DIY Rusty Bedspring Snowman Craft

December 15, 2019 By Karen Creel

A DIY Craft Using Rusty Bedsprings

I can’t take credit for this rusty bedspring craft, but when I saw this snowman idea on Rusted Roots Blog on Instagram, I knew I wanted to give it a try.  I had all the supplies here, and could whip one up easily.  Unlike Christmas decor, snowmen can be left out all winter.  So when…

DIY House Vent Pumpkin

September 18, 2015 By Karen Creel

Use an old vent to create a one of a kind DIY House Vent Pumpkin

I bought this old vent at an estate last year and intended to place it in my garden.  It sat in the storage unit until one of my FB friends sent me a picture of an old vent painted like a pumpkin.  Woo hoo!  A project for my front yard fall décor.  A DIY House Vent…

Fall BlogHop

August 13, 2015 By Karen Creel

I was sitting on my back deck early in the morning a few days ago. I have to go out early, or by 9:00 the humidity and heat will run you back in to the air conditioner. A breeze was blowing and as I enjoyed my morning coffee I noticed the leaves were falling from…

July 13, 2015 By Karen Creel

When it’s too hot to garden (95 sweltering degrees) what do you go? Go shopping! After a trip to Lowes to look for flooring and deck stain, my husband and I decided to stop in at a local antique mall. Aisle after aisle of overpriced stuff, I was ready to leave when my eye spotted…

Create A Bar Room Brawl: Over this Bar Stool Makeover

July 6, 2015 By Karen Creel

Why do you bring this stuff home? Have you ever heard that from a family member? Because they were inexpensive,  an I think they deserve a bar stool makeover. I love a project and these stools were perfect.   They were found at a local thrift store for 10.00 each and I have had them stored away…

Metal Chicken Makeover

March 22, 2015 By Karen Creel

A friend called and said she was “downsizing” some of her junk, making room for a classroom in her little log shed, where she was teaching sewing.  This is her “sewing bees” sign in front. She wanted to know if I would like to come and take a look. Of course! She has great garden junk…

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.
