    I think you notice the plants (or garden features) that you like @Busy-Lizzie and I would really like one of those antique copper planters, if only I could justify the cost :).

    Visual matches on Google describe it as a wooden bird - heron. But our herons don't look as nice. I think it's a cute version of a heron.
