Happy Labor Day, all! To get the party even more pumped up on this national holiday, I’m going to talk about garden signs and lawn ornaments. 

A few Fridays ago, Erin and I hit up a sale that we’ll update you about soon. It was held in a commercial space (we’ve been to sales there before) and there’s an outdoor area. While I was out there, I spotted a bunch of terrifying lawn ornaments. Here’s the best one. 

Then, out of the corner of my eye, I spotted this totally adorable sign: 

Is that not the cutest thing you’ve ever seen?! 

Here it is, guarding an area in front of my home where I DO find frogs (ok, toads really) on a regular basis: 

I was actually reluctant to put it there because I thought someone might steal it but I don’t think my neighborhood is filled with garden art thieves. YOU NEVER KNOW, THOUGH. 

Here’s another related fave that I also found at an estate sale a few years back. I drove to this sale in BIRMINGHAM (note, far from my house) just to get this guy specifically. Shockingly, he was still there when I arrived to take him home. 

This hedgehog was brand spanking new when I bought him but is now a little rough around the edges. He’s got a hole in his nose and my 14-year-old dog pees on him on a regular basis. But still–adorable. 

And just for fun, check out two of my other faves. 

Neither of these were found while treasure hunting. I picked up the frogs at my local TJ Maxx (I’m a Maxxinista) and the singing cats were gifted to me by Erin from a MAIL ORDER CATALOG for my birthday a few years ago. Fun fact: both Erin and my mom bought me the same lawn ornament for my birthday that year. This is how you know you are super cool.
