Blowin' In The Wind....

Hey TNC? THIS post is for YOU! I didn't want ya to think I was "just sayin' it" ... so here's a few of my wind chimes!

This is the very first one I got -- it was a housewarming gift from my sister a little over 19 years ago! I collect other puter things, so she just knew I would love a pewter wind chime - and she was right! It's not as shiney as it once was... but pewter just always looks good no matter what! I still love it.

Flip Flop Floozie oughta like this one! I'm a beach fanatic so this brought a little piece of the beach to my yard! It was so much better when the kids were small and we had a whole SANDBOX! But this will do for now... *sigh* ... until grandkids!

This one doubles up as a wind chime and a bird feeder! Can't beat that! It hangs from the monkeybars out in our playground along with another bird feeder and a suet feeder. Since the kids don't use the playground anymore, I figure the wildlife might as well!

This one is also out on the playground side of the house. These bushes aren't looking their best right now because of the intensely hot summer we've had, but usually the leaves are a really beautiful deep dark maroon-ish color and the bluebird just looks SO pretty amid that!

Bet you can guess that THIS one hangs in my kitchen - right over my sink. It's the newest one. (other than the one you just sent me) This one will live in my kitchen probably for the rest of this year, and then it will move outside to become garden whimsy and something else will move in to take it's place! That's the way the kitchen chime works!

One more pewter chime, and then I'll show you what I did with yours! This one I got 6 years ago for my birthday. The same time we got our black lab, Jewl. This one has moved around the house a few times... it was the kitchen chime for awhile, and then it was in my computer room, back when I had one... and now it hangs out in the livingroom with me. I love this chime almost as much as I love that puppy - and this one will never go outside. :)

Ta-da, TA-DA! This is the chime you sent me, and I thought that since I won it for a patriotic display, it should be PART of a patriotic display! And so it was given this most prestigious spot right under the flag in our front yard! To me it looks like it's standing sentry! And the flag holder had the hooks already there like it was just BEGGING for that chime to be there! T'was meant to be!

Thank you again TNC!
I hope NOW you know how much I treasure it!
And always will!

Holy Cow! You weren't kiddin' - I *love* chimes. If I had previously known you collected them I could have gotten one that was much more orginal!

It makes me so happy to know I sent something you really like and it's beautiful with the flag.

The kitchen chime is pretty neato! I like that.. it's unique.

I bet when the wind blows, it sounds lovely around there!

You've got quite the collection there! I love windchimes, but unfortunately, we get so much wind here, they keep me (and I suspect the neighbours) up at night, so have only a couple of the smaller, more tinkly ones up.

Wow, they look great. You have quite a collection and I agree the new one looks very patriotic under the flag.

I was being nosy and had to see what you had over here for TNChick!! LOL Wow! You really do love chimes! TNChick picked the perfect *prize* for you definitely! I'm pretty partial to that froggie bird feeder one! I have a similar one! :) But the kitchen was is my favorite - very cute & unique! :)

Very, very nice! I love windchimes, and you have some nice ones. I only have one(mainly because of the wind here), but I collect birdhouses and love to look at those.
