I like the pot candles. I wonder how bright they are? The twig bracket is cool too. The boots don't do it for me though or the wall planters either really. They look sort of odd hanging there. I think the solar blue bells are my favorite ones.

Yeah, I would definitely use nicer looking "pots" on my house. I'd like to put something growy like that on my roof, give it that "it's been here a couple hundred years" look. Oh, wait... didn't I just paint over that look? LOL.

Let's try this again...

I agree with Seil about the Bluebells, very nice. I liked the hen and chick hangings at first but really they look like nursery flats. They need a frame. Looks like a good do it yourself project.

The sphere lights, though I can appreciate them, look like Dr. Frankenstein wants to harvest some lightening.

DJ, I think it's Norway or somewhere like that that they put sod on their roofs and actually graze sheep and goats up there. You could try that!

Loretta, you hit the nail on the head. They do look like nursery flats. Frames are exactly what they need to make them look finished off.

Lol, Dr. Frankenstein lights, I love it.

Haha! I want the glass, and apparently gas-filled, lightning balls for the lightning rods/arrestors on my barn roof. I've heard that the old ones actually lighted up when lightning was near. I found a link once with some antique ones; I'll have to see if I can relocate them during my computer reshuffling.

LOL. That's all I need, sheep and goats crashing through my roof. LOL! Or worse, their calling cards crashing through my roof.

The glowing flowerpots are very pretty but I would want lots of little ones to decorate my wall rather than big ones.
Did you see these on the same site?http://www.gardeners.com/Funky-Chickens/default/StandardCatalog.DecorativeA ccents_Statues.37-370RS.cpd I really like them and they have names awwww.
The hen and chicks are alright but I agree, they don't look quite finished somehow. Didn't they used to grow them in cowpats on the roof?

Neoprene boots are great but I would have to road test them to see how long they last when really put to work. I killed my normal wellies in a couple of months. BTW 'bogs' is a slang word for 'toilet' in UK.
The bird branch is really sweet. Want one, well several actually.
The bluebells and light spheres are yummy. When we have recovered from Christmas money shortages I will have to add to my solar collection!
Thanks for reposting all the links on here DJ. I don't honestly think I could have coped with the confusion having to check on both threads [OoGBoO]
Phew am I caught up now? How did you manage to write so much with the system crashing all the time?

Really? Wow, I thought Wellies would last forever.

Well, I would be wearing them in the chicken toilet... LOL. Back before my parents bought that nice shed for my chickens, I wanted to build a wooden outhouse for them (the chickens, that is) with a little crescent moon cutout on the door. Then one day it occurred to me that it would be funnier to build a brick outhouse and call it "the brick chickhouse". LOL. You might have to think about that one... I assume you have a similar saying over there across the pond...

Growit wrote on Thursday, January 03, 2008 - 04:51 pm:

Oh, yes, I saw those in the catalog. They are cute! I like that they wouldn't eat much or poop much. When my chickens finally die out (eons from now), I think I might leave their pen in place and put something like those in there in their place. LOL.

Glad you cleared that up DJ. I was worried about your parents for a minute there!

HAHA! Indeed we do. Unfortunately I didn't have to think very long at all. I obviously mix with the wrong class of people. You should definitely do it. That would be sooo funny!

I found the name of this site utterly repulsive and couldn't imagine for the life of me who would ever want to eat a cake from a place with that name. Having visited the site, I now understand.

Absolutely not! LOL. I had been trying to find a picture of a pink, flowery bunny to go with your devil bunny incident, and that was one of the sites that came up. I never did find a good, irritating bunny pic to post for you. I gave up looking after the fanny cakes. LOL.

I've seen these "cakes" at showers but never knew that was what they were called. That's a hoot!

Okay, Moira, I found something just for you. If you get the ones in pink, I bet that would be just the guarantee you've been looking for that these wellies would last you forever. LOL.

I wish these things were available in local shops:

Ha, this is a great idea! They'd go nicely with Dori's bowling balls.

By the time you tied the orange boots, it would be time to go in.
