Now all spring I have been trying to get a picture of a bird enjoying our Bread Feeder, and last week I finally did.  So here it is - two lovely blue tits enjoying their food.  Our Bread Feeder is so simple yet as you can see very effective.

Made from pine wood and wire mesh, all you do is place a slice of bread in between the wire mesh and watch the birds enjoy.
Measurements are 16.9cm x 2.2cm x 17.6cm including hanging chain.  Priced at just £3.99 this is a brilliant product especially if like us you have dogs that love to eat stale bread! This item keeps it well out of their reach.

Good Morning everyone and well done - we made it to Friday. What a busy week we have had here at Ruddick Garden Gifts.  But now the weekend is here and we can relaxxxxxxxxxxxxx.  Looks like it might be nice as well so hopefully we'll get out in the garden!

Today I wanted to share with you a little story about our Wind Spinners and why they are sooooooooooo fantastic!



A couple of years ago I bought this wind spinner for hubby as a gift.  It was green when I bought it.  We hung it up in the garden but after a couple of months it started to rust.  To say I was disappointed was an understatement.  It wasn't cheap! That was it, I was on a mission to find wind spinners that wouldn't rust which I did and have brought them to you.





Our wind spinners are all made from stainless steel and then are powder coated so they will last much longer than a normal wind spinner.  As you can see this Splash Copper wind spinner looks like new - would you believe it has been hanging in my garden since last summer.  I left it out all winter purposefully, to see what would happen and as you can see it looks fantastic.  We have three price ranges for our spinners, small ones are £14.99, large ones are £24.99 and the deluxe ones are £29.99. Some may think they are toooooo expensive but when you consider that the one I originally bought was £24.99 and look what happened to that I think our spinners are a great buy!  Why not check them out at http://www.ruddickgardengifts.co.uk/wind-spinners.html

If you didn't make it but want to check out our products then it is really easy, go to our website at www.ruddickgardengifts.co.uk
