Inspiration

One of the best things about the flower show is the inspiration you take home. Here are some ideas you might want to incorporate into your yard. We'll start with the reasonable and move to the outlandish....

This birdhouse has half of a suet feeder attached to its roof.  The feeder is then filled with potting soil nestled inside moss.  Then plant material is added. How cool, how doable!!

This house listed its plants. Love the nest on top; perfect for a lazy bird!

Everything in this space was pink, so the faux cotton candy machine was perfect. The 'cotton candy' was made of pink batting. Where you get pink batting, I have no idea, but it wasn't painted; maybe dyed? Made me think of a baby shower for a sweet baby girl, or perhaps you could use gray batting for a bubbling cauldron at Halloween.

What if you had an adult party planned and you decided the kid's slide was killing the vibe? Maybe a friend with a nursery would rent you some flats of annuals! It's possible!

But seriously, this inspiration stole the show!!!

It was the piece de resistance!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 

Can you figure it out?

Tomorrow, the scoop!!!

Until then,

Ideas can be life-changing. 

Sometimes all you need to open the door is just one more good idea.

Everyone who's ever taken a shower has an idea.  It's the person who gets out of the shower, dries off and does something about it who makes a difference.

The way to get good ideas is to get lots of ideas, and throw the bad ones away.

Night time is really the best time to work.  All the ideas are there to be yours because everyone else is asleep.
