Hit the local Goodwill today. Was a very bad, bad Pete. But got a lot of new junk for $7. Can't wait to use the polka dot dessert plates!
Found a couple of sort of bud vases with larger bottoms. Like the idea of using wine bottles because of that larger flat surface upon which to glue the other treasures. What I found today were sort of a good compromise.
This project wasn't supposed to cost anything!

By the time I got a planter and miracle grow potting soil for the Begonia's I got for Mother's day I spent like 30 dollars! Well, I got to the cash register at Target and found out what I thought was the regular price for the planter WAS the sale price,good grief!

I made my Tipsy Pots, and have a small piece of rebar left to make a smaller version too.  http://gizmoquilts.blogspot.co…..-pots.html
A tip about the Tipsy pots – put rocks under the base to stablize the whole structure (husband thought it wobbled too much).

Okay, so you had to settle for "next to nothing" — but what treasures that will outlast your memory of the $7. By the way, I've never left Goodwill after spending $7 or less. I'm a sucker for glass — pretty much glass anything, with depression glass at the top of the list, but anything that strikes my fancy — I'll find a use for it.

I thought I took a pic of her hanging pots to show you but cant find it.
She took 3 sizes of clay pots, a 10", 8" & 6". Put a washer on the end of a chain and put it up thru the bottom of the 10" pot. Then up thru the 8" and then the 6". They are hanging on the porch eve. Just like you would stack them to put on rebar in the flower bed. Kind of tilted, very cool with hanging plants out of them.

I dont know Cindy, I click here and browse and read and then click there and after a dozen or so clicks I have no idea where I am or how I got there. Very frustrating when you want to see something again. I think I started with googling "found object art".

Like the scarecrow, and love the little 'guys'. I just love unique yard art. Is this not also called 'outsider art'?

google outsider art, it's very interesting, some may call it primative.
