This one came from my mother-in-law
The catalpa tree had held most of these wind chimes for the best part of 20 years. When we took it down, I really missed the sounds.
From a tag sale
I started finding garden hooks at tag sales. The first 2 weren’t cheap, but the other 2 certainly were.
Another tag sale find that makes particularly lovely sounds
Another one from my mother-in-law
I’ve been enjoying the sounds through the open window in my office or bedroom.
Another tag sale find
I never thought this shell one would last very long but it’s been up at least 10 years.
One of the many tiny ones I have
From my mother-in-law
She must have had a lot of them hanging in front of her house in Florida.
I’ve had this one a very long time, and it’s rusty to prove it!
A Peace bell
I had a TimeBank worker come out many years ago. He made these bells, and the stand for the birdbath. The bell has a very deep heavy sound. It is also very heavy, probably 10 pounds. It kept tipping the hooks over, so I hung it from the swingset beam.
This is not all of them, I still have a big box of bags of them stored. As I find more garden hooks, I can hang up more of them.
We have a constant westerly wind here, so they make a lot of music throughout the day and night.
