Birthday Surprises


Birthdays are such fun in the "surprise" department... and yesterday was no exception!  Blog buddy Cynthia of Sea of Glass sent me some sun catcher plant stakes...   I can't remember exactly what you call them... but they're gorgeous!


You tuck one or several of these sun catchers in a potted plant or in a flower arrangement to dress them up.  Cynthia even sent me one with a tiny frog hugging a blue glass bead.


I love how they glow in the sunlight...


Of course, I love the blues, greens, and purples.... however, Cynthia also sent me an assortment of cool flower sun catcher plant stakes.


Thank you for making these for me, Cynthia!  What an exciting birthday surprise!

PS:  Cynthia has a shop on Etsy
