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…

Christmas Display Using Flea Market Finds

December 11, 2015 By Karen Creel

I cleaned up my office and redecorated to get me in the mood for a New Year of moving toward my goal of creating my dream business. (More about that later) I like to be surrounded by the things I love. I gathered up some of my favorite things to create a display on my…

Garden Gates

June 25, 2015 By Karen Creel

Some gates are made to keep you out, and others to keep you in. Then there are those that were made to decorate with! My junking friend Sandra has several of the old metal gates.  These two separate her little patio from the side yard and shed.  This old watering trough makes a great focal…

Garden Purse

June 23, 2015 By Karen Creel

I bought this straw purse at a local thrift store a few months ago and put it back in my storage closet. I was in a cleaning mood today, and found it along with a pair of pink polka dot gardening gloves. They were perfect together. A close up shows embroidered flowers and a watering…

Flea Market Finds and an Etsy Shop

June 12, 2015 By Karen Creel

You can never have enough junk….or can you?  When you have to rent a storage building, I think you have to face it.  You may be a hoarder.  I have collected lots of “treasures” over the years.  Some for my use, and others to stock various booths I have had, and to take to garden shows…

Decorate Your Home with Flea Market Finds

February 10, 2015 By Karen Creel

It’s still too cold to start my gardening, even though we have been teased with some spring like weather. So, instead of heading to the garden shop, I headed to my stash of flea market finds to decorate my dining room cabinet.  We had recently repainted, and I wanted to add some new things to…

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.
