Lockdown Cottage & a bunch of flamingos


I haven’t got anything to show on my desk this week so I thought I’d update you on the Garden Gate displays.

Lockdown Cottage canary cage has now been fixed to the garage wall and passersby are loving it.



I’ve added a couple more bits of garden tat including the little flamingos, some flamingo bunting and a twirling wind thingymebob.


And I mustn’t forget the ladybird and bee.


I promise to try harder for some proper desk work next week.  Thanks for popping by anyway.  Stay safe everyone.

  5. Morning Lynn. Brilliant - just brilliant. Folk must just eat their breakfast so quickly near you - so as to get out and see what you have been up to each morning!!! Such a delightful way of encouraging people during this time. I reckon you (and I) will be sorry when it com es to an end!!!
    Take care. Stay safe. God bless.

  6. This is just gorgeous ... children in your area must be jumping to get out of bed to see what you have created. Stay safe while you have fun creating.

  9. I just love that birdcage - we use one as a lampshade on the stairs, they're so versitile. Your displays are memorable and thought provoking and isn't that what art should be all about? xxx

  15. What lovely things you have in your garden to cheer up your passers by. They are sure to raise a smile. We had one of those ladybugs when mine was small. Didn't know you could still get them. May have to invest in a new one as ours fell apart years ago and I did love it.
    Have a good week

  19. That birdcage display is gorgeous, Lynn, and I am now regretting selling a wooden birdcage at last year's flea market. The things I could have done with that! I think you'll have to keep up with your Garden Gate display even after the pandemic. Your house will be mentioned in the local guides, and people will flock from all over the country to see it! xxx

  20. Best wallpapered birdcage ever, it looks fab, I love the books; fondly remember my parents having that whole collection. I think my uncle worked for the publisher, anyway, that right there is why your Lockdown Cottage works are so brilliant, on the eye, the mind and my memory! Who cares if you haven’t timemor inclination to be at your desk!

  21. Your garden gate displays are such a brilliant idea, Lynn, and I am sure the neighbours and other passers-by are really enjoying them, and wondering what you are going to come up with next! Such fun.

    Happy belated WOYWW,

  22. Hi, I love the cage, it reminds of the shrines we have dotted around japan, I know we are meant to pray as it is a Buddhist country, but there are so many different types of shrines they make me smile whenever I see one. Of course I bow my head say a short prayer and leave.
    But things like this always make me feel greatful for being alive.
