Garden antics. followed with a welcome cup of coffee


First a fun digital page  that had these three long nosed sniffers, trying to smell the flowers.
I hope the scent is stronger than the smell of the  tea they are about to drink.

The theme of,  ... In my garden there is....
at Art Journal Journey


has me in a Fantasy Garden mode  today,


Can you just imagine these two posh birds discussing
life,  and how to maintain their garden.





These pages were made using  my own photos  and  images from Mischief Circus.

Now, I am off to visit with friends  at
T stands for Tuesday


Its been an enjoyable  month for me at AJJ  and lots of cups of tea and coffee  have been drunk



fresh from the oven, Ginger and Cranberry scones


With a cup of coffee, the smell and you have my word for it,  was delicious.

With gardens on my mind this month
 I am sharing some photos with you, taken when we visited a garden center at the weekend.

We only went in for a packet of Coriander seeds
but I just had to take some photos .


I had a big smile on my face seeing these tin animals for sale,
Could you just imagine these in your garden?





Even a mini car

In the big glass houses, it brought to mind the words....
If you go down to the woods today.... be sure of a big surprise.


 A long post from me today, I hope you had a few smiles when you looked at these photos..

Happy Tea Day everyone
 and thank you for calling in to see me.

  1. What a fun post today! Love your long, sniffy noses! The garden page is lovely, too with those strange birds in the garden. The garden place you visited has some fantastic stuff, although I'm not sure I would want it on my little balcony! But I wouldn't mind a couple of scones! Happy T Day, hugs, Valerie

  4. Oh Yvonne those metal creatures certainly would make some great garden art.
    I can almost smell your gorgeous scones from here = Yum!
    Those three sniffers are so expressive in your lovely collage.
    Your posh birds are very wise in another super collage!
    Happy T Day oxo

  5. Love your art today and I'm such a sucker for those tin animals and things for the garden. I love them but don't own any as they are usually more that I want to spend . Happy T Day!

  7. OMGosh! I LOVE the big sniffers page!!! Just adorable!

    Garden centers are one of my very favorite places to be, always so much color......makes me want one of everything! I fell in love with the tin figures, how cute. Now my brain is working on figuring out if I could make them with recycled plastic bottles....LOL!
    Happy T-day and thanks for the visit and the comment......I think I have that poem tucked away somewhere too.

  8. Coffee and scones? Yes, please ;) I love yard art, but most is too big for my space. It makes me smile, though, to see pieces like this in garden centers. Thx! Happy T Tuesday

  12. What fun art you created. Love the sniffers and the crazy birds, too. You make digital come alive!

    My neighbor made a dog that reminded me of the animals at your garden center. His is not as colorful as those, though.

    I would love a scone and coffee, please. They look really out of this world, too.

    Thanks for sharing your art, your trip to the garden center, and your beautiful scones and coffee with us for T this Tuesday. I loved it all.
