Autumn Flower Plate for Your Garden


The colorful days of autumn are almost upon us and it's nearly time to change your garden 
ornaments to reflect the season.


It's Fun to make Flower Plates for your garden!  

This garden flower plate is four different plates glued together.  
The smallest is actually a small cupped plate of shallow bowl

Combining shapes and textures is what makes the plates eye catching.
You really have to put together a lot of different combinations to find just the right one that pleases you.


The hanger in back allows it to be placed on a lattice divider, a planter or in a stand alone copper pipe.



Plates can be hung indoors as well.  My sister in law hung hers on her bakers rack where she keeps her coffee pot, pretty cups and saucers, etc.  It looked adorable.  


A big thank you to Kathryn over at The Dedicated House for featuring me on 
her SUNDAY SHOWCASE  featuring my Garden Totem,.  This post had the most views of all 231 participants 
from Make it Pretty Monday last week. 
What a nice surprise for me!

Hi Jean Marie,

So nice to meet you!

It's funny, but just before I checked my email (where you left your comment on my last post), I was at Mary's Mosaic Monday party and made a note to go back to visit a few of the links that I found interesting...well, of course, your plate piece caught my eye, but you had beat me to it!

LOVE love love your choice of colours and patterns and textures and shapes! And, altogether, they are ADORABLE!

Happy Monday!

Following you back,

Poppy

I love your plates. I have tried to make a few but cannot seem to find the right glue to make them stay together. What did you use? Thanks!

Future Non Scary Trunk or Treat Ideas

Image
We had a Family Fun Night at our church on Wednesday Oct 31 and the public was invited to participate via flyers and signs.  The two hour fun night had several event areas.  In the sanctuary the teens had a fun 10 minute skit they put on every half hour of the evening.  The one side of the church's parking lot had a huge bouncy house and a dozen or so carnival games with prizes and the other side of the church on the parking lot we had a Trunk or Treat.   I participated on the Trunk or Treat event and unfortunately was so busy I didn't get over to the other events for photos. I was able to photograph some of the other decorated trunks while they were setting up to get future ideas.  It was my first time of participating in this kind of event although my grandkids have gone to them in years past.   I charged it up a bit with some extras at the last minute, like lights and some other decorations.   I repurposed my house decor for one evening...so I didn't

Disney World's Polynesian Resort Hotel

When we first arrived at Disney World we took the boat over to the Magic Kingdom.  Mr. Bill remarked, as we passed the Polynesian Resort, he never had any desire to stay there.  It looked boring to him from the outside.  I hadn't thought much about it, but I did like the lit torches when we passed by on the monorail.  I decided this trip, since we had a free day, we would stop in and tour the three hotels on the line.  We toured the Grand Floridian , the Polynesian Resort and the Contemporary Resort From a distance it doesn't look too exciting.  I could understand his lack of enthusiasm.   When we stepped off the monorail however, the entrance was incredibly gorgeous.  The waterfall was something we hadn't noticed as it was somewhat hidden from the view of the passengers riding.  It was framed by colorful blooms and multiply kinds of foliage.  Completely setting the stage for a visit in the South Seas.   Inside the decor was tropical and spacious with o
