    Looks like the gulls are ready to take off. Do you ever get Carolina Wrens to nest in items like your watering can? They seem to nest anywhere.

    OO you are clever Donna!! I really love the watering can with the colourful spoons. Jerry is right those gulls could take off and fly at any moment. What a flair for the artistic you have. :-D

    Donna, you really have an ability for making the most out of almost nothing! Amazing seagulls, the watering can/spoons are lovely. Are the spoons wooden? I wondered, since the colors are so vivid and it seems you couldn't do that with metal spoons (but if anyone could, you could!).

    Those sea gulls would feel right at home here! And your water can/spoons are just too cute! I would have guessed they were wooden also. Great job!
