Flea Market Friday

March 27, 2015 By Karen Creel

I receive a lot of comments on my Facebook page about my flea market garden creations, and people ask where I find all of my junk. So….I thought it would be fun to have “Flea Market Fridays” where I sell some of my smaller things. It will be like getting one of the Sampler Boxes that are so much fun.

My first flea market find box is herb gardening themed. It includes a little bucket, vintage strainer with a blue handle, a vintage salt shaker chef, 2 rusty keys to decorate the handle (or to use on other projects), corks, and picks to make herb marker(s), and a rusty spring for good measure.

Cost: 15.oo plus 5.95 shipping. U.S. East Coast. Mountain States and West Coast 9.00

You can purchase it on my etsy store.

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.
