The law of attraction

As the saying goes 'like attracts like' so imagine my surprise when Mr Postman dropped off a parcel yesterday with a very distinct shape...

Remember his beakiness:
Well guess who's arrived....


His girlfriend!!  So I emailed the seller to say that another one has arrived as I only ordered one and the response was that it was a mistake on their part and that I can keep the new addition! mwahahaha!  I wonder now if after this post there will be more..... (sorry neighbourhood). Now waiting for the garden to be sorted out so I can display my bird friends.

And while on the subject of the laws of attraction,. remember the raffia hula umbrella that I wanted:

Well well well, I only popped in to a shop yesterday to find they had them on sale reduced from £25 to £6! Don't know if this reflects the demand on these ;o) Of course I took it home but not in red, oh no, in blue baby yeah! Perfect for the little man to sit under and have pictures taken which he will be embarrassed of when he hits his teens :o).

Now where did I hide those life size garden gnomes and plastic wishing well.....

  7. I have always wanted flamingos in my garden but a groovy blue parasol to match-AMAZING! Get some matching blue mdf and some bamboo poles to make a cheesy bar to match and you have my perfect garden.

  9. Yay! Kylie is definitely right, 2 ARE better than 1. I must see about trying to fashion some legs for the two I've got who are lying around literally legless in our garden.

  13. Hi Scarlett! Ohh, sounds like you had a great trip! And about those flamingos...I have two of them as well. LOL I have them at the campground by our travel trailer. Nothing says "I want to be your favorite neighbor" than 2 pink flamingos hanging out in your yard!

  15. I'm so glad your flamingo has found a little friend - perhaps some day there will be a flock of pretty flamingos! Oh no, now I can't get that song by the Kinks out of my mind!

  19. Woohoo! What a marvellous mistake on their end haha! So peeeerty!

    We plan to start on our garden next year after we've done the living room. I'm definitely going to be grabbing myself some pink flamingo lovelies to stand against my trellis of pink and red roses I am planning on having on the back wall!

    I wont be having any gnomes but definitely plenty of green man garden ornaments to watch over my garden and keep it growing nicely! xxx
