Garden Art Sailor Boy Pumping Himself In A Swing: A Gewgaw to Grace Your Garden
Vintage Garden Art Sailor Boy Swinging From a Tree. Homemade, Solid Pinewood, Sweet GewGaw. Lovely shabby, flaky, chippy aged patina. He hangs from a (very old) rope and swings in the breeze as if he is "pumping" himself in the swing! He will also sit on any flat surface for display, if desired. 22" X 12" in solid 3/4 pine construction, homemade and hand painted, most likely from a pattern in someone's home workshop back in the day.
AHOY MATEY!
Portland Pandemonium's Garden Roots
When we started Portland Pandemonium we needed things to fill up our store so we simply walked around our yard and garden and started "picking" stuff right where we lived! We had big collections of outdoor items including bird houses, thermometers, metal signs, gee-gaws, tin containers, old garden tools, and a ton of decorative items here and there and everywhere around the place and it was these objects that helped make up our initial shop's inventory. Plus, this turned out to be the beginning of our age-related "downsizing" soon to come!
Today this kind of yard & garden stuff continues to be a staple for us and we are always looking for things that might find their best use by being stuck somewhere in a yard or garden. And, of course, the odder and quirkier the better. So, come take a little stroll around our garden with us, but be sure to keep both your eyes and your mind open!
