    The candle sticks used for these two are about 15 inches tall, wood stained brown with green accents. The first one is now sporting a small light fixture globe painted inside with gold metalic paint.

    This one isn't outside yet, the silicone has to cure for about 24 hours first. I found the small glass vase already painted that was perfect for it but wanted some cute thingy to stand on it. I was wandering up and down aisles at the thrift store when this cat just almost jumped in my hands....purrrfect!

    I found this light fixture globe in our own backroom, used to be on a ceiling fan. It sat in my closet for months until one night last week just before dropping off to sleep a picture of it painted like a mushroom popped into my head.
    It will be put out in the back garden this week.

    Toni all three are really attractive but my favourite is that handsome mushroom. :-D They're all going to look so good in your garden.

    I would have to keep the glass stuff indoors. We get some nasty hail here at times. But they are very cute.

    We get bad hail storms too, our car was totaled by hail Spring of last year :rolleyes: I move them into the back room or onto the front porch when hail is mentioned in the forecast.

    Oh and that cat on the top, I bought it for $1 at a thrift store but I recently saw it in a mail order catalog...it's a $15 ring holder.
