we have ,bird bath on a stone stand,
teddy bear family
meerkats
tortoises
dogs with solar lights in their mouth
rabbits........
and more.......
all a bl**dy nuisance because Er indoors has them on the grass.....it USED to be a bit of a lawn, but I gave up on keeping it as there are two many hills n hollows...

probably the Green Man's cousin........ It's a woman's face, made of fibreglass.

I forgot about the cherub........ a little fat curly-headed creature sitting on a ball....... OH bought it for me, thought I'd like it :-D I'm not a great fan of cherubs, much prefer my gargoyle & the woman in the leaf.

I've been looking everywhere for Bruce the Aussie Garden Gnome......... he's quite awful, he's mooning and picking his nose!

:-D

In my own garden at my house, there is a small fat piglet ornament, two rabbits sitting on their back legs (these turned up in my garden at a previous house in the 1970s - gave me a shock as they were painted white and gleamed in the dark when I got home) They were a surprise gift from a then boyfriend.

I also have a couple of litle gnomes there, probably very tatty now.

We used to put one of those big colourful flowery windmill things between our pair, as little weed, but it blew apart one windy day lol

The face in the leaf sounds lovely, is it The Green Man?

lol Liz, laughing about Bill & Ben.

I have two flowerpotmen (made with small pots), sitting in the herb pots...... I stuck a plastic daisy in with them.... so I have Bill, Ben, Basil & little Weeeed.

I've also got various "things on sticks" in pots........ chickens, butterflies, birds etc.

My favourite isn't in the garden, it's on the wall by the front door... a face in a big leaf.

:-D

Bill and Ben, the Flowerpot men, given to o.h. by one of his son's years back. A sleeping Mexican sheltering under his hat.

My elephant which is about 18" tall and covered in moss, and some smaller elephants in pots. A small frog and hedgehog sit among the grasses in the grass garden.

According to our till receipt, we bought 8 Buddahs for our garden .:-S
They're actually half-moon shaped paving slabs :-D

Dogs,cats,meercats,hedgehogs,tortoise, otter, large fish, 2 cottages,and a pig

Looking around for another large dog, have a German Shepherd, Collie, Westie and a Greyhound. All very well behaved and extremely quiet. :-D :-D
Can't have a real dog so must make do with ornaments.

I bought a garden gnome yesterday to replace the creepy cat.

She's not the traditional type, but a little girl one in a white dress and hat, asleep against a rock.
I put her out on my decking this morning when the sun was shining.
She is now fast asleep in the pouring rain :-( :-( :-(

Three concrete Bird baths,Two Cast Iron ones,couple of statues,Two stone Cherubs a Dovecote and a couple of cats with reflective eyes.Oh and a very large Sphinx. :-D

a lovely otter standing by a water feature - he's called Ollie, a small curled up cat, a terracotta plant pot in the shape of a cat and a stone bird bath with the poem "A kiss of the sun for pardon etc"

I have a couple of bird baths, one held up by a cherub. A Greek or Roman lady, a bit like Venus but with her clothes on. A small squirrel my Mum bought me not long after we got married at Exbury Gardens. A little Guinea Pig my daughter bought me a couple of years ago, who is so life like I have known several people rush out into the garden to catch him. I also have a beautiful blue glass ball bought at Rattenberg in Austria last year on our holiday.

Someone gave me a really creepy cat.
It's made of wood, has red painted eyes and l put him on top of my garden wall.
One of my kids was soo creeped out that she turned him to face the wall

First opportunity I get, that thing is going in the fire-pit!

There is an old sink full of strawberries and a couple of obelisks to support things that climb and my Lidl's arch that has baskets on it that contain strawberries and tumbling tomatoes.

Oh yes, there is an enormous bench vice, no, I don't know why I am keeping it either, and a parcel trolley hanging about out there. I did finally part with the Morris gearbox!

I inherited loads from my late M I L, everything from frogs to fairies Also OH's collection of Meercats, a large Otter, a spouting fish for the pond (not connected at the moment) Also have a large toadstool with a stone Rabbit laying underneath.

I HAVE STUFF ALL OVER A GARAGE WALL'
A FEW LARGE BITS OF DRIFTWOOD LOTS
OF POTS AND ONE STATUE,IT'S A BOY ABOUT
18 IN HIGH FOUND IN A NEIGHBORS GARDEN
AFTER HE DIED ESTIMATED 100 YEARS OLD.

I have several concrete frogs around the pond one of which used to spurt out water into the pond but its spout broke so the water wasn't getting into the pond . I do have a fox sitting on a concrete bridge that goes over the back of the pond and a couple of small cats sitting in the rockery . The fox and the cats are very nicely sculptured and painted and I love em .

We have a small obelisk too in the rockery at the top of the garden that spurts up water over the rocks it looks to be sitting in . It has a water sump under the rocks so the water justs recirculates

Just some owls, I have lots of owls and two are outside.. .. I do have three cacti pot plant containers that are hedgehogs, only one has a cactus in it.. little prickly back that flowers now and then.

Do you have any?

I have a few........ a gargoyle who is so ugly he's gorgeous (his name is Henry) :-D, a wizard holding a crystal ball, an "Easter Island" head.... and a few others.

I will admit to two gnomes......... one climbing a rope, and a "cling-on" who hangs off a potplant.



:-D
