Spring is finally on its way and that means its time to get started working on the flower beds, yard decor and other outside fun. I love this time of year and really enjoy adding character/personality to our yard. I love flowers and this is the first year I have a decent flower bed perfect for planting! Since we live on the main entrance into housing, right on the corner, our house is noticed quite a bit. That means I get to have fun adding unique little personalized touches to really make us stand out. Flags, gazing balls, bird feeders, cute lawn decor and especially wind chimes!
I love opening up the windows and letting fresh air in the house and I love the sound of wind chimes in the gentle breeze. Wind chimes are so calming and such a beautiful sound; ever since Abby was little she has adored wind chimes. The Pediatrician that sees Abby even has wind chimes in every exam room as a way to entertain the little ones and help keep them calm.
When I was given the opportunity to work with Plow & Hearth on a review, I was excited to look through all the wonderful items they offer. Plow & Hearth offers fantastic items for your home, yard and garden, even footwear! I was especially thrilled with the yard and garden selection!
I discovered an amazing selection of Wind Chimes and was delighted at the opportunity to review one. I knew Abby would love it! I chose the Gazing Ball Wind Chime:
The wind chimes arrived and Abby was overly curious about what was in the box. I was impressed with the sound of the wind chimes, this one is definitely not one of those that make the light, high pitched sound. No, this one has a calming, melodious sound. Its hard to describe so I made a short recording so you can hear it (this is my very first time posting a video so fingers crossed it works! lol and yes, that’s Abby at the end, quite unhappy because her dada wouldn’t let her come outside with me)
The Gazing Ball Wind Chime would make a wonderful addition to any home’s yard/garden!
Win it: Plow & Hearth has generously offered a Gazing Ball Wind Chime to one lucky reader.

Garden Accents(such as sculptures, birdbaths and stones) help draw the eye to a specific place in the garden. They help highlight a pretty plant and make your yard feel like an extension of your home.
Another factor that can alter the sound produced is what it is made from. Wind chimes tend to be made from wood or metal, however glass, shell, bamboo and stone have been used. Each material can create an individual sound which is distinctly different from the other. Glass and acrylic can be used in addition to create the extra features such as animals or other shapes or designs.
