#1 – Outdoor Spiral Wind Spinner
This spiral spinner would look fabulous hung from any outdoor entry! The spinner is available with different colored spheres – choose your favorite.
This spinner could be hung from a tree in your landscaping, or hung from a shepherd hook in a garden. You could even hang this spinner off the corner eaves of a garage or garden shed. Regardless of where you hang it, it’s sure to be a focal point in your decor.
#2 – Outdoor Macrame Hanging Swing Chair
Aahhh…. to relax outside with a good book in a comfortable hanging swing chair… That’s what Summer is all about!
This large swing chair can be hung indoors or out. Hang one or more from a deck for a comfortable place to relax after a day working outside in the yard. If you have a swingset your kids are no longer using, replace the kids swings with this swing chair. This chair could also be hung from a tree as a shady retreat. If you like DIY projects, you could even make a wood post frame for your backyard as a place to hang this chair. Be creative!
Use the chair as is, or add your favorite outdoor pillows for a great look. You could even add a set of LED string lights to the chair ropes for a romantic, soft look.
While I love the look of the chair itself, I’m personally not a fan of the tassels hanging down. If you feel the same, just trim them off for a clean look. There are so many ways you can personalize this chair to fit your decor!
#3 – Copper Plant Markers
These copper plant markers have so many uses!
These markers are reusable. They can be written on with a permanent marker for permanent signs, or with a dry-erase marker for reuse. If you prefer, you could also use metal stamps to stamp text into the metal. The metal is soft enough, you could also use a nail (or other sharp objects) to ‘etch’ text into the metal. You could also use an old-fashioned DYMO label maker to create the text, then stick the label onto this marker.
These stylish copper markers are weatherproof and long-lasting. They can be used to label outdoor plants in a garden or houseplants indoors.
When using these copper markers for houseplants, you could write the name of the plant on one side of the marker, then on the backside, write brief information about the water and light needs of each plant.
These copper markers are also fun to use for parties! Use a dry-erase marker to write the names of cheeses on a cheese platter, or the names of fancy hors d’oeuvres on a buffet table. They also make unique gift tags on wrapped gifts – especially special gifts to gardeners. If you’re a handy person, you could also cut and twist the metal stakes on these markers to turn them into hanging tags, then use the hanging tags to label items in a pantry or linen closet. Lots of clever ways you can use these tags!

You can find product links to all three things on Pinterest at Things I Like and you can find some of these things in my Amazon Marketplace Storefront.
NOTE: Since my job is an online store and mentoring ecommerce business owners, I spend a LOT of time online each day. While most of that time is spent working, I do occasionally stumble across websites, articles, and cool things that I really like. I save these things to a Pinterest board, so someday when I have some free time, I can go back to that board and enjoy the things I found. I enjoy sharing these fun finds with you, and hope you find them interesting, too!
