TOYS AT THE BEACH FIND A NEW HOME IN MY GARDEN…

I found a few Mattel cars at the beach this weekend lodged in a sandcastle, left behind and forgotten. I scooped them up and smiled to myself just imagining what a great addition to my succulent garden they would make. As you can see from the photograph below it looks like these toys were pulled out to sea, sunken and left behind from a day of play at the beach. The great thing about a succulent garden is adding to it as the years go by and building on its theme. Creating small changes and adding a little whimsy keeps a garden interesting and fun and constantly evolving in the feng shui design of the landscape with creativity, balance and newness.

    loved your serendipitous finds. they add a lot to your succulent garden. we had another night and a day of snow. I’ll send you some pix later. I call it popcorn or cotton candy snow. You’ll see why.

    send us some of your sunshine and dry weather, please, asap!

    Nice! It took me a year before I realized I could put funky found ceramic/glass objects in the garden and they’d be okay over winter :) I’m originally from Wisconsin where everything freezes and then shatters. Great picture!

    I found that bobbing head Chihuahua dolls make an excellent addition as well!!!!!! They really balance out the thorny cactus and give the garden a softer feel while maintaining the same genre.

    I wandered on over from InDoxienation. Not sure what I want more, the lovely gardens or somebody like you to tend to it! Okay, really, the latter. I always start each year with the best of intentions, and by the time the pollen makes me sneezy and the heat makes me sweaty and the mosquitoes make me itchy, I’m done. Ahh well…
