Using Flea Market Finds In The Garden

July 15, 2019 By Karen Creel

Do you love flea markets as much as I do?  I decorate my house with a lot of my finds, but  what I like even more is using a little creativity and see how I can use my flea market finds in the garden.   I have a few flea market finds that are my favorites. …

Rusty Bird Cage Garden Decor

August 16, 2016 By Karen Creel

I bought an old rusty bird cage years ago at the 450 mile yard sale. I think I paid $5.00 for it and brought it home. It’s been sitting in my yard, back in the woods where I often store my rusty finds. I found it the other day while I was cleaning around my…

Is It Fall Yet?

September 12, 2009 By Karen Creel

Is it Fall Yet? I can’t wait, so  I purchased some outdoor furniture covers for the patio and then started my decorations early. I like to create little “vignettes” with some of my favorite junk. This old black bicycle sat under a tree all summer with nothing on it, just waiting for me to dress…

A Quick Note…

Gardenchick is a place for gardeners, flea market fanatics, lovers of the farmhouse look, and purveyors of all things rusty!

I’m not sure when my fascination with junk began, but gardening was in my blood from an early age.  I remember my grandmother could throw a few seeds out and have the prettiest flowers.  Sweet peas were rampant beside the front porch.  I can see her now, bent over pulling weeds, and I find myself doing the same thing anytime I’m in the yard.  My dad was raised on a large farm, and even though he moved away, and we always lived in the city, he had a garden.  He had me help him  plant a garden in May before he died in August.  So you can see, gardening just comes naturally to me.

I can’t explain the love of rusty and all things chippy, but I have dug through more barns and sheds than I would like to admit to bring out a rusty wagon or old chicken feeder.

So, I hope you will follow along, and we can learn a few things together.  I’ll be sharing gardening ideas, my flea market finds, and thrifty ways to repurpose.
