Garden Shop Countdown

April 19, 2007 By Karen Creel

Opening day for the shop is May 5th and there is lots of work to do. Shopping bags, and inventory, paint two walls, a door, and plan for our open house. Tomorrow I am off from my “real job” as a nurse, and already my to do list is growing ever longer.

Here’s a picture of our shop logo.

Beautiful logo — so inviting.

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.
