Scarecrows

It took the better part of two weekends but we made scarecrows at our house. The results are happy enough. At least I am happy with them.
At our house there is one on the inside, one on the outside. The grandbaby wanted one for her house so naturally we made one for there, also. Two are girls. One is a boy.
We started with a scarecrow "lady." She is quite the belle. She has a ruffled top and flowing white skirt fitted onto a garden trellis. Her hat was fashioned from a flower pot. Her hair is made of  sprigs of parsley, rosemary and thyme with a but of lavender and wild onion thrown in. Her jewelry is made of acorns and wooden
beads. Her pocketbook is fashioned from a miniature pumpkin. We like her so much that we've left her in the breakfast room. The little boy scarecrow, recycled from years past, is on the porch.  The cool girl pumpkin is in the flower bed at Grandbaby's house.
I was left fully satisfied with the results but a longing to see Leonie Ledy-Lepin, the french foreign exchange student who participated in our first annual scarecrow making fest...
