Little Red Wagons

August 3, 2015 By Karen Creel

The little red wagon, which is usually good for tidying up in the garden, hauling plants, mulch,  water, and kids, has taken on a new life.  Even with the wheels missing, they can be repurposed and find a place in the home and garden.

This small red wagon found at a yard sale was a steal at $3.00.  It’s currently holding some supplies for a barbeque.

My  little “on the wagon” sits on the desk in my office. I think it was originally used to hold a drink because it has a cork coaster in it.  Now it’s holding a little gnome and push pins.  I’ve used it to hold business cards at craft shows, and it’s the perfect size.

This wagon is my favorite.  A few years ago my husband and granddaughters took this wagon base and made a table to put it on.  It holds hens and chicks under the dogwood tree.

And this little wagon is running over with succulents.

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.
