We have been quiet around here at Gypsy Gardeners......but we have not been idle!!! Both of us in addition to our sister sidekick went on the 127 yard sale the first of August........as we say here in eastern NC "My Lord Honey" we saw some great things, some ordinary things, and some things that made you say Hmmmmmmmm. In this short article I wanted to show you a couple of my finds for the garden......there are several articles that I am working on, so stay tuned!!! Meanwhile enjoy the Before/After yard sale finds!!!
Found a Guy that was selling porcelain hand molds that are used to make gloves......I thought they would be really cool in the garden, I'm just weird like that.......so here is the glove mold before going into the garden.
Below is the glove mold after finding their home in my garden.....I have one more that I am going to decorate and use for jewelry.
I know, they are cool.....I think that Agapanthus "Queen Mum" will appreciate them next year when she blooms.
The second treasure for the garden is my Fairy Boy.......now mind you, I found him in a booth that also had a stuffed raccoon driving a toy car and a life size gorilla......but when I saw him I knew he had a home in my garden. Below is a picture of him before going to his new home.
I know, he is very cool.....and the next picture shows him in my garden. I think he looks like he has been there forever!!
The last picture is "Turn of the Century" perennial hibiscus that is blooming in the front bed, I thought you all would appreciate her, I certainly do.
Oh, I love, love, love, Fairy Boy!! I think that is just his name...I am liking Fairy Boy for sure!!

I love your treasures, Karen. Hope to see them in their habitat one of these days. Am enjoying your blog a bunch. I miss Hibibcus...don't see much of it around here, but I can meander through breathtaking orchards in bloom that make it all OK. I love you girl.
