You can never have enough junk….or can you? When you have to rent a storage building, I think you have to face it. You may be a hoarder. I have collected lots of “treasures” over the years. Some for my use, and others to stock various booths I have had, and to take to garden shows…
Flea Market Finds and an Etsy Shop
Boston Ferns
I have a huge sunny backyard and a lot of sun loving plants. But I love Boston Ferns, and have found a few places to work them into my garden and covered deck. This is an old coke cooler (complete with bottle opener), that I bought at a local junk sale last fall. …
Watermelon Mason Jars
There are a lot of neat mason jar crafts out there, but it’s really not my thing….until now. As I was looking around pinterest, I saw a number of watermelon jars. To me, watermelons signal the first days of summer and I thought they would look great on my deck that I am redecorating…

A Weekend of Weeding
How did you spend your weekend? Two weeks of rain everyday and temperatures in the 80’s, this is how I spent mine.
Troll Doll Succulents
I enjoy going to flea markets and junk stores always looking for something new to add to my vintage garden collection. I recently went into a little antique/junk store that was going out of business and found these vintage troll dolls that were only $1 so I purchased several. Only a gardener would see this…
Buckets of Flowers
I love galvanized buckets, and pick them up on my flea market trips when I can get them for a reasonable price. I never pay over $10.00 for them, and most are $5.00 to $8.00. I brought them out of the storage building Saturday and planted a few to place in my yard. I love…
