This awful Covid Pandemic has meant that we have been unable to visit family for six months even when they live only an hour's drive away, so we were happy to load ourselves into the car and travel up to
to Mt Tamborine to visit Tony's sister recently on a lovely Spring day..
Tony's sister is very artistic ( she makes those wonderful tea cosies which I showed you here )
and mosiacs like this .
She has been keeping herself busy while in lockdown.
doing lots of work in her tiny garden and it is ablaze with flowers in containers.
Not just the usual pots of flowers I have to tell you......
but quirky chairs painted pretty colours with pots set into the seat part
and filled with colour - coordinating flowers
Like these !
She also decorates the chairs with small flowers, butterflies and hearts which she makes from pottery.
Aren't they pretty ?
But her creative energy doesn't stop there.
She has been creating tiny gardens in large shallow containers
planted with succulents and using pebbles
tiny minature houses, toadstools
people
There is even a tiny tea set .
tiny garden furniture
and sometimes tiny animals to complete the scene
