Bling and her entourage at the Garden Show

Yippie….We had a ball yesterday at the Garden show!! Bling was in rare form that’s for sure and my friends Susan, Frankie and Paula were pretty darned good sports when I was  posing the panda at every booth!! Can you believe we were there from 9:00 till 5:30?

Bling convinced me to ask the guy in this booth if she could pose with this statue

ABOVE IS BLING AND AN ANTIQUE AFRICA SCULPTURE…THE GUY RUNNING THE BOOTH WAS LAUGHING SO HARD.  THIS SCULPTURE SEEMS TO BE HAVING A GENDER CRISIS

ABOVE:ONE OF MY TREASURES I BOUGHT FOR THE GARDEN

We ran into Marte who I have bought garden art from for years and hadn’t seen here in about 5 years!! This metal ball she cuts and welded by  hand and painted in a rich orange.  I temporarily put it in my bird bath as a water feature!!

And here is my big purchase.  A 10 Foot tall hand made rain chain with graduated Gingko leaves!! The largest leaf at the top is 18″ wide!!!!   This eventually will have water piped up to the top and a small pool below for it to drip into.  I am so thrilled with my purchases!!! Even bought a Hellebore with panda eyes (in slideshow)

I talked a crabby guy into taking our photo..hee hee

Below is the slideshow …you can click the INFO button for the titles and descriptions to turn on.  I thought poor Paula was going to die when I asked a strange guy who was quietly  reading his book while we ate lunch, to take our photo.  He was so emotionless it just cracked us up.  I really should have taken HIS photo too..hee hee hee
