I just love scarecrows, don't you? They add so much charm and fun to a garden. So this year, I made this sweet girl to keep me company while I'm scratching around in the soil. She wears her favorite apron ~ such a farmgirl ~ and holds a basket of small gardening tools for me so they are handy when I'm ready to play in the dirt. And if I'm really lucky, she'll keep the bunnies away while I'm not around.
Just for fun, suggest a name for Miss Scarecrow in the comments of this post. When you do, your name will be entered into a drawing for my handcrafted primitive bunny. He comes with a big grungy carrot ~ freshly pulled from the garden! He even has a little hang tag with his favorite Bible verse which, of course, is "And the Lord God planted a garden ..." Genesis 2:14. Best of all, he prefers muslin carrots so he won't try to nibble the greens in your garden!
For an extra entry, just include a link to this post on your blog announcing my giveaway and I'll drop your name in the basket a second time ... just be sure to let me know if you do so I don't miss it.
The winner will be drawn on the evening of Monday, May 26th. Please be sure to leave your blog link ~ or for you non-bloggers, you may email me with your email address so I can notify you if you win. The winner will have until June 1st to claim their prize or a secondary winner will be drawn at that time.
So get creative and let's have some fun!
And please be sure to scroll down and read about another special giveaway from me and my Glad Tidings sisters! It's realllllly nice and you won't want to miss it!
Blessings,
Lea

how about "Mommet Tattie Bogle" ?
a funny name I know but it combines both the Somerset and Scotland names for scarecrows..(mommet for Somerset (U.K.) and Tattie bogle for Scotland.)
I thought all together they made a quite charming name for a scarecrow lady.
I need a scarecrow toooo! *lol* The birds always have a feast in our cherry tree.. we have to pick the cherries when they're still slightly underripe or they'll eat everything..
That said, I must say yours reminds me of Michael Jackson, when he played the scarecrow in the Wizard of Oz movie.. but then again, just about anything reminds me of Michael Jackson, hahaha..
ok, I'll go with Antje (pronounced Anchy) because then you will have a scarecrow with an authentic Dutch name.. hahaha.. like you've been waiting for that ;)
Greetings from the netherlands!
Hi Lea, sorry I have been away for so long. I'll try to be better. About 7 years ago my Mother made me a life size 'doll'. I named her Aunt Sally and I think that would be a good name for the scarecrow. I used to drive around withAunt Sally and people would look and wonder--she really was nice---I would smile and continue on my way. I have always like scarecrows, even with a crow sitting on its shoulder.
You have such a nice blog--I will mention your giveaway on my blog. MB
Lea, I think you should name her "Auntie Bellum". She's too pretty to be a scarecrow- I'd put her on my front porch as the welcome lady! LOL
I'm posting about your give-a-way, too!
Lea,
Love your little garden helper, you are too clever. Does she stay out in the bad weather? Or does she go sit on the porch?
LETS SEE A NAME-MRS.WIGGENS. YES FROM THE CAROL BURNETT SHOW.
NANCY JO
Good Monday morning Lea! Thanks for stopping by my blog. I love Miss Scarecrow! She's really not so scary after all and I love that her pockets are full of your tools. It must be too early for my best thinking because the all I can come up with right now is 'Miss I'm Tool Cute' . See - I said it was early - LOL! Have a great day, hugs, Linda
lea,
Thankyou for all your nice comments. Please tell your Mom Hi for me and thank her for looking at my site. Yes I stitched the pillow on the bed quiet a few years ago.
Did you plant anything around your little arbor yet?
NANCY JO
I love your scarecrow! And thebunny is adorable. :)
Let's see, what to name her? How about "Charlotte"?
I hope she scares away lots of birds!
I think the name Miss Fancypants fits her. She is all decked out!
Hey Lea!! This might register as a duplicate comment,I`m not sure if the first one went through or not.Anyway,I just love your scarecrow!!She is so whimsical and cute!!You are so creative!!i think Lucey May sounds like a good name for her.I will blog about your contest today as well.Thanks so much for stopping by my blog and leaving a sweet comment!!I always look forward to reading your comments!!You are such a sweet and caring person and I am so glad we met!!I hope you have a blessed day today!!
Hi Lea...I love that scarecrow.
I'm just sure she is Annie Belle!
Have a wonderful Monday-
Pam
she is so cute so you have to give her a cute name as well, hmmm.... Betsie!! love it:)
LOVE her!!!!! I think Mrs. Krumpetts would fit her perfectly!
