1. These are delightful. You gave me a big smile.

   1. I’m glad you liked them – I keep finding more things in my files I might have added!

      1. Well, I guess you can do a sequel, Susan.

2. The potting shed WITH all the pots please and the summer house are things I crave. The pebbles are rather nice too 🙂

   1. They are nice. The planter makes me wish I was more of a carpenter.

      1. I wish I was more practical altogether. I used to be, just got out of the habit.

3. I desire pebble plant markers!

   1. They seem to be the most popular. 🙂

4. Great pictures Susan. I love the picture with the ‘rocking horse.’ Brings back many memories from my childhood.

   1. It must have been fun to have one like that. We had a wooden rocking horse our Papa (maternal grandfather) made for us – Mama covered the seat and gave it a mane, so it was a team effort. The Bush radio you can just make out in the same picture brings back memories for me.

      1. It was good fun, but could be so dangerous if you were a bit on the heavy side. Quite a few bruised foreheads from rocking too hard.

5. I’d like the bug hotels for my garden please, though I must say both the planter and the feeder are charming too.

   1. The bug hotel is as attractive to humans as it is to insects and you can’t say that about all of them. The planter and the feeder are well-designed and constructed. I think they are my favourites, though I like the plant labels too.

      1. I wonder how long the lettering lasts on the plant labels. They certainly are a much more attractive option than white plastic ones and something I’d like to try myself.

6. Oh, the feeder, please! I assume the wall and house come with it. What a lovely setting!

   1. They really ought to.

7. Fun stuff! 🙂

   1. Thanks Eliza.

8. Hello Susan. I really like your pictures of the city skyline bug hotel and the potting shed.
   Thank you! Rita

   1. Insect hotels come in all shapes and sizes but I think this is the neatest one I’ve seen (in both the UK and US senses of the word).

9. I love the pebble plant markers . What a great idea!

   1. They almost make me feel like labelling my plants 🙂

10. One could make one’s own stone plant markers with indelible paint. The trick would be to keep the pebble in place. Plastic topiary? Hmm.

    1. The topiary shot was taken on the edge of one of the oldest topiary gardens in the world, Levens Hall. The rest of them are real, needless to say!

       1. Well, I suppose not everyone has the skill or patience to grow and trim up their own boxwood elephant. I certainly don’t. (But really, plastic! Ugh!)
