I went for a ride in the country today! We stopped at a little country store & spotted these
garden whimsey plates! Guess the price?

$19.99... like everything 'as seen on tv'?

$45.99?

$10.00 each

Around here, I've seen them priced anywhere from $14.99 to $49.99...depending on the type of items used...like crystal & REAL china or just odd pieces.

So how much were they Muddy???????????

$40???

OK~~~Bana is the closest! $25 each which I thought was alot?!

$ 30.00 as a starting price

Those are too cute, but Muddy, you could make your own by shopping thrift shops and Goodwill. We had a program on them at garden club. The glue is your biggest investment, yet it was less than 5.00 a tube. I chose to make a totem instead. Total cost - about 7.00.

There is someone else on this board who makes glass totems. This was my trial run and I had to bring it up on the porch when we were expecting a hail storm a few weeks ago and it's stayed there every since.

Lucky & Sorie do them! Lucky has BUNCHES of them & I know Sorie has sold some at yard sales. I've made a few but haven't sold any. I have about 8 "staged" in the guest bedroom that I need to glue together.
One I made that will always stay here has several pieces of crystal in it...so it was much more expensive to make...others have cost about what VE has in hers.

Goodwill down here are too expensive, I can buy new in stores like Walmart or Dollar stores cheaper on most things. But thrift stores & yard sales are great places to pick up pieces.

I've made a couple of totems. Practically free. I like the dollar stores, too. Now & then I pick up glass at Goodwill or thrift stores, too, but I agree the dollar stores are even cheaper.

I still like the totems better than the plate & cup flowers, but that's just my taste.

Those are cute and would be fun to make. I think it would be hard to "edit" which ones to put in the garden.

Have fun if yo make them and show us pics please.