Cora
How about Mrs. MitMot!!! LOL...That's my MIL's nickname! She calls us up and leaves us Looooong and hilarious messages...changing her voice, pretending to be a old lady named Mrs, MitMot!!! She says she's a very gifted and well to do lady! LOL...
I love your bunny too!!! Tooooo cute! I sure would like to add it to my bunny collection! :)
Naomi
Hi Lea,
Your scarecrow just looks so friendly, she looks like she'd be so hospitable to the little bunnies with her little basket..maybe even inviting them for a treat! lol! How about "Miss Daisy"? She has some a sweet face...looks like you'd want to sit down and talk with her and she'd have lots of wisdom to share! She's adorable!
Have a great week!
Tammy
What a precious lady scarecrow! So, she must have a lady-like title/name. How about the Southern way of referring to 'a lady of a certain age'?
'Miss Cutie-Pie'
And btw, Mary Beth at Day4plus blog sent me over...
Mari-Nanci
Smilnsigh
Photos-City-Mine
I think you should call her Miss Madeline or Miss Maddy...hehe (My daughter's name is Madelyn..and i just think it is sweeeeeeet...LOL)
Best of luck choosing the best name!!! That bunny is awesome!!! Have a wonderful Monday! xoxo
Hey, Lea, it's me/ I have a great affection for the name-"Mrs. Beasley". She was little Buffy's doll on Family Affair. I know a lady that name her little dog Mrs. Beasley. She has a heart and a great apron!
I will be posting the giveaways on my blog and you know how to find me!
How about "Garden Goddess"? Wait that's you! :) I think "Girtie Flirty" is a great name. I think it suits her fine with her fun apron! :) Thanks for the great giveaway. Your bunny is so prim!
To answer your question about the bowls. I just sanded them down (one had a snowman painted on the inside. :)) and painted the ones that already had paint on them black. Then I painted them all the desired color I wanted. Sand and stain. Done!
Have a great day!
How's your son feeling? I hope he is doing better...
Hi! Lea,
Your scarecrow is the cutest!! She looks to me like "Apron Annie"!
Thanks for the fun!! I posted for you on my blog.
I love her, such a wonderful greeting when you go out to your garden but I bet she's so sweet to the bunnies she probably knows where they can eat without getting into trouble and tells them about it! How about Mrs. Minever, she looks so prissy, I also love the prim rabbit.
Blessings Rondell
Now, Miss Lea!
If you'd made the prize, let's say.... a used piece of bubble gum... I'd have had 10 names come to mind. But you made the prize MUCH too good and the pressure is just too much for me! I can't even remember my own name right now!!!
Your scarecrow is beautiful -- I don't think she's gonna scare anything off. They're all gonna want to be her friends!
You have a Blessed Day!
Julie
I think her name should be "Miss Gussy" the chicken lady.
I love your bunny and if I don't win I would love to buy/barter for one!!!
Hugs and God bless you,
Pauline (Holiday Angel)
What a great idea to do for our garden too!! Thank you for posting both of them.
To go along with the Southern lady AND the garden theme...how about Miz Evie? Who else would be "In The Garden" properly watching over things?
Hi Lea I love your scarecrow!! I think Miss Gardenia would be an excellent name for her!!lol...Now I hope I win Miss Bunny!!!Have a great night!!~Wendy
Oh, she's beautiful! I think I'd call her "Miss Birdie Boo" if she were mine. You have inspired me to make one for my pumpkin/broom corn patch!
R~Mary
How about "Overall Olivia"? She looks so cute--you are creative!!
For some unknown reason the name Amelia came to mind.She is a beautiful scarecrow.Linda From Maine
I just love your scarecrow! Everyone's names sound so great! You are going to have fun picking the name! blessings, Kathleen
I love scarecrows, and yours is adorable. My four-year-old granddaughter gave this name to one of the Fisher Price little people she plays with at my house. The name is "Fionna Dabella." I have no idea how she came up with that name, but it seems like a good name for a scarecrow, too.
Have a wonderful week!
Hi Lea,
You're going to have a hard time choosing names! Since everyone seems to be referring to her as Miss Bunny, and her job is to scare rabbits away, I think her name should be Miss Booboo Bunny or Miss Shoo!shoo! Bunny. I can't decide which one is cuter. What to you think?
Patricia :o)
PS: I just added your Bunny Giveaway to my blog. Come on over to see how cute he looks on there.
Patricia :o)
She's a wonderful scarecrow, wearing a lovely little apron. Why not keep it simple and Biblical? Just call her Eve.
