cheap vintage dishes! wouldn't ya say?

i picked up several wooden garden hoes at a garage sale for $1. then had brad cut them in various lengths. i glued shabby chic odds and ends together in the form of a flower and attached them (glue again) to the garden pole. they're suppose to be china flowers. the originals that i saw... were attached to a metal concrete pole. which we have no access to...and i didn't want to spend $$. each china flower cost under a dollar to make.... i've picked up a nice bunch of dishes at garage sales this summer for .25 or less. smile, wink, nod.

p.s. it gives my garden a little spunk!
