PurpleTree Posted May 27, 2009 Share Posted May 27, 2009 For ages I've been wanting one of these http://www.ethicalsuperstore.com/products/namaste-uk/spotted-pig-ironwork-watering-can-(60493)/. I think it's really cool, but couldn't justify spending £20 on it. I keep going back regularly to look in the hope they've been reduced. But now look what they're selling http://www.ethicalsuperstore.com/products/namaste-uk/rooster-ironwork-watering-can-(60482)/ It's got such a happy expression on its face too. Don't know how long I'll last out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PurpleTree Posted May 27, 2009 Author Share Posted May 27, 2009 I've given hubby a hint i.e sent him the link to the product saying 'I want'. Do you think it'll work? I've wanted the pig one since last year and was going to ask for it for my birthday, in December, but they weren't stocking them over Winter It's our Wedding Anniversary in June though...

Space Chick Posted May 27, 2009 Share Posted May 27, 2009 Oh I like the Rooster Purple tree - I'm trying to set up a South Wales meet (and failing miserably!), would you be interested? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PurpleTree Posted May 27, 2009 Author Share Posted May 27, 2009 Yes if it's somewhere nearby - I don't have a car. Is there many of us here in wet, cold South Wales? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ms Marple Posted May 27, 2009 Share Posted May 27, 2009 I love them all. I am going to order one for my mum for her birthday in just over two weeks time. Thanks for the link and the idea. She is a gardener with everything!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PurpleTree Posted May 27, 2009 Author Share Posted May 27, 2009 I love them all. I am going to order one for my mum for her birthday in just over two weeks time. Thanks for the link and the idea. She is a gardener with everything!!! If you order now it's currently free delivery on orders over £10. It's one of my fave websites, bought quite a few things from them. My 'hint' to hubby seems to have worked, fingers crossed I'll get the Rooster for our Anniversary. Although I do still like the pig, might treat myself one day.

Ain't Nobody Here Posted May 27, 2009 Share Posted May 27, 2009 I'm still wavering . What size it is? I can't find any dimensions and it's hard to imagine how big or small it is . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PurpleTree Posted May 28, 2009 Author Share Posted May 28, 2009 I've just asked them a question about how big it is, I was wondering this last night too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chucky Mama Posted May 28, 2009 Share Posted May 28, 2009 Great! Now I want one too!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PurpleTree Posted May 29, 2009 Author Share Posted May 29, 2009 Had a reply to my question about it's size. Here's the answer The Rooster measures approx 34cm height x 8cm width x 30cm length (beak to tail). I hope this helps. Jo. So not enormous, but it does look nice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
