As all gather knows, Marianne R (and those who do not not Marianne have been residing on another planet for Marianne is known on gather for her beautiful flower photography, her geocaching hobby and 'atlantagal') is moving to the lovely state of South Carolina...."Beautiful Places, Smiling Faces"!! Yeah, I'm a South Carolina resident and have resided in SC all my ?? years of living and glad to have Marianne join us "Sandlappers" aren't we Victoria H and Nana to Sevencutiepies (Gloria)....they are "Sandlappers" too!! LOL (By the way.....M will probably be changing from 'atlantagal' to 'southerngal'.....HeeHee!!)
Well, in Marianne's move to SC, she has chosen not to keep some cool yard/garden art that she owned in Georgia. I am honored to now be the proud 'adopted mother' of these beautiful pieces.....

This little mushroom M nicknamed 'Frankinstien'!! He was all broken up after an ice storm in Georgia and she glued him back together.....(and to think M you were going to trash him!!!!) LOL

If you look closely you can see his little cracks.....I think the little cracks give him character!

I have 'welcomed' them with open arms and they all are very comfortable in their new homes!! Thanks so much M for they have added lots of beauty to my yard and flower beds. I wish you to be as comfortable in your new home as they are in theirs.....thanks again, I promise to love and take care of each one!!

That's awesome, Phyllis, and the yard art looks so great in their new home!
What a nice friend you are to each other. I love the yard art - she does have good taste. and so do you.
My friend Judy let me borrow her wale paintings while she was living on her boat. I was sad to give them back to her but pleased she found a new home on land.
The yard art looks right at home. Such pretty garden adornments, I've never met a butterfly doodad that I didn't like.
