My courtyard garden

I just want to share a little courtyard garden with you.
It was at our last house
but
it
was cute
and
sometimes I miss it.
When we moved so did all our rustic bits and pieces....
all up 3 trailer's full
obviously more than what you can see here.
This beautiful rusty wheel came from my grandparent's farm
This rustic cow was bought from a man called Terry who hand cuts all his pieces
This water feature was made by my husband and my dad did some welding to make up the mock tap.
The bucket came from Dad's shed
and
was rusted out in the bottom
so
I
thought it would be great for our water feature
I call it
'There's a hole in the bucket dear Liza'
These lovely little winter violas were self seeding and came up amongst the pebbles every winter
This rusty old Singer sewing machine survived
a
house fire
so
I
thought it deserved to have new life
in
my
Courtyard Garden
