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. …
Repurposed Pumpkins
I know…, it’s at least 90 degrees outside, and I am talking about pumpkins. But, I’m going to a craft show the end of September, so I need to start thinking fall. My repurposed pumpkin is made from the drawer of a little chest I kept in the closet to hold craft supplies. But, after moving…
Rusty Bird Cage Garden Decor
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…

Using Ladders in the Garden
Last spring, one of the local antique shops in town was closing it’s doors. A half price sale was all I needed to head down and take a look. This little ladder with the painted, screwed on box, was obviously destined to be used in the bathroom, but not quite my style. But, at 10 dollars…
Mailbox Planters
I’ve been looking for one of those large old mailboxes for quite a while. I was leaving a local junk store, when a friend who has a booth there was unloading her car from a recent estate sale. I spotted it! This old black mailbox! And what a bargain, only $5.00. I grabbed it up, loaded…
Bicycles in the Garden
I have this old black bicycle that has been moved everywhere. That’s not an easy feat considering the tires are flat and rotted! I paid $15.00 for the bicycle, and it has been painted two or three colors. I believe it’s current home under the pine tree at the side of my driveway will be…
Must Haves For a Flea Market Garden
I don’t apologize for liking junk, and yes, I do brake for junk on the side of the road! What makes us like certain things? I liked junk before junking was cool. Magazines with well manicured lawns, and perfectly planned gardens are thrown to the side while I grab the latest Flea Market Garden to…
Don’t Throw That Away, I can Use It In the Garden!
This bottom of a wheelbarrow was given to me by my friend Sandra, and I screwed the tub on. Plans were to fill it with lantana, but I have now decided to place a big fern in it, to add interest under an oak tree. I was out in the garden yesterday and I thought…
Garden Thrift Store Finds
My mother and I go to the Salvation Army Thrift Stores as well as the Goodwill stores about once a week. I love finding a bargain, and look for garden related items each time. Here are two of my latest finds. The cost $1.00 each. The book is the 1958 Farm, Ranch, and Home Ford…
