Do you like topiaries? I love using them around the house. Debbie (at
Confessions of a Plate Addict) and I have found so many at GW and thrifting. I can't understand why people get rid of them.....they are classic and versatile. What do you think?
I have a pair of most of the following topiaries:
(GW find)



(GW find)

(only one of this tall GW triple moss ball)

(Only one of this church rummage sale topiary)


My daughter stripped one of her topiaries bare and tied a ribbon on it. I have stripped this one, but haven't added the ribbon yet. (GW find)

But this little gem is a REAL topiary......isn't it a beauty?!

This was given to me by my friend Debbie at the recent passing of my MIL (see previous post). Since Debbie (Plate Addict) and I have hunted down and bought so many thrifty artificial topiaries, she thought it would be nice to have a REAL one. I think it is just gorgeous!

Check out the pretty pot the topiary is in....à la Debbie. Yep, she attached burlap and toile. Don't ask me how, just go visit her blog. Maybe she'll do a tutorial! It really is lovely!

Thank you Debbie. I love it! Blessings. Linda

I love how good friends know just the right thing to do because they know you so well. Love the real topiary from Debbie. I have seeing some of hers. You two find great things at GW. I love them too and have been thinking about putting some on my mantel. I wish I could find a deal, but I am not hopeful around here! Thanks for showing us yours!
No, you can't have too many topiaries. I love all of yours and especially the real one Debbie gave you. Love it in the burlap.
you have so many pretties!~~~ The real one is so lovely!!!
Beautiful topiaries, Linda and no you cannot have too many.:-)
Oh, it's just beautiful Linda!
All of them are nice, but that real one is just stunning! Isn't Debbie just the cleverest one, with that cute burlap!
Hugs, Cindy
They are all gorgeous, Linda and I agree that you can't have too many. The one Debbie gave you is darling, love the details. I didn't know about your MIL. I'm so sorry.

You cannot have too many topiaries.
They are classic.

I love the living topiary with the burlap base and I know you treasure Debbie's thoughtful gesture as much as the topiary.
Oh, Linda! You are such a sweetie to post it! It just had your name on it! I am sending a big hug to you and your family...Debbie
I love the live topiary, the burlap is just so cute. I would love to try live ones but don't think I could keep them alive. Your GW finds are great!

You're talking to another topiary addict here! I love them too, and no, you can never have enough!

Nina... So that's why I can never find any topiaries at GW!! They've all found a happy home with you. Ü Love your topiaries...especially the real one.....
As the old saying goes: Too much of a good thing is wonderful! Thanks for sharing photos of yours.
Linda, oh yes, you do have some lovely topiaries! I love them too, not so sure they like me to much! Thanks for sharing such great photographs! I am happy I found my way to your blog!

Topiaries are marvelous for filling that awkward spot that's too small for anything else...I love them. I have one in my guest bedroom I made with dried flowers, it's really quite pretty and adds a touch of spring to the room. Yours a lovely Linda.
Warmest Hugs,

How sweet of Debbie she's the best girl...Love seeing all your great bargains...May you have a GREAT weekend my Dear friend...Hugs and smiles Gl♥ria
No such thing as too many, yours are all great but my favourite is the real one from Debbie. So stylish with the added frou frou around the base.

I love topiaries, Linda! I hope you can't have too many! : ) I haven't counted, but I'm sure I have several in various rooms in my house. I love the real one Debbie gave you ~ her wrapping with the burlap and toile is just beautiful!
Thanks for your comment on my front door post. I'll be painting just the door first to see how it looks before I move forward. Maybe the white sidelights will just look like a nice frame around the black.
