    My garden is dominated by a huge weeping willow tree which we wouldn't be without. He is a very handsome beast, as you can see. :)

    Just amazing, EJ. Where are you getting all this stuff. Have you been making the rounds of all the flea markets --or have you emptied all the garden centers within a 50 mile radius of your home?
    This is a smashing decoration. It looks very Scandinavian, doesnt it?

    A lovely character you've got there EJ! :D He looks friendly enough, even I would dare to go near him.

    I really like his green ivy hair!! Do you keep it trimmed so that his happy face can always be seen?

    Mum actually got him for me from some catalogue or the other. She loves to browse, and anything 'interesting' like that she treats me. Good mummy! :) So, he only decided to show himself this weekend, and yes, the ivy took a lot of trimming to make him comfortable. I think I will let the ivy get a little closer to him, but not to much, I like to see his big ole cheesy grin.
