My favorite garden whimsie is Here kitty kitty. I volunteer at a no kill cat shelter and spay nueter clinics. Who say black cats are hard to adopt? Keep with all the creative ideas. It really brightens my day. Karen

	Mary Mirabal on Saturday, August 20, 2011 3:21 PM Thanks so much for stopping by. This tea cup was just too beautiful to pass up when I saw it. So glad you like it.

Kathleen Levy on Friday, August 19, 2011 10:50 PM

You make this so difficult, Mary! I love all your pieces. But if someone twisted my arm and held my face in the dirt, I'd have to say I like the Melissa Garden Stake the best. That cute woman on the top looks a little something like me. lol Thanks for having this giveaway. Someone is going to be a happy winner!


	Mary Mirabal on Saturday, August 20, 2011 3:25 PM Hi Kathleen. You're too funny!! Melissa does look a bit like you now that you mention it. Thanks for being such a great fan. Always love reading your comments.

Linda Gillenwaters on Friday, August 19, 2011 10:56 PM

Choose just one? Mary, I have been admiring and saving postings of your work since day one - on GardenJunk (lol). So Ok, I decided my favorite is: (drumroll) Blossoms Garden Stake. I love how the theme is carried throughout the stake. It is so perfectly matched and balanced. It makes me happy just to gaze upon it - which is why I garden. Love and many thanks, Linda G. (Sprout)


	Mary Mirabal on Saturday, August 20, 2011 3:33 PM Awww thanks soo much Linda for the lovely comment. Folks on the GardenForum are THE BEST. So glad I found that site last year. I haven't had much time to post lately, but I do appreciate everyone's kind, encouraging words. Please tell them all I said HI!! Thanks for stopping by and I look forward to hearing from you again.

Linda Gibson on Saturday, August 20, 2011 12:26 AM

Air Balloon Teapot Garden Totem is my absolute favorite. The pink/green combination is so sweetly feminine and would add a very special touch to a garden. My fav dish "Desert Rose" is the bottom plate, a beautiful beginning to build upon and gorgeous all the way to the air balloon!


	Mary Mirabal on Saturday, August 20, 2011 3:35 PM Thanks Linda. This was such a fun one to design. I just love the teapot. So whimsical. So happy you are a fan and hope you'll visit often.

MammyPammy on Saturday, August 20, 2011 2:40 AM

The more I look, the more favorites I have. Think I'll FAVORITE: Rabbits in the Cabbage Patch Garden Totem, because where else do Rabbits belong but in my garden? My kitchen maybe! I'll keep watch for a flamingo though...


	Mary Mirabal on Saturday, August 20, 2011 3:37 PM A flamingo . . . now that's a request I haven't had yet!! Let me think on that one. So happy you like my garden art. Those rabbits were just too cute not to make something with them. Thought they were just adorable. Hope you will visit again.

Claudia Boling on Saturday, August 20, 2011 6:28 AM

I was going to say that "Morning Call Rooster" was my favorite and then I saw "Here Kitty Kitty". He looks just like my black kitty named Posh who likes to hang around the birdbath waiting for unsuspecting birds! I love all your designs! Claudia


	Mary Mirabal on Saturday, August 20, 2011 3:39 PM thanks Claudia. Here Kitty Kitty seems to be a hit!! My black cat inspired the garden stake. So glad you like them. Thanks for visiting my shop and I hope you'll come back to visit again.

Carol Jandreau on Saturday, August 20, 2011 10:39 PM

I love the one with the cobalt blue teapot on top - the patterns witht the yellows and blues remind me of France. It's so bright and crisp! Beautiful!

Cheryl Sinclair on Monday, August 22, 2011 11:41 AM

Jeanie Merritt on Saturday, August 27, 2011 7:47 PM

I love the Merry Mermaids,and pick it as my favorite because of the "extra" out of the ordinary whimsy!! It makes you not only look at it and say, " Gee, that's pretty," but makes you want to revisit and have a second look...You are so talented in putting the pieces together. I appreciate your work!

http://www.etsy.com/listing/80521685/butterfly-cottage-garden-stake. I had to choose a favorite!? Each one that I look at is my new favorite. I choose the butterfly/fairy cottage because I collect little houses. But no display of these enchantments is as charming, as fetching, as "made-for" as Mary's Garden Whimsies. You thrill me. You delight me. You make me feel centered. You make big scoops of happiness.

Mary your Garden Whimsies are just adorable. You combine some of the neatest things together to create some garden fun. Your sunflower one and the one that has the butterfly cottage. I think many would make great cookie servers around the holiday time too! Congrats on the feature in the FMGarden mag. I will have to go fan you on FB and keep an eye on your fun creations - Judy

I love the rabbits in the cabbage patch totem (remember I tried to order it but it was for local delivery only) and the new posting of the hummingbirds stake. I am so glad I found your site. I'm anxiously awaiting my order! I think next year I'm going to need a bigger garden(smile). Thanks, Rose in Wisconsin.

sherri on Thursday, May 03, 2012 11:29 AM

Mary, I enjoy each and everyone of them but my favorite has to be the Garden Stake Fairy Cottage because its full of bright and beautiful colors, and its cheerful, and bring a smile to my face and if I can wake each morning and see this priceless piece of art sitting either in my home or in my garden outside my apt , which would cheer it up, then I would cheerish it forever.Keep up the beautiful GardenWhimsies because they are beautiful. Sherri :)


	Mary Mirabal on Monday, May 14, 2012 7:52 PM Hi Sherri, Thanks so much for taking time to look at my garden whimsies and tell me which is your favorite. I'm so happy they make you smile. That's the reaction I strive for!! I've been very remiss on my blogging and I will do better to stay active. I hope you'll come back to visit again. Best, Mary
