To think that the garden centre manager nicked my idea? (Lighthearted)

Spot the difference.

On the left is the bespoke garden ornament I lovingly crafted over the summer, made from a battered watering can found abandoned at my parents and a string of fairy lights. This has been hanging outside our house since August.
On the left is the knock off at the local garden centre.
Raging! 😂

I have never seen that before OP, if that makes you feel any better?!

IhateBoswell · 08/11/2020 14:31

Well I haven’t seen one before! Looks smashing that.

Peasbewithyou · 08/11/2020 14:31

Also think yours looks much nicer!

Bluetrews25 · 08/11/2020 14:38

Lovely!
At least you didn't go on dragons den with it.

YellowHighlighterPen · 08/11/2020 14:40

I haven't see it before either.

Raging? 🥴🥴🥴 Glad you have your priorities in order op.

Everyone on the budget fb groups who frog taped their walls and now have a grey lounge with a Sapphire Salute feature wall have these. Sorry op, they've been around for yonks.

I do like your rustic version.

She was clearly joking
MummyInTheNecropolis · 08/11/2020 14:45

I’ve never seen them before and yours is a million times nicer than any of the others!

I love this - I've never seen it either - but I will probably pinch the idea to make it for my mum.

I'm a Scot - fairly common up here to say it in jest (there's also a specific vocal tone applied to it, but obviously can't replicate that in type).

Yours looks way better!!

Gingernaut · 08/11/2020 15:28

Yours has the decayed, industrial shabby chic vibe that brand new, shiny watering cans do not.

Yours is much better.

wingardium8 · 08/11/2020 17:26

I’ve never seen this before - and think yours is MUCH better than the garden centre’s Smile

SheSaidNoFuckThat · 08/11/2020 18:16

These were all over the Facebook diy pages and insta last year, yours looks good though

Stompythedinosaur · 08/11/2020 18:38

Sorry, I've seen these all over too.

I do think you've made yours nicely.
