Garden GeeGaws Are Hard to Resist: The NWFGF Marketplace

I published this post prematurely, so if you missed the Display Garden posts, be sure to scroll down and find them.)

Geegaw, or gewgaw: a showy thing, especially one that is useless or worthless. 

Certainly yard art is "useless", but I wouldn't call of "worthless", especially given the price of some of it. But I do love garden art and adornments, and they were in abundance at the garden show MarketPlace. 

I am not going to provide much dialogue here, just mostly pics of pretty things and especially things I really liked. We came home with almost none, resisting spending where not needed right now. Shopping with your eyes is like eating with your eyes, non-fattening and easier on the pocket book. 

 Steel boxes and screens - lovely!

 I really WANTED this rusty metal and pottery leaf woman, but at $125 I didn't NEED it. 

 I picked this hanging vase out to come back and buy. When I did come back it was gone. I did buy a small green one instead. 

 The painting here just glowed!

 Tom talked greenhouses with several dealers. 

 Tom found a little metal wall rack in one of Bob Bowling's Rustic Sheds that he liked, and bought it. We love these sheds, but looking at them will have to do. 

 Fun!

 We make our own, not as fancy, but fine enough. 

 Fused glass. Great designs. 

 Well, well. I caught Peter loading up with goodies (geegaws?) as he and Alison were making the rounds. These are my garden blogging buddies, bloggers that I actually know in person. They have even been to my garden, and I have been to theirs. They are wonderful! So are their gardens. 

 This booth, Rusty Birds, is the hardest to resist for me. but we already have many of their pieces, and we managed to come away empty handed this year. 

 This fused glass artist is another of my favorites. I love her "bugs' and have four already. 

 Something new - created out of aluminum screening material. 

 These pottery prayer wheels are true artistry. 

 These wall sculptures are made out of felted wool! New to me. 

 Also new - these pottery fountains. 

 Enameled birds.

 Wonderful wire work .

 He does pottery, she does basketry. Combined, their creations are wonderful!

More to come: Vintage Market, and even some plants !
