Summer finds - planters

It was so hot all summer I didn't do much but read. I did manage a few flea markets and garage sales and will share them over the next days (or weeks)

Some of my summer finds:

Great Planters!

Garage Sale

On our way home from the Church BBQ on Sunday we saw a "Junk Sale" sign and had to investigate.Here is what we bought:

A small green 6 drawer unit, 2 plant holders a metal pointy thing and DH bought the plastic jug.

I had fun putting things on the tall green shelf unit.

Not sure what to do with this plant stand yet. Just hung it on the wall for now.

It was only $3.00 so I had to grab it.

I put the drawer unit on my island with the metal piece at one end.

Not sure what it is, the point comes off. Maybe the top decoration of a copula, a garden ornament? 

Anybody have any ideas?

Garden Party

Our local Lioness had a Garden Luncheon today and it was a lot of fun. They had a demonstration by a lady from a local garden centre who showed us some new annuals for this year. She was an excellent speaker and it was very enjoyable. Afterwards she sold the plants and I bought a pot called Trixi which means 3 plants in one pot. Mine was called Blueberry Parfait and contains Bacopa Big Pearl Falls, Calibrachoa MiniFamous Lavender Blue and Verbena Lascar Light pink. I am keeping it indoors at night as they are calling for -5°C tonight.

Cardinals

Look who came to visit us today a pair of Cardinals!  Sorry for the blurry pictures but they were taken through the screen door. I do hope they are nesting near by.

Crib Couch

I left home yesterday at 8:30 am for work and got home today at noon! After work we went to see Gordon Lightfoot at the Casino and stayed overnight. It was a nice break and a great show.

Above are photos of the old crib I use on our covered porch. The quilt I used on the seat is a very old worn quilt I picked up. The pillows and the Cat Lap Quilt were all made by me.

 

You can see what we did with the missing side of the crib on my March 27 post Blue Jars and Crib

Spring Door

Finally a Spring decoration for the back door. I am linking with AKA Designs at:

Spring Yard

The blue flowers have lasted a long time this year due to the cooler weather. The front and back yard are carpeted with them and they look lovely. There are also a few spring violets peaking through.

Patch Pillow

Pillow cover I just finished making

Shopping Again

We went back to Peterborough today so I could get more tea towels to make kitchen curtains and of course we found some more treasures. The birds were on at Home-Ology for half price and I got the Easter bunny at the dollar store. JYSK is responsible for the candles and Tea boxes aren't they cute?

The plant hangers ( I got 2) came from Gerri's  Arts and Crafts.

I am getting quite a bird collection. Now I have six.
