Posted on December 18, 2012 by destructivetesting

My friend Paula, http://www.etsy.com/shop/IndustrialBloom, sent me a present, and I want to share it with you.  Some cool garden art.  Our garden here in Milwaukee is a bit barren this time of year, but her ‘flowers’ do add a nice touch!                                                                                         thanks Paula
