Garden Angel

. Monday, July 5, 2010 .
I had to ask Mark where we got the banister. He remembered the banister came from an old white barn in Lake Geneva, WI. I know exactly where the garden angel came from. When Sarah was in first grade, when she first came to live with us, I helped out in her classroom doing anything her teacher needed me to do. At the end of the year Amy Feldkamp gave me a garden angel that all the kids had signed on the back. She has since lost her bucket and the grapevine but she still keeps watch over all the flowers in the yard. The jar candles are a little creation Emmy and I made a few summers ago. We have them hanging everywhere that you can drive a nail. And they look so wonderful at night. Magical I tell you. All we did was save every shape and size of glass jar. 'Tied' and piece of wire around the top and a few curled hanging down, a loop on the back and there you have it. The only thing is that you have to empty them after a rain.

I can imagine that you are cracking up...thinking 'are these people crazy!' You won't be the first to think that. Let us know what you thought was a really cool idea...and maybe share some of your own ideas...where do you think we come up with all this cool stuff?
