Gnomes!!!!, you've got to love 'em or hate 'em but the're here to stay. They even go on holidays.
Ornimental fountains, with the sound of trickling water, can really set off a garden.
But hey, have the best of both worlds. A couple of gnomes frolicking in the cascade of water from the fountain.

have't seen gazing balls mentioned. i picked up a mirror one last year when biglots started selling out summer stuff, then got two more later in yellow and blue. they sit together on a mound i'm tying to fill with flowers. i'm keeping an eye out for a red one also to have the three primary colors.
This lawn is decorated with used and thrown spoons... take a look...
And here is some awesome natural garden art... Oh! my it takes my breath away..
I actually love the spoon decorations. I wonder what inspires someone to look at a plastic spoon and think, "Yeah that would make an awesome garden decoration."
The spoon decoration is really unique!
This stone fairy house (or maybe it's a bird house?) makes a lovely garden statue, I really like it, I wouldn't mind having it in my garden:
That is a beautiful little stone house. I like that it looks weathered, like an antique that's been there a long time.

It is a really innovative idea.. a great way to use stuff that would otherwise add to the piles in waste dumps. I also found some neat flowers/ pendants and lamp shades made from spoons. They are innovative too.

Amazing. I love those lotus tealight holders. When they're illuminated, they look expensive.
The pineapple light is also really cool. These are brilliant ideas for plastic spoons.

Claudine, It isn't really hard.. since the spoons are naturally shaped that way. I did make some fro my son during the holidays. I am used to making roses/flowers with wax to decorate my handmade candles. This is just child's play compared to that.. but you need to wear protective gloves to avoid burning your fingers.Maddie, the candlesticks look gorgeous, it's hard to believe that they're made from plastic spoons. I wish I could make something like this too, it's a lovely decoration

I should give it a try then. I really like making things like this. I often use plastic spoons when I have classes so if I stop throwing them away, soon I'll have enough to make a nice decoration. Thank you for the inspiration
I love adding statues and decorations to my garden. I think it gives it character and helps personalize a yard. However, I do think that too much of it can make the yard look like it is full or junk. I try to limit the amount of statues and accessories I add to my garden.

In the olden days, I remember the fountain in the garden of our rich relative in the province. They have a big front yard which contains flowering plants and some fruit trees. The statue in the fountain is a little boy that is naked which is holding a sort of water bin. We used to play in the water of that fountain and my grandparents would scold us children because the water is dirty, they said.
