Needles-n-Pins Stitcheries: Upcyled Garden Goodies

I would think some of your gardens are coming along pretty good now. Up here in the north country we have a few more weeks to go before we plant the flowers and outdoor vegie gardens. I thought today we would look at some upcycled items that you can put in your gardens to add a little whimsical flair to them. Let's visit some Etsy shops to see what they have. :)

Every garden, be it flowers or vegie gardens, needs a bird feeder close by and this neat upcylcled Mason Jar bird feeder from RecyclingTime fits the bill for that. 

How about this different wind chime. It is made from a recycled water pitcher and spoons for the chimes. How cool would this be hanging on post in your garden! :)

Now every garden area needs a birdhouse to go along with the bird feeder you have. This recycled birdhouse from OutOnALimbADK even has a recycled slate roof. How neat!

And a garden wouldn't be a garden without a sign. How about this upcycled sign! How different is this one. It is made from recycled license plates. What a cool idea. And 1BentKeepsake has this and several other signs made from license plates.

Looks like there are a lot of ideas for goodies for your gardens. Just make a trip to your local thrift store and see what ideas you can come up with or just visit all the great Etsy shops. 

Happy Gardening!

Needles-n-Pins Stitcheries: Garden Art

Now that we have the tools for our gardens and know how to plan them, we now need some art for our gardens. Garden art always adds something special to our gardens and I always enjoy looking in all the nooks and grannies of a garden to see all the neat fixtures. 

Here are some "finds" that I found from the wonderful stops on Etsy.


Every flower garden needs some daisies and EarthStudioMetalArt has this great rust metal daisy. Would look great in a southwest garden. 

Patty at PatsGardenArt has these cute metal garden flowers and I love all the colors. These flowers would fit into the garden area pretty good. 

Now....every garden should have bumble bees in them. Bumble bees are a gardens friend and helps all the plants grow and pollinate. MyGardenGoddess has these cute stepping stones for your garden. Just add them in your garden and follow the path....

So you can remember what you planted where in your vegetable garden why not use these garden markers from FromArtisansHands. I sure could use these because before the veggies come up I can't remember what the rows have in them and I love the colors of these markers. :)

And last but not least.....every gardens "good luck" charm....the ladybug. When I was a child my grandmother use to tell me that ladybugs were good luck to have in your garden so why not put this ladybug from LANDDelements in your garden to bring good luck to it. :)

Now you can get busy planning your gardens, planting your gardens and add "goodies" to your gardens. 

Good luck with your gardens and have fun!:)