She is adorable Lea! I think a nice, dignified, country name for her is, Miss Henrietta. :)
You are so talented!!! :)
Sounds like you are having tons of fun! :)
Blessings!
Hi Lea, I would love to have a chance to win that cute little bunny, he'll fit in fine with my country den. The name I'm picking for your scarecrow is Maggie Belle. Deb
How about Gertrude. You can call her Gerty for short. There is just something about that name!! I love it!
Carolyn
Hello! Just found you and love your blog!
I think her name should be "Sissy Scarealot"
Blessings
Linda
She is adorable! everyone has come up with the cutest names, how about Ms. Gaurding de patch.
My suggestion for a name is "Tootie" - because she's a cutie!
Please enter me in your scarecrow contest, I think a good name for her is "Tilly" as in time to Till the soil in the garden!

Your scarecrow is such a beautiful darling. I have been thinking of doing the same thing for my garden. You were all the inspiration I needed to proceed ahead. I would have never thought of putting a apron on her. I love that idea.
I think Mrs. McGregor, from the Peter Cottontail story, would be a nice name for her. She is beautiful and sweet natured looking. I have been working so hard in my garden this year, trying to get it all fenced in and I keep thinking as I'm working, that my garden looks like Mr. McGregor's garden.
How adorable!! She may guard your garden - but she'll charm visitors. How about Ms. Wigglesworth?
Judy
Hi, what a cute scarecrow. When I first saw her, the name that immediately appeared in my head was "Ellie May"....kinda old fashion southern girl.
Love, Ann
oh, so cute!! how about "Miss Beatrix"? Thinking of the Peter Rabbit series. :o)
I love it!! My choice is to honor our Queen Bee and name her "MaryJane"! LOL
I swear she looks like "Minnie Pearl'-from Hee-Haw with that hat on!
~Amy Beth
Cute Scarecrow. Love her apron.
How about naming her Ms. Matilda.
Irma :)
I would name her Eula Belle. My mom's name is Eula, and her cousin's name is Belle. They both get called Eula Belle at times. I always loved the country sound of that name.
I thought I'd already posted here this morning, but I don't see my post. If by chance I did post twice, please excuse (and delete) one. :-)
Hey Lea, I posted my suggestion for a name--Miss Pickins--earlier. Not sure it went through! But I wanted you to know I added your giveaway to my blog!
I've been talking about you! :)

Hi, Lea. I found you through Cora, my long time friend. I'm new to blogging, but love "meeting" new people with similar interests. I think your scarecrow might be a country girl and could be named Jerusha Bell.
I'll be visiting you again for sure.
Cheryl
Hi Lea,
Guess what?! You’ve been tagged. I love your blog and thought it would be great to share it with others. Visit my "Tagged..." blog for details where your blog is promoted.

I think the "scariest" Bible name for a girl that I can think of is Jezebel. How about Jezebella? Thank you for your precious blog.
Hello Sweet Lea! I think her name should be 'Dorothy'... like THE Dorothy from Kansas..she was a farmgirl! Your bunny is sooo cute. You did a beautiful job on her! I'd love to win her! Hugz...Penny
I am going with Miss Grace; I don't know - maybe her presence (& the lack of the crows) will remind you of God's grace!?!?!
Adorable scarecrow-even more adorable bunny!
Hmm..I'm not feelin to creative but how bout Brunhilda- we name everything we can't think of a name for that. Bad,huh?
She's adorable! I'll go with "Lady Bird."
teamjones5[at]yahoo[dot]com
How about "Penny"... as in.. you're in the garden... planting away... and she stands there watching you - all the while wondering what you're thinking... "A penny for your thoughts".
Random, I know...!
I love her and want one!!!!! How about Miss LuLu? I don't have a blog, but want one real soon.
I love her and want one!!!!! How about Miss LuLu? I don't have a blog, but want one real soon.
I think that Miss Trudy would be a nice name for your lady. She is so adorable with her apron and sun hat! Even if she doesn't scare the bunnies, she'll be lots of fun to have in your garden.
Your homemade bunny is so wonderful!
Thanks for the precious giveaway!
Blessings,
Nancy
hi! I just found you throu Katerpillar's blog :) how about Constance, then you could call her Connie the Carrot Keeper (I wish you could spell keeper with a c, but it would sound like seeper)
Maybee someone already said this but how about Miss Betsie. I've never meet a Betsie I didn't like. I love the cute bunny rabit.
I am so making a scarecrow early this year!! Yours is so sweet. How about calling her Miss Potter?
