New small pond

Picking this up on Sunday morning. The cutest little thing. Will find a good place for it, and put in some fish and a water lily.

20 May 2019: The pond is here. Not yet dug in or sorted.

Little grass for front path edges

Pinched this little grass from Churchie gardens, where it is growing in garden beds. I thought it might look nice growing along the edge of my front path, if I can get it to grow. Will have to keep it trimmed,a s it seems to be rather random in where it's runners go to.

Sweet pea seeds

bought at The Plant Shack yesterday. Planting them on the weekend!

Paper Boat Press

Lovely building, lovely goods, if of dubious use!

I would like 3 little birdy-chairs, like this:

The Plant Shack, Deception Bay

At Clover's birthday party last weekend, Peta had a couple of lovely 'lady head' pots for plants. I would like one. She said she had purchased it at The Plant Shack, in Deception Bay.

I drove up there after I had collected the bird cage, and loved what I saw there. Plants were reasonably priced, and a good variety that I have found hard to get at Bunnings.

I bought a chain of hearts hanger; a mini-syngonium;  a large-leafed  and a lovely china plant pot. Total: $61 (too much, but I couldn't resist).

Good idea with the variegated ficus I have still, in the new pot I bought from there, with the pink and green 'passionfruit flower design' on it, rather than a pot with a head or face on it. 

Going to do this (like the below) with my new mini-syngonium and the ficus, in the new pot.

Bug hotels - want one of these for the front garden, and the veggie area.

 Tahitian bridal veil - want for the pergola

Cute little hanging creeper

New light fixture

Buying tomorrow...

Update: 15 May - I drove up there to Kippa Ring in the morning, got there about 9.20am. The weird little guy Rob met me and opened his packed storage shed. He got the cage out, and I realised how big it was. Nice, though. I realised too that it's time to stop buying little things and concentrate on bigger housey items now, like painting, awnings, roof etc.

I got out of there fast, as I did not want to be stuck in a storage area with some weird little guy. I did not know him, his strength or intentions.

From THIS lighting site, there are many examples of light shades which look like bird cages, like mine, mounted as room lighting.

All of these are quite expensive - I got out of it cheaply at 45, but of course, yet to come is the light fixture, and the wiring up and conversion. Hopefully that is still nowhere near the price of these.
