I found this at a thrift store the other day for 2.95. I couldn't believe my good luck. I had just bought one of these last year for over 40.00.
Now I have a pair!
And I found these dried flowers pressed between glass and sealed with lead frames.
They were 1.99 each and they even have their Latin names written on them.
I made another totem. I am keeping this one. I gave some of the other ones away over the weekend.
I place a porcelain bird bell inside the pedestal.
I also added a porcelain flower basket inside the dome on top. I am planting lots of marigolds this year in my raised beds. They are natural aphid repellents.
My lattes are growing very well too!

The bird ornaments in the top photos - did they come with the basket "nests"? We have a similar ornament in the store I do books for - but it has a metal bowl instead of the basket. I really like them!
When I saw those birdnests I came to think of the flower groups I made for Christmas when I had my gardencentre. I used to put small bird nests (not as nice as Yours though but made of grass I think) and small birds beside them in the arrangements. Those were the ones that got sold the fastest :-)
Have a great day now!

You just KNOW that somebody got it for a gift and hated it and sent it to the thrift shop, having no idea it was actually worth something LOL. Love it.
The porcelain birds look very clever under the clear pressed glass.
