The oddest rat scurried at my feet. I screamed. Thoughts in chaos. Why? The small black rat was in reality the BROKEN HEAD OF ST. FRANCIS, about 3" & black, rolling quickly by. .
Brain thought, RAT. Eyes saw a face.
.
That began my BROKEN HEADS collection.
.
Girlie, above, is about 4". She cost a $1 at some nursery. Another joy of my BROKEN HEAD collection? Cheap. One nursery tried to charge me $12 for a BROKEN HEAD, ha, I walked.

Only the observant will discover my BROKEN HEADS collection in the garden.

Garden & Be Well, XO Tara
What a fabulous idea!
ReplyDeleteGood for you...smiles.
Hi Tara,
ReplyDeleteOh I love broken heads! Doesn't that sound funny. In our old house while digging up the garden I found one of a little boy. He's so cute and now he is in the boxwood topiary pot next to my front door. I'm always on the lookout for more because I think they are charming. My husband thinks they are scary. Ha, Ha.

A "broken head collection"- how very cool!!
ReplyDeleteThat's funny!! I would have screamed too! It's cool the quirky things that we find charming!! Love it!
ReplyDeleteI have a broken heads collection too; tucked here and there about my garden. I knew that *I* like them, but cool is it to know that they have the approval of a pro!
ReplyDeleteI am fascinated that you loved being on the lookout spiders, snakes & rats! I am absolutely terrified of snakes.
ReplyDeleteAlas I have no broken heads....BUT the old farmhouse we're buying has a couple of headless women...one of the naked!
What do they say? If you have 3 of something it's a collection? I'm well on my way to finding those bodies you girls are missing! LOL
Well, I had not read this posting before now. I also have 3 broken statuary heads tucked into my garden. I love them. My daughter-in-law says they give her chills.
