Sarah suggested a visit to Creative Recycling - a place we both love and it was only a short drive away! Everything in the shop is art using waste materials and we are always inspired when we go there!
The garden is between the main gallery and the one at the back where workshops are held.
I'll just let you wander around as we did - sorry Elizabeth - I know you will be here a while!!!
Now, as I am here for T stands for Tuesday with Bluebeard and Elizabeth and I forgot to take a photo I will show you the takeaway coffee hubby and I had when we went to do our Christmas shopping!
Finally yesterday we went out to Dunham Massey with our son and grandchildren.
It was a lovely frosty sunny day and I am rather pleased with this shot of the setting sun through the trees!
Thanks for looking, Chris

Chris i find that the act of trying to figure out how to repurpose something is really a muscle and the more you use your imagination the easier it gets to see something as something different... I try to exercise that muscle as often as possible... thank you so much for the pictures .. i LOVED them... Happy first T day of 2017 Hugs! deb
ReplyDeleteOh My !!!!! That shop is just so awesome!!!! You would have to drag me out of it :) Thanks so much for sharing ♥♥♥♥
ReplyDeleteThat is a cool garden, and I love that it isn't covered in a lot of snow. (Like I have). I really enjoyed the photos in this post. Happy T day! Hugs-Erika
ReplyDeleteWhat a cool garden! You could spend hours there wandering around and looking at everything. I especially loved the glass pond and waterfall. Love your photo of the sun through the trees. The large tree looks quite old. The tree in the center may be close to the same age, but looks younger to me. Like the old year and the sun welcoming the new year. Oh, and nice to see no snow. We had our first snow event over the weekend. I'm counting down the days until the first day of Summer.
ReplyDeleteI'm so sorry I'm late visiting. I am having all kinds of computer problems at the moment, and my brand new computer that is less than a week old is now gone. My friend Scott thinks it's the video card, but since it has a warranty, he took everything back with him. Of course, I was offline until we could figure out the problem. SEVEN hours later, and both of us are frustrated.
ReplyDeleteI was so impressed with Creative Recycling. I loved the garden, but the recycled pieces were amazing. Is that slate I see? And that waterfall is out of this world. The things they do with fused glass blows my mind at times.
I like the shot through the trees at Dunham Massey. I bet you all had a lot of fun.
Those disposable cups look very wintery and festive. I certainly would drink something in them. Thanks for sharing your trip to the Garden and Creative Recycling, along with your take out cups with us for T this Wednesday (NOW).
such a beautiful shop and the waterfall is amazing! you went to many wonderful places over the last year!
ReplyDeleteall the best for 2017!
Chris, first I want to thank you for this amazing romp through crafty recycled heaven, and second, for hanging with me on my blog! I love reading your lovely comments! They are like little gifts to me! Lovely landscape shot, too! Now I'm going to scroll down and see what's happening in that crafty place of yours! Sending New Year's wishes and hugs!
ReplyDeleteThat fused glass pond is spectacular - would love to have one. And I would also love to visit this delightful place!
