Remember when these were the rage in people's front yards, now you hardly see them any more.

Besides the reflective ball on the pedestal, these other two have never been the rage in my area. I have seen them, but rarely.

My grandmother had the globe, flamingos and a birdbath with a boy riding a dolphin in addition to several groupings of chairs!
I suppose it wasn't any worse than all of the inflatable holiday decorations from the local home center.

The yards full of inflatable plastic holiday "blimps" turn me off. I'd rather your grandmothers stuff- even the flamingos!
Oh, why can't everyone do what I want?

Another re-purposed bathtub use. Respect your religious icons by putting them in an old bathtub in your front yard.
Nooooo please don’t :hide:

Hey, I've seen a few Bathtub Marys decorated with lights, too. Also Bathtub Jesus' lit up at Christmas. This was mainly when I was a child. Subsequent generations don't do it anymore, or at least that I can see. I was surprised to see the above .

I don't mind the "Bathtub Jesus" at all. If you don't think BATH TUB, it's a pretty good setting.

That's actually probably the worst taste garden ornament I've ever seen Ugh!! !!.. but as will some of you, I have never seen those flamingos' et al, in anyone gardens here... Gnomes used to be the ornament of choice in some UK gardens...not around here, but in many places, even today I think some old people still have them ...people used to pinch them and take them away on holiday sending pictures of Gnome in Paris, or Rome or Disney land ... back to the owner..

These jockey lawn ornaments are still popular in nearby Saratoga Springs where the horse racing culture is prevalent. There used to be many black-faced ones around, but have mostly disappeared or been re-painted because they were P.I.
