No green thumb necessary

Lately, I have been spotting metal objets d'art that don't totally scream local folk art festival. They have a sense of refinement and whimsy. A rare, delicate balance.

Perfect for the drought in Georgia . . . or for those of us that haven't been able to perfect our green thumb.

Metal potted plants at Wisteria for $29.00



The site says that these were once used in 19th-century France for winter gardens and conservatories . . . interesting . . . might do a little more Googling.

Tole topiary at Ballards for $119.00

These are perfect flanking a front door or even along a privacy fence.

I might actually dot a few along the fence . . .
