Easy Garden Toadstool.

Hello, again!

Aren't these a fun idea?!

I spied them on facebook one day,

and remembered that I had these up in the attic.

(The good old attic comes through for me once in a while.)

They were on sale at the local antique store a while back:

$4 for all of them,

and I thought that surely something could be done with them,

someday.

Well, someday came.

I painted them all up and sold the little ones at the plant sale...

and kept the biggest for myself.

(I needed one for display, 

of course.)

I have to admit,

I did plant the frog under my toadstool for the picture.

He was hiding in a nearby plant,

so he got forced into the photo shoot.

The funny thing is,

I didn't realize the temptation that was lurking for him.

I didn't spy the nervous slug climbing the trunk until I put these pictures in 

to edit them.

No wonder that toad sat so still for me!

 I did not fasten my bowls down but left them loose,

so they can be taken in during the winter

and given a new log every spring.

 A simple and fun way to add color to a garden!
