Everything looked perfect! Wow, so beautiful.
So how did you get the "stuff" in your path, the non-stones to stay down. I love that look: a mosaic walkway of larger items.
The fascinators are beautiful!
I love the pops of red in the daylilies and the coneflowers and how well they look with the house. I bet you had tons of compliments! Well done!!

My husband was looking over my shoulder to take your photo tour. We love the iron work pieces in the paths!

Your vintage glass art is so unique and beautiful! Your entire garden is so lovely, no wonder it is on a garden tour. I'm sure your visitors where thrilled.

Thanks for linking to your photos.

How beautiful and unique. I, too, really love the paths with the mosaic of texture.. Is that concluded hot papaya or something like that very pretty...and I love your greenhouse. How did you get started with the glass pieces very cool. Great job and now you can sit back and relax for the rest of the summer and enjoy all your hard work.

Darn spell corrector on my iPad...asking if that is echinacea hot papaya? Apparently it corrected coneflower above LOL.

What an interesting and beautiful garden! I love your paths and house as well. Thank you for sharing!

Congratulations on your successful garden tour. Love those paths! They've given me great ideas for my own side yard. Thank you :)
@ cindysunshine - have you ever seen this website?

I have an old furnace register grate that just might have a new home after seeing your garden. Lots of inspiration in those paths.

Thanks for the kind words.

The path has been laid on a layer of "base". which is just crushed stone and gravel.

Yes Cindy, it is Echinacea Hot papaya. Some of the flowers are poorly formed, so I'm holding judgement on this one for a while. I found the glass totems here on Garden Web in the Garden Junk forum.

Our hosta club is coming on the 7th. After that I plan to sit back and let the weeds grow for a while.

Fantastic photo tour! I love your paths. Your greenhouse is the cutest ever. Thanks for sharing it- I'll be back.

It looks like you have been having a lot of fun with your garden. Love that green glass birdbath and all the items you incorporated into the pathway. Very different. Great house too. Everything looks well cared for and you definitely deserve to sit back and enjoy it for awhile.

I so enjoyed the garden tour - you are so creative! Beautiful and whimsical....

This is one of the best examples of how to add spontaneity and whimsy into the garden I have seen in a long time! You have great style and great taste. I'm in love with your pathway (and the hostas lining it ;-). Awesome idea. Just curious though, do you find it difficult to walk on the raised wrought iron parts? So they are just lying in gravel and not set in concrete?

I'm envious of your greenhouse/cold frame!!! Guessing that it is made with old windows?? It is absolutely adorable. Love the surrounding pond/garden nook too.

Your house is wonderful too- so vibrant and colorful.
I thoroughly enjoyed your garden tour. Thanks so much!

Just beautiful! Love the paths. People are always giving away different style pavers, bricks, etc. it's a great idea to do an eclectic path. Thanks for sharing.

The items are set in base, which includes varying amounts of gravel. This is only meant as a garden path, if we just want to get to the backyard we use the other side of the house. That's where the side doors and driveway are located, so it's much more convenient. So far no one has had a problem with the path. Our second garden tour was yesterday, so there's been quite a bit of traffic. Hardy anyone even noticed what they were walking on yesterday, because they were from the Hosta Society and were busy looking at the hosta.

The base was the only expense for this project. The metal pieces were lying around the house and the brick and stone were from the previous path.

We made the greenhouse five years ago mostly from old windows we picked up at an auction for two dollars. At that time there weren't any pictures posted on the internet of this. We had to come up with the plans ourselves, and we had never built anything with a roof before. We were so proud of it and ourselves when we finished.

My Dh came home with a big round fiberglass tub about 4' round and 1' deep for free, that I think we'll make into a miniature garden. Then Thursday he came home from work with an antique cane cutter for just $30 that will make a great garden ornament. I use to be the creative one but he's really picked up the bug too.
