Weekend Flea Finds

Greetings and Holykisses,

Before another day slips by;

I thought some of you might like to see a few  recent thrifty finds.

I always love it when my fellow junker bloggers  share what they come across, on their travels.

It's fun to see what other people like, and collect.  It's also  inspiring to learn new ways

to upcycle.  

 -- With that said;... here are a few things that came home with us
over the last two weekends.  .  

This little bunny picture is small and for 25 cents;

it now sits on a shelf in the shabby, olde, potting shed.  

Mrs. Potter and Brussel Sprout (our rabbits)
will  surely approve.  

Then there's this  pair of  wooden shoes.
I call em my woody clod-hoppers.
They  were a whoppin $5.00.  But I like them.

We found them while on a motorcycle ride.  

1 clod-hopper  for each saddle bag -on the ride home.  

I think the TOADS will love them with holes drilled through the bottoms,

and ... impatiens planted.   Once upon a time...

"There was a shabby  olde woman

 with 2 wooden shoes,

she had so many  toads, 

she didn't know what to do...."

- How about a  new piggy bank for Trento?

He accidentally broke his last wine bottle bank and asked me to look for another.  

You shoulda seen his smile when I gave this to him.   lol 

I smile all over just thinking of it!!   

Isn't it funny.. the things that tickle 

our fancies?   

This birdhouse is something Myguy found. 

--He really liked it!  

We hope the birds will too.
He found a few  wrenches  as well.  

Vintage birdcages are in so many magazines these days, and 

when I come across  one, they're always too much dough.

This weekend we found this cage and the price was right;  -- it's in  really good shape too.
It looks kind of Art Deco to me.. but I know nothing about them yet.
It still needs to be cleaned, but last night

 It became

inspiration for my very last page in my soul journal.   

I hadn't played in my art journal in so long.

The verse below will go on my final  page along with a picture of this very cage:

It is for freedom that Christ has set us free. Stand firm, then, and do not let yourselves be burdened again by a yoke of slavery. Galatians 5:1

(I'll try to start adding more  pictures under  my soul journal tab soon- and am now anxious 

to get another new watercolor book!) 

-- sorry for the ramble but just had to share that!  

Okay... two more to go:

Hang in there.

Then we found a Singer base!  

Funny- because I'd just "pinned" one on Pinterest.  It was painted 

white and I thought how cool it would be to have one in our garden.

I love the legs made into tables because they're nice and heavy,
and  the iron can  withstand the elements.  

When we bought this one, I thought I'd just lay painted turquoise boards across the top
 and leave the base rusty.  

I could already see  flower pots  on top.

But then...

We came across this sink.

Neither Mike nor I had  ever seen one ...this size before.

The two were a match.

They fit ..... snug as a bug

in a rug.. twogether

--A "Singer Sink."

Or ...sinked Singer?

Take your pick.

...I guess with a plug, it could be a bird bath.

Or a bird feeder.

How bout a plant stand.

Potters bench?

...A place to wash my dishes?

Or even wash the dogs?

Time will tell.  

:)

Last but not least...there was one other thing we found over the weekend but
I forgot to take a picture of it and we haven't got it home yet.
We found another antique iron bed!
A real oldie!
Too bad we didn't have the pickup because we  didn't have room.
Oh well; this gives me  more time to figure out
"where" to plant it and the one from the week before.  I'm starting to think I need to organize my
gardening chaos and begin getting my ducks (iron beds) all in a row.
I like the surprise of finding them scattered out back  in unexpected places, but
a row of them for raised beds is on my to do list.
Speakin of to do lists... it's time to get outdoors.

As always thanks for stoppin by the shed today.

If you have time, please share your latest finds with me as well!

Happy Junkin.
Oh happy day.
