I was looking for a source for my mosaic bowlingball and came across this site. Loved alot of the ideas, especially the magazine rack made into a bench and the marbled bowlingballs.Check it out! click here for the website.

Was the bowling ball cracked on purpose? Or just used in spite of being cracked?
I have a facination with colored glass and different lighting effects.
For my daughter`s wedding I have taken 5 bottles of different shades of green, put christmas lights in them, turned them upside down in a clay pot, put clear marbles around thebottles to help stabilize them and put lights under the marbles too.
I took a jar with a glass lid, put christmas lights in the jar with bits of old colored cellophane. I think broken glass or the sea grass would be even neater to use.

Rue I thought the same thing myself about the broken bowlingball, not too pretty.And I have never heard of bottle trees untill now, must be a regional thing, never seen one around here.

Hey I stare at my plants!! All my plants though, I don`t play favorites. AND I talk to them too, telling them how sweet they are or if they are looking down ask them what is wrong.

Thanks a bunch Weezie, will be at the store tomorrow. LOl sounds like you do the same things that I do, like stealing ideas and inspiration and then putting the magazine back,only investing if you really need the whole book, and God knows I already subscribe to enough garden magazines as it is, but don't we just love making good use of that time spent waiting in line

I am usually a magazine subscriber, (way better price for the sub than the off the shelf price ) but, I used to have, ohmygosh, can't remember, I listed all of my mag's that I got here somewhere's for good gardening catalogs somewhere's, they WERE all mine, but, when you don't work and it's pizza, plants or magazines, I opted to "surf the net" and get the plants and pizza!!!
But, I haven't had a new book in soooooooooo long, I thought I'd treat my self!!!!
Weezie
If you don't find it let me know!!!
