I hinted a few days ago about an addition to the garden pond.
Sailboats!
Some scrap wood, old spindles for the mast, and vintage grain sack sails.
I think they look quite nice bobbing in the water.
Come Sail Away
life in and around the garden
down to earth digs 
I love them!!! Good job. I enjoy your blog.
Thank you Karen, working hard to get this ready for your Garden Club! I’m nervous! 🙂
Oops Karen, I thought you were the other Karen!!!
I’ve got it straight now!!! Love all my garden friends, and I’m so glad you pop over here and take the time to comment. It really is the best! 🙂
Love the charm of these! Maybe you should also have a little yellow rubber duckie bounching around also? Karen Noltee
Rubber duckies! didn’t think of that. My son (mind you he’s 17) was kinda into these, but now says he can make me a great milk carton boat!
Then we even thought of a fleet of paper boats…hmmm lot’s of fun in the pond this Summer!
The Water Lilies are slowly growing…they will be pretty when they are filled in. 🙂
These are absolutely a fabulous addition! What a great idea. 🙂
They are kinda fun, like my own little lake place!
This reminds me of the sailboat I tried to make as a child. Scrap wood painted yellow from paint found in my dad’s shed. A nail and a scrap of old white sheet. And then, a mud puddle.
Yes, we used to make little boats as kids and float in little tubs of water…how simple my childhood seems to have been. Don’t even get me started about all my days in forts and making mud pies! 🙂
How wonderful!! I love these so much!
So glad they made you smile!
Perfect addition! Love the whimsy.
Funny how much they added to the garden!
Very lovely and serene place you have. I love your little pond. It is so natural looking with the rock and pebble …. AND those sailboats! Your greenhouse is the perfect size and loaded with old fashioned charm. I am crazy about your garden house seen a few posts beneath. In short, I would feel right at home in your garden space, it is delightful!
Jeri,
An absolute pleasure to have you stop by the garden! http://www.hopalonghollowgazette.blogspot.com, is a favorite spot for garden inspiration. Thank you for you sweet comment, you made my day.

Oh now, those are perfectly you Stacey 😀 They’re charming, homespun and a delight in every way.
I’m so glad they brought you happiness today!
Love, love, LOVE it! 🙂
Ahhh, thank you! 🙂
You are so creative – they look great!
your pond popped into my head a couple of days ago and I remembered that you were “teasing” us. And me being me I wondered if there would be ducks on the pond….. far better to have sail boats 🙂
