Greetings Friends! Hope you have had some time to relax this weekend. Don't you just love a fun garden sign? Old or new, humorous or thought provoking, I enjoy looking for them in gardens I visit. Today I'm sharing some of mine...

I found this large metal Garden sign a few years ago 75% off at my favorite thrift store. Since then I have used it several ways.

Recently, I recreated it as a business sign for my Etsy herb shop. I found the other letters at Hobby Lobby 50% off and repainted them all the same lime green.

The birdie chalkboard was also 50% off at HL. I thought he was so cute...

I'm afraid the sun has faded this yard sale find, but it is still one of my favorite verses--such a good reminder. It's hanging on a broken chair I repurposed as a trellis; soon it will be full of morning glories!

Last but not least, is a photo Dear Firstborn took of my stamped stepping stones.
