~ Anniversary Find ~

Hi Friends, Hope you had a great weekend. We had a road trip for the day to Palm Springs for our anniversary and found these great cherubs for our garden. At one of our favorite places to shop for vintage and antiques treasures. I wanted to post them up for ~White Wednesday~ which is hosted by Kathleen over at ~ Faded*Charm ~ and also for ~ Show And Tell Friday ~ hosted by Cindy at ~ MY ROMANTIC HOME ~



One Cherub is holding some wheat in his hands. I need to rearrange that area of the garden with plantings of catnip and a small pink rose such as the knock out roses to surround him.








They are probably from the 1930s - 1950s. And boy I tell you they weigh a ton. But I'm still recovering from surgery and missed the chance to help pick them up and place them in the garden. Thanks to Ray, and our dolly they performed that task.





Here is the second cherub holding a basket of roses. My favorite flowers and Queen in my garden. Since I am not able to grow peonies out here in So.Cal



Well I hope you all enjoyed the pictures and please visit the other participants. Have a great weekend treasure hunting................Julian

    Those are great cherubs. What is really cool, I think, is that everytime you look at them, they will remind you have this anniversary! Happy Anniversary to you both!!

    Take care, Sue

    Congratulations on your anniversary ... I hope you had a wonderful and special day.
    I love the cherubs ...You find the neatest things for your garden.. I'm wondering what is in the background of the second picture...it looks like a bush wrapped up in something????
    I'm always peeking in the backgrounds to see what I can see. :^)

    Julian, I hope that your are well on the road to recovery! Sorry to hear you had surgery, but I hope that it was successful and alleviated any problems you were having.

    Those cherubs are STUNNING! I love them! They would make a garden an even more special place to visit.

    Thanks for sharing them with us and Godspeed in your healing process.


    Happy Outdoor Wednesday...
