So beautiful are Cottage Garden’s adorned in statuary’s and wrought iron.
A little cherub hangs from the main archway to the house.
Love cherubs in the garden – there is a sense of peace finding them in garden nooks.
I have loved watching these bird baths grow various annuals around them and have seen them enjoyed by many species of birdies.
I acquired this windmill from a family member after their passing – so lovely to se that life of this beauty has carried on her spirit. Just a few of my Cement urns awaiting a floral display of flowers… Most of my whimsy décor is stored for winter – but looks like these goodies were forgotten & spent a few cold nights outdoors… Many birdhouses are set throughout the garden – love the business they inhabit in the spring. (some are a little tipsy today, from the winds we have been experiencing here).
Sprinkle a little bird seed in these feeders - for the wondering birdies…
Although this is emptied and off for the winter, in the summertime, all sorts of birds come for a splash and a visit for water. Next to it, I have nyjer provided for a snack.
Sitting on the bench to enjoy the “life of my garden” is one of my favorite places to be…
Happy Cottage Flora Thursday’s…& be sure to enter my “Cottage Giveaway”.
Although it's cold, your garden looks very welcoming. I'd love to see it in the spring and summer. Your cherubs and birdhouses are precious...the birdies must love you!!
Hi Tracie... love all your pretty garden decorations... your windmill looks wonderful and how nice it carries precious memories of a loved one... I really love all of your birdhouses and feeders and baths... and the moss growing in the little standing feeder looks so pretty!... I know how you feel about just sitting out on your bench in your garden all day, I love to do the same thing!... Can hardly wait to see all of your beautiful flowers come to life once more and all the little birdies who visit there!... thanks for hosting this delightful party... makes me think Spring really is coming soon!... xoxo Julie Marie
You have an amazing Garden! I have a thing for garden statues and such as well!I love the patina that old iron and concrete have after many years! I also love the bring these elements indoors! I love gardening so much that I kind of surround myself with it year round
Tracie, what a pretty garden. I love love love the windmill, and so nice it's a family heirloom. Beautiful, sending hugs your way on this lovely Thursday, had no idea you had a link party, I'll try to join sometime. xoxo tami
I like little cherubs and garden ornaments too. I also have a windmill in my vegetable garden. All of these things are what makes gardening so much fun! I call it 'exterior' decorating.(-: Thank you for hosting.
I LOVE all your goodies in your yard! I can NEVER have enough yard art! Birdhouses & Baths, AHHH, they are so beautiful! LOVE your windmill, and how lucky you are to have it and it's memories of loved ones!!! Thank you So much for hosting... Hugs to you, Donna
Love you windmill and all your garden decor! The birdhouses are just perfect! I love seeing little surprises throughout gardens like yours! :) I linked up a garden that I would love, maybe one day! :)
What a lovely garden! Thank you for inviting me to join the party. I am currently recovering from shoulder surgery, so it is difficult to get outside and take pictures, but I am signing up as a follower and when I can I would love to join the party! Penny
I love your garden and all the birdhouses etc. I have always loved the look of a more whimsical garden. We have so much snow here that the garden is buried. I cant wait to get outside again and start planting! Cheers, Trish xo
Your garden is like poetry...so pretty but quiet and thoughtful. Beautiful photos! I wanted you to know that though I don't normally do a post just for someone's party, I did tonight's post for your party. :o) I'm glad I did..though I had to take a very cold and damp walk..I'm glad I did though. It was like going on a treasure hunt. :o)
Thanks for hosting this party. :o) xo Donna @ Comin' Home
