This will go in the “toadville” section of my garden. Hopefully I’ll get a toad to take up residence

I have a child’s picnic table that has been painted yellow. I intend to paint the top to look like bricks and place my emerald city in the corner of the back yard.

They are less fragile when painted. I’ll use them to make beautiful arrangements, mixed with other dried and silk materials. Pictures will follow.

I plan to restore it with new paint and a new cushion.

Can’t wait to get started and have them all ready for spring.

Using flea market finds for decoration, and metal flowers that look like daffodils. Ready neat.

Locate a white pot to fit it so I have it ready to plant with red flowers.
