flower lady ornament

i like her just like that with no paint! amongst the plants she looks lovely

smiles, plain and simple is usually better.

I varnished her just to be on the safe side, double layer on the base. I did think about gluing a bit of wood to the base to hold her off the ground, and might yet; want to see how she bears up.

lol amazing what you can find in charity shops!

She looks sweet. I also like it without paintig. Stone colours looks perfectly with green.
Fran, what does it mean charity shop? How does it work, please?

They raise money for charity - people donate clothes, books, and other things that they don't want any more, and the shop sells them to raise money for their good cause - most charities have such shops. The shops are usually empty shops, lent to the charities for free, or a nominal rent.

In America I think they're called Thrift Shops, not sure what they're called anywhere else.

found an entry in Wiki for it

Thank you :)) Here (SK) they would raise taxes even on charity shops, I am afraid.

very nice...i like looking and finding little things in charity shops....

lol Jane, I bought about six items, but this is the only one I wanted to keep when I got home. the rest went back into the bag for the next time I passed the shop. (I tell a lie, I kept my little Worzel Gummidge scarecrow as well)

My problem is, when I give stuff to charity shops, I daren't go into the shop for a while after - I'll see something and think, that'll go with the one I have at home, and when I get backI find out that it WAS the one I had at home!

:-)))) oh dear!!

*s* I did buy some items back until I realised, now I either aviod the shop for a while or try to remember htat if it looks familiar, there's probably a reason!

:-))) now there's a good thought...
