The Secret Garden

 A few weeks ago
we stopped at
The Secret Garden 
in Waynesville Ohio


We weren't sure 
exactly what it was


and pleasantly surprised


There is a cottage home
and across was the start of the garden




From their website:

For a truly unique shopping experience 
come walk the brick pathways
through our wooded garden
 while soft music fills the air.  
The Secret Garden offers


You will find concrete statuary; 
wrought iron pieces;


 gazing globes; fountains; garden orbs 
and so much more. 












There is a barn
that has some
 vintage pieces

The art pieces on 
the barn can be left outside







 View looking at the cottage
from the barn





These doors and windows
are for sale




I fell in love with 
these windows 
and I'm almost certain
there will be at least on
in my back yd next year


I think we will adapt
it though
and have decorative posts
with lattice on the bottom


This was made out 
of yard utensils


 these pumpkins were all over














The Bird House Retail Shop 
specializes in birding items 
for the birding enthusiasts. 



These were in the cottage 
I thought they were
very pretty
but were to much
 for my pocketbook






They have a lot of unique
items








They have a wedding chapel
on the premises:


"Secluded, romantic, and uinquely set
 in a natural environment nestled
 deep in the woods, 
our Chapel In The Woods 
creates a picture perfect setting
 for a small intimate 
wedding ceremony"













 There also is a 
fire pit type area




 What a beautiful place 
to have a ceremony

It was a very peaceful place 
to walk around
and I know we will be back

If the Shoes fit......

I have been wanting to make this
for awhile
but unable to find doll shoes
Who would've thought 
they were that hard to find???


I had found some plastic
chain  on clearance

I used my dremel 
to drill through
the shoes
that needed it


Attached them with rings





connected it together


and it is complete


Finally found a few shoes
 at GW outlet
I would love to be able
 to find more
they don't even
 have to be pairs
who knew
 they would be
 so difficult to find???
