Now that is just precious, kirk! What a memory! I love the terra cotta & the paint decor ... beautiful! TFS! Jeanne S. (heat wave here, too...all this week it sounds)

That is so neat. I can just hear it in my mind.

Thank YOU, Soxxxx... We are kindred spirits! :o)

Wow! What a great project. Your windchime turned out beautifully....that is one tough flower pot if it's lasted 26 years!

Oh how wonderful to use this for such a project! How lovely and i bet it brings back great memories everytime you see it. :):)

A 26 yr old clay pot qualifies as an antique, I think, as they usually get broken somewhere along the way. I looks great & love the vibrant colors & love the gentle tinkling kind. Nice job! Jan

What a wonderful idea! That is really neat.

Thank you for the nice comments! We had our windows opened tonight and a soft breeze was blowing. I heard my new old wind bell and thought of Mom and the wonderful Garden Junk friend who gave me the chimes. :o) I was moved... :o) Bear Hugs! Kirk

what an awesome project. And such a good way to display items from special folks. Bet if you listen real closely when the wind blows you can hear your mom playing you a melody

I must have missed something or have a senior moment, but what did you use for the clanger?

Jamb...there are musical rods in the tube piece (in the first photo) with a metal piece on a wire inside that hits the rods. Sounds so cool! The little clay pot is attached to the wire that has the metal piece on it. :o)

What a great craft idea when I have my grandkids here they can help make one therefore creating beautiful memories!
Thanks Again Kirk NanaHugs to You!

Very cool! Great that it has a story behind it too.

The sweet sound of memories....
so lovely!

hugs, Karen
