Did I tell you how much I love garage sales? Well the season is here and yesterday I hit a couple of sales, on a specific mission looking for garden art or accessories. I found these 3 items for $1 each. The frog is an Indonesian hand carved piece of art that is also a music maker. The stick in the mouth is used to strum the back of the card to make a real croaking sound. I simply had to buy it because the African drummer at the conference a week ago had these as part of his back up music. What a coincidence that I found this treasure. I love it, and it sound just like a frog. Jake hates the sound. The other 2 treasures are an Indonesian statue for my garden, and a Polynesian flamingo mirror for the garden shed (you can see the woodpile reflection in the mirror). I also got an old black bench... forgot to take the photo.. but it will go in the garden someplace as well. (Chris wants to put it on the bonfire, but it is very nice, and will be very good in one of the garden rooms).
