Re-fashioning those items into something useful. I made a few variations just to try out the market and sold this one on the first day they were put out!

We have been enjoying the company of old friends visiting us from America. The weather has been perfect and many happy hours were spent out in the garden watching the birds and butterflies, and enjoying eating outdoors.
