I’m a sucker for Pink…all of us are…I’m also a sucker for pretty dishes…especially Pink dishes. Well, look what I found at the Master Gardeners Herb and Plant Fair…
Yard Art made of layered Pink dishes…looks like a luncheon plate, a shallow bowl, and a salt shaker!
If you look at the top of the pink rose, you can see that it’s actually a salt shaker! The craftsman who made it is from Austin. She had the most amazing combinations, but I knew this would be right at home with the Opal Basil and the Polka Dot plant. I may let it spend some time in the side yard with the Purple Coneflower which isn’t purple at all, but a wonderful, bright Pink.
They were in full sun when I took this shot and the color is a bit washed out, but would you just look at all those buds! The flowers last forever and the center turns orange as it matures. Then the little finches come to eat the seeds. The deer love the flower buds, but leave the full open flowers alone. These are behind a little fence and I spray them with deer repellant to make them less attractive to the does and the fawns.
I’m heading out for a Margarita, some queso, and a fish taco in our favorite cantina on the banks of the Guadalupe River. But first I’ll link up with Beverly at How Sweet the Sound… I’ve noticed that my link is out of date, but my Blog guru, Nancy at My Crafty Little Page is not available to help me fix it…she just got a new knee last Friday and she is still working out the kinks…but, you know how to find your way back to Beverly’s Pink Saturday party.

That sculpture is so very sweet -- I can't believe that lovely rose in the middle is a salt shaker!
Enjoy that margarita!
That yard art is so neat. Never would have thought of that.
I love your pink yard art! Who would have thought to use a salt shaker! Too cute!
Love it! I use s & p shakers on my plate wreaths too.
A Margarita sounds wonderful.
Happy Pink !
I have several of those in my yard too. I love yours I'm a sucker for pink too! Laura
That garden art is darling, I'm thinking of how I can recreate it myself. Dinner sounds scrumptious.

That garden art is so cute and such a creative use of old china plates, etc. I too, am a sucker for old china. Happy PS!
Hello LaVerne. The pink yard art is awesome. A very clever idea. I wonder what kind of glue was used. Pretty yard and pretty flowers. I think that deer away smells awful. Something like dog doo. HA!It works though.
Wishing you a happy pink Sat. and Father's Day weekend.
love,
Jeanne
I love your yard art buy!! At one of my spring shows, we had a vendor who was selling similar items...CHEAP! She was a hit, for sure!!
Love your plants and coneflowers!! I had the coneflowers at my old house....and really loved them. I don't know why I've not planted them here...oh yes I do...I'm lazy!! :)
I hope your computer guru is feeling better!!! We all miss her wit and wisdom!
Yum.....the margarita and queso sound awesome, but I'd have to pass on fish tacos. :)

Hi, LaVerne. Thanks for mentioning your garden art post. Your piece is lovely as well. I found mine last year at an art fair and had a hard time deciding which to purchase. Some were crafted from very vibrant colored dishes but my heart was drawn to the soft pinks.
Have a happy July 4th holiday.
Debra
