I've wanted a water feature for my garden for ages. But I didn't want to pay $150 for one, and I didn't want to have to run a power cord across the lawn.
Fellow blogger Gayla Trail at You Grow Girl offered this elegantly modest water feature, designed by a friend using spare clay pot saucers.
The difficulty would be, of course, that it is standing water and it might invite mosquitoes of not changed regularly.
But it sure is cute!
