~Spring Garden Urns~

Hello Friends, I hope your all having a good day in the garden or on your patio. Today I was not able to post new pictures of something else. You see my camera phone took a dive today. So I am posting some photos from an older post I had done earlier. I am joining in on the fun at Colorado lady for ~Vintage Thingies Thursday~ And also for ~Show And Tell Friday~ Hope you have a chance to visit the other participants to see their goodies. Have a good day..Julian These two urns are cast iron from the mid to the late 19th century. We found one at a flea market in Long Beach. And the other in a shop called Sisters in Redlands Ca.
They do come in two peaces so it is easier to transport. But being they are cast iron they are still heavy. But beautiful to enjoy and look at.


In this one I placed roses in it but I hope the heat from the sun and iron doesn't cook them.



Well thanks for visiting today. And I hope you all enjoy being in your garden also...Julian

  13. "Beautiful" ..as usual ..I love how you used the moss to look like a water fountian ..Is that store bought moss or do you get it off the trees? .. we have tons of it here on our Oak trees ..I just need a grandkid to climb them and bring me some ..lol ..I will be copying that idea in my yard for sure ...You're always an inspiration...thanks :^)

  14. The urns make a great statement in the yard, better than planting a tree and blocking the view. Thanks for sharing.

  21. Gorgeous urns and the moss looks wonderful cascading from the urn. My husband says I never buy anything light. Even the movers commented they had never had so many heavy pieces in one move!
