Scarecrows - The Best Of the Rest

Awhile ago, I showed you the stuffed scarecrows around here. Now I will show you the regular ones. There are so many here that I will only show ones that are unique or different in some way. For some reason, this one reminds me of Jimmy Buffet.
 

I think this one is a girl.

Dracula

I love this one!

Rag doll scarecrows.


And the metal ones


“Life is populated with scarecrows - all those people and things that seem so scary and trouble our sleep. Isn’t it nice to know that most of them turn out to be made of nothing but straw?”

Great collection. We don't have these in our area. I have seen one or two when I passed by the padi fields many years ago.

Nice selection of scarecrows. Can't decide which one I like the best but I'm leaning towards the second one or the one you said you loved.

I like that quote about nothing but straw, all of these are so cute and creative. I am with you on your favorite, I think we like it because it is a traditional REAL scarecrow. I also like the female scarecrow, she isn't to scary but looks cute to me... I wonder how the crows feel??? ha ha

The rag dolls are favored by me!

ps...Ginny? If you make the gourd birds with your girls...just to let you know, you may have to sand some of the gourds' ridges so they will sit level & firm for gluing.

Fun seeing these scarecrows! Dracula scarecrow is perfect for Halloween season :-) Rag doll scarecrows are adorable!

Lois said...

They are all fabulous Ginny. I can't pick a favorite!

Ruth Hiebert said...

I think my favourite is the Raggedy Anns.

Your area really goes all out for most occasions. Wish it was they way here. Fort worth not to big on this type of showing. Thank you for letting us enjoy them through your lens.
