Very nice fountain, Jillie! It looks like the frog is either singing or laughing - can't tell which. I looked at your other fountain too - like that one also. And it, too, has a frog. I really like the Tilandsia on the fountain too. Can't tell... is there some on the blue fountain too?
When I visited my parents in Florida 2 years ago I brought back some tilandsia that was growing on the trees outside their apartment. They managed to live up until this fall - I don't think I brought them inside soon enough. I hope to get some more next trip.

It's a ceramic fish sitting upon it's tail, spitting a round spray of water out of it's mouth. I bought it for Jillie at a local nursery, and the man said it was a lantern, but for the life of me couldn't see how to put a candle in it. Jillie thought of standing it on it's tail for the fountain. She drilled out it's mouth so the spray attacment to the pump would fit properly.

Plants 'N Pots, yes, there's a single Tilandsia on the blue fish fountain & two on the jug fountain..They were all blooming when we bought them...I don't think I kept them moist enuf to maintain the flowers. Gotta remind myself every day to go out and spritz them....I love the different varieties...the flowers are breathtaking colors.

I posted under here that I collect Jeff Gordon stuff.....which I do....I'm not a tomboy, but oh how I've fell in love with nascar....I have an autographed card, a card with a piece of his sheet metal, and a plaque that I got for christmas with an actual piece of his tire....My hutch is full of racing stuff.....I'm not into the fancy plates, so gordon stuff it is....can't wait for the season to start back up....
Anyway, I also failed to mention that I collect angels and snowmen.......I love things that are cute and you can't beat the two of them!!!! Anyone else collect angels???

Laura, My sis is a huge nascar fan. When Dale Ernhardt crashed, she was still crying a week later. Christmas before last, we got her the photo & piece of a tire mounted in a frame...She cried again... During races, she yells at the telly (much like she does during Laker's games). The woman's 65 years old! Now, THAT's hard core

Jillie, who does she like now??? His son dale earnhardt jr???? I watched the race that day that earnhardt sr passed away. I never liked him, but I never want to see anyone get hurt. It was a very sad time for nascar and all the fans. I'll be just like your sister when I reach that age....lol I yell at the tv now as it is.

Good Morning, Laura I think she likes Dale Junior, but not as much as his dad. Is there a driver named LaBonte, or something like that? She's mentioned him....When it's Laker's season, I know I'll be able to hear her 100 miles away in Oceanside.......

Do you go through end-of-season-depression? My poor sis gets into this really black mood when NFL season is over (that's her biggest love of ALL). Baseball gives her a big yawn; she says it's tooooo sissy and BORING. I think she divorced one of her husbands because he was a baseball fan....LOL

I'm not into baseball really at all......I collect baseball cards too just because it's a sport....lol It really bores me too, makes me yawn a little also....and yes, I do get a little down when the racing season ends but we don't have too long to wait because the first race is in february so I can handle it....I like football a lot too. I got into nascar because my husband always watched it, and now I could tell you more about it than he could... The only thing I really want now for my gordon collection is a piece of his firesuit and then I'll be happy....I have the autograph, sheet metal, and tire...
Seeded: 63.49.143.99
I also like dishes...cups and saucers, teapots...and a tiny, tiny kitchen and a teensy tiny, little dining room......no room now...but that's not going to stop me!
Oh, and I rarely ever use them...just like knowing I have them...somewhere!!
I was thinking of starting another collection. The wallpaper that I want to put in my dining room is a Donna Dewberry paper, sky blue with bunnies...really cute and cottagey! So, I thought I should start searching for bunnies. We have several hopping around in our yard.

Ah Barb, I collected rabbits for years. They're so cute!
My husband and I collect old metal lunchboxes. The ones from before the 1970's are our favorites. They are a riot! We have about seventy of them, I think. Do you remember the ones based on TV shows? We have "The Partridge Family", "Get Smart", "The Beverly Hillbillies", "The A Team", "The Muppet Show", "Mork and Mindy", "Star Trek", "Adam 12", "The Wild Wild West", among others.

Oh, I bet they are so cute.....there is just something about bunnies that makes me smile....I just bought a ceramic one that is really tall and she's holding a basket and there is a birdhouse behind her.....I love them to look countryish.

Does anyone collect baskets? I'm a Longaberger collector and it is my passion. I really believe that I am addicted. I have so many themes in my home. I don't collect birdhouses but I have received so many as gifts that you would think I was a collector...I'm doing a bedroom in birdhouses. Also have alot of sunflowers and mostly gingerbread people. Have a few Boyd's but not a collector. My mother in law is a Boyd's collector. She probably has over 100.

Besides miniatures, Faeries and gravy boats, I have small collections of David Winter cottages and National Geographic Wildlife Babies by Lenox. When I was married, My hub and I collected almost everything the Franklin Mint issued years ago...which turned out to be JUST ABOUT WORTHLESS!!!!! Maybe if you keep it 100 years or so.....

Wow another nascar fan that's a female---and named laura to boot.....lol We stop with the simliarities there though. I'm not a Kenseth fan though, you might have read above I'm a Gordon fan. I get so sad when racing season is over. And so excited when it restarts. I never miss a race. Would've been a better race if Harvick wouldn't have ran out of gas.....I don't like him much, but the end would have been more exciting. I have tons of Gordon stuff. It's fun to collect!!!!! Glad to see another female nascar fan. Hard to get used to it being called the Nextel cup isn't it???

When I sat here trying to figure out what it is that I collect I realized I get into something for about a year and then I change to something else,whatever strikes my fancy at the time.First it was Coca Cola,then angels, birdhouses,miniatures,primatives,and now its junk, especially for my garden.I laughed while reading about Nascar, my husbands true passion.He has been to Daytona 4 times now and was there when Dale Sr died,very sad, was his favorite driver. This year he came back with pictures of him with Dale Jrs pit crew and a lug nut off of Dale Jrs winning car.Its so funny, he'll have his friends over and they just ohhh and ahhh over this lug nut.Our garage is his museum of Nascar memoribilia.I would probably have to say that collection is the only real thing of value in our whole house Only maybe second to his wonderful gardening wife and witty children.
