Vignettes

When things are hard to get rid of, it makes for great yard art! I love the yogurt idea.

Inspiring.
We’re headed antique shopping tomorrow… going to be looking with different eyes as we go about our travels.

Absolutely LOVE this look … obviously you possess true imagination when finding your “treasures” along with such awesome “eyes” for creating these wonderful Vinettes. Your gardens are really one of a kind as well as beautiful!!!! Well done, well done!!!!!

Oh…I love that rooster!!! The bust is sorta creepy but it all adds such character to your garden.

someone was asking what they could do with an old window—that’s a great idea!!! Going to have to copy it somehow (I don’t have any fences available)

Rooster? What rooster?? lol I had to go back and check out all the pictures again…

Wonderful shots of wonderful gardens! I especially enjoy the scythe under the clock…nice “point”.

after shovelling out from the latest “dump” of snow (over 5’ in places) and with a driveway about 200’ long with sidewalks to match, and sitting here now looking out at that snow glacier with temperatures cold enough to break the balls off a brass monkey

I love the photos, jut love the whismical look of everything.

Nicely done!

I’ve got to say I love the details on the house. I’m at a loss right now of what the name of the style is. Certainly not a craftsman.. Oh well, still escapes me..

Regardless, the work you’ve done on the garden is wonderful and really blends well not only with itself but with the architecture as a whole. I also like some of the whimsical little touches you’d placed throughout.

A few of the pieces have a newer look to them still.. Break out that yogurt and grab a fist full of moss to get some more of that mossy shake going! :)

From what I’d heard, buttermilk blended up with the variety of moss you wish to grow works better then just plain yogurt.

I’ve got several kinda of moss on the property which I’ll be propagating with the above method, soon.

Yah, that about says it in a “nutshell” ... these vinettes do put a smile on my face. But then I have always loved this “look” ... Again, Ken GREAT JOB and thanks so much for sharing these photos. I look forward to seeing more of your gardens come this summer.

Fantastic. I’m with “inthedirttn” I can’t decide which I like best, although I am leaning towards the fence with the shelf made from an old window.

yah that’s one of my favourites as well and shall probably be used with one of the windows that I picked up yesterday.
