Gorgeous basket of gardening goodies, can I please ask where you got the scarecrow, he is fab
Hi rainmac, thank you! He came from a little garden centre at the end of the summer when they were selling off all the gardening goodies, think he was about £2.50. I've just googled the garden centre to see if there are any other around the country but it seems to be a one off. I'm in the south west...
I did find this one on ebay tho..! http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Scarecrow-ornament-toy_W0QQitemZ280290096114QQcmdZViewItemQQptZUK_Home_Garden_Decorative_Accents_LE?hash=item280290096114&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14&_trkparms=72%3A1301%7C66%3A2%7C65%3A12%7C39%3A1%7C240%3A13180 -
