Plate flower - I gave it to my grandma - It's the prettiest iridescent plate in the sunshine. Of course, the sun refused to come out when we were at her house!

Great haul and you did remarkable things with it! You can kind of see the irridescence in the plate in the picture of all your buys from GW. It looks very pretty with the different colored globs on it and you placed them so well. And who would have thought that some ordinary glasses/dessert cups would make such a gorgeous birdbath? Love the blue and the butterfly. I think the birds will really like that teapot too. Great buys and great ideas! TFS!

Hey wow, you did get some neat stuff. Do like your idea with the tea pot for a bird house. Your bird bath and totem are pretty.

Great stuff, and you posted finished pictures as well. Very nice!
I love that plate that you used for the flower, I pick those up whenever I can find them.
The teapot birdhouse is just too cute. How is the top fixed and how did you attach it to the board?
Lovin the blue feeder!

I can't take credit for the teapot birdhouse I stole the idea from someone on here.

I just used a combination or GE silicon and GOOP to glue the lid and the teapot to the board.

thank you

Thank you for all your nice words!

It's so nice to have people to share this hobby with.
None of my family or friends get it. They just look at it, roll their eyes and say, "Yeah, it's junk. Why are you so excited about it?"

*sigh* Too bad for them!
