The way I like dirty dishes

Everyone has chores to do.
Some can be relaxing, like gardening or vacuuming (yes, I said vacuuming).
Some can be revolting . . . well let's just say between the pets and people living in our home, there are options on the revolting part.

My favorite dirty dishes are the kind that are
ummm . . . in the dirt.


I cannot take credit for this idea.  I know I have seen this done somewhere before along with a million other ideas I have filed away for one of those "a-ha moments" when I remember it again.

The winter flower beds at Ms. Wendy's were looking a little barren.
I decided they needed a facelit for spring.
Quirky and different was what I wanted.  And, I love the idea of recycled garden adornments.


Another thought hit me while I was writing this post.
What about spoons and forks?
Wouldn't that be the cutest?!

Thanks for stopping by Sugahs!

SO sweet Heidi! I'm lusting after that plate in the 2nd pic, on the right, with the soft blue rim!
