The sunflower is not a flower! 🌻 Its petals are actually leaves...
It happens that the leaves disguise themselves as yellow to attract pollinators. Now, look inside the flower more closely. Look into what you once thought was the flower and are actually leaves, and you will see the flowers. Many... Many... Beautiful and delicate in an alignment beyond harmonic (the geometry of nature). What you thought was a flower, is actually an outline that holds hundreds and hundreds of flowers...
And if we look at it with the eyes of gardeners, we will realize that each little flower holds within itself, in this golden dust, countless fields of sunflowers.
In biology, this is called an infloration. 🌻

Here are photos taken yesterday at the Oakland Community Garden Annual Fall Festival...

Do you love dolling up your mantle or living room area with nice lighting decor? My mom did. So she would hide all the power cords with huge billowing vases filled with year round faux floral pieces.
This devinely inspired piece is an art decco stand with a hidden power and charging station inside, while hiding all your power cords and charging your devices at the same time.
And you can change it up, according to the occasion. The everyday look, Christmas, Football season and what ever else you can drum up.

So, I am so excited! Tomorrow is the Arts & Crafts Festival at the Oakland Community Garden's grounds. If you are local, come on down and have some fun! Stop by and say hi!

We’ll have some great Silent Auction baskets at the Fall Festival. You can get an awesome deal while contributing to a wonderful cause! All proceeds are used to fund the Garden that feeds families in need.

Come on out to 1982 Old Norcross Road in Lawrenceville on Saturday, September 30th and get your hands on one of these fabulous baskets! 🌱

Crazy fun!!!

The cutest autumn centerpiece! Napkins & silverware would be cute in here too.

This will look amazing with a beautiful Christmas Cactus in it. Imagine all those beautiful flowers that look like Angels hanging over the top of this...

A few more new birdhouses...

From a Flower Box to a Tissue Box Holder!!!

And yet another one of our birdhouses up in Ashville, NC. He must be house hunting and picked this one, because he left a deposit on it.

We love it when our birdhouses are shared back to us in real life use...

How about this wild Turtle theme design?
It's really cool in person. And then check it out in the sun!!! Fun to look at and touch.

This project is in the works and Holy Moley people!
We got an order for my sister's "signature design bark roof" and this task is not for the week and weary crafter!!! She is busy working her t**h off, so I got to have a go at this.
Debi, I appreciate your mad skills girl!

From this....

These houses are no longer available.

We are now creating Birdhouse Flower Pots.
The artificial arrangement can be a temporary placeholder, and can be replaced with real flowers until they lose their luster, and then the artificial flowers can be returned to the Birdhouse Flower Pot until the next time.
