I've spent very little money, but have a few interesting pieces. Most of my garden decor comes from dollar stores and discount places like Big Lots. The rooster with the faux patina is jump roping, and was a great find from Big Lots. It kind of looks like he's an angry rooster assassin who uses his jumprope of death. He doesn't look very footloose and fancy free. But I love him anyway.
This squirrel is a good standby, clutching a little nut or something up to his chest. Gotten for a steal at a dollar store down in LA:
I also got this swinging rabbit. The thing I love about garden statuary is how the figures tend to be anthropomorphicized animals doing completely uncharacteristic behavior (even for them). I could see maybe a frog swinging, but a rabbit?
Here is a hula-hooping frog. Khymn gave this to me as a present many years ago. I love it so. It seems to be either really enjoying itself, or bemoaning some cruel fate. Note the gay, delightful candy-stripe of the hoop:
Requisite creepy gnome, smirking with flowers + cute turtle in background:
Smurfy mushrooms:
Frog Prince:
Tuw-tuw:
Miniature Horse:
Ok, that last one is my neighbor's horse. But he was out near my front yard munching some grass, so I couldn't help but take a pic of him. So cute.
