Happy Earth Day!
Veggie People centerpiece.
The skeptical cauliflower seems to be the brains of the group.
Adorable vintage homemade garden markers.
I picked up these wooden garden markers a few weeks ago, and grouped them into an old enamel basin. They remind me to get to work in the garden!
Also, I think they would make a great quilt to go with my Ruby McKim fruit quilt.
Years ago we bought this little sad corn salt shaker, because who wouldn’t? We have always wondered why he is sad, and if his partner was a happy corn pepper shaker, or maybe a potato or a pepper or something.
Sad corn salt shaker.
Some of these new vegetable friends don’t look particularly happy either, but they cheer me up every time I walk by them!
What a hoot! Of course you will have a garden with friends like these 🙂
They would be the most successful things I ever planted! And they would utterly confound the gophers and rabbits!
I think that cauliflower is up to something…

Yes! You’ll notice the broccoli is missing! Where is the broccoli?!!!
Maybe it got burned at the “stake”.
The veggie people are adorable! Will you use them in the garden or keep them inside and safe? You remind me that I need to finish hemming my veggie towels–they would look right at home with your collection!
I am going to keep the veggie people inside where they can exert their cheerful impact more easily. Yes, your towels would look so cute with them! I can see one hung on the wall behind them as a backdrop. I actually have an 8-harness loom so I could weave my own, but it is in the barn because there is no room in this house. And I can’t tough it out and weave in the barn because my husband has it full of his stuff.
Those vegetables have real personality!
Anthropomorphic vegetables. How strange. They remind me of those old posters that exhorted children to eat their vegetables.
I know! I remember when the little Chicken McNuggets puppets were in the commercials, and they had little smiling faces, and they jumped up and down in their box, and I was thinking, “You want me to eat these, right? Should you be giving them faces?” Same with these. But I really love how they have all kinds of different expressions. So cute! C’mon, admit it!
I love your indoor garden. Mine is more like hard labour!
Yes, I get a lot of the benefit and none of the work! I have eggs and mustang grapes and pears without much effort — I will just have to survive on those! 🙂
