For the Gardener - Cute Garden Stakes Herb Garden Markers Hostess Gift

There is nothing more lovely than seeing lush greenery in a beautiful garden.  I designed these garden stakes with that in mind.  I wanted to contrast the green against the bright yellow... you know me, it's all about color coordinating and contrasts!!

These garden stakes are made of fused glass.  I hand wrote the herb and vegetable names with an engraving tool and then I added a special, black colored paint.  You'll also notice that I drilled each one and added a really practical twine loop so that you can hang them neatly in your garden shed (makes it easier to pull them out of the ground too.)

Each one is a handmade, unique piece since they're all made individually.  They make the cutest hostess gifts for the gardener.  What I really like about these is that they're more than just markers, they're decorative and add a touch of charm and beauty to any vegetable or herb garden.  They also look great in a pot as well.  I offer these in a bundle or individuallyClick here for more info on the garden stakes or click here to see all of my unique, handmade gifts:  wire wrapped jewelry, simple necklaces, quality gold earrings, recycled bottle glass art pieces, individually made buttons, coaster sets and so much more...

Celtic Knot Sun Catcher Recycled Wine Bottle

You'll find a very unique and completely different sun catcher in my Etsy Shop - I decided to try something different by combining my different techniques and I came up with this original idea.  I had to slice the bottle and place the glass in such a way that made them overlap each one and then I proceeded to heating them at a very high temperature until they fused into one unique piece.  I drilled and added hammered copper curls and enhanced with colored glass beads.  The overall piece turned out really nice, I think.  It would look awesome in the garden, on the patio or in your window.  It's rugged and tough enough to be outside.  Click here to see more info.  (((((((( Treasure Hunt Sale until the end of December - Save up to 40% - Read about it in my Etsy Shop Annoucements )))))))) **** I will combine promos with coupons for extra savings - Limited Time****
