One of my summer time junk plantings

13 years ago

This is one of my many groups of plants and "stuff"...and the high chair I swiped from the curb a couple of weeks ago. Didn't repaint it yet, but it's on the list!

I have a metal cage just like your blue/purple one. I have it hanging from a shepards hook in my garden. I set a potted plant in it in the summertime. Mine is brown. I like that blue, hummmm.

It fills that little nook perfectly, is that a washer tub with the iron thingy in it? I like the pop of purple and boy was that high chair a find. Thanks for sharing.

I think halfway in between...allowing people to shop those garage sales in nicer weather for finds. :o) Not sure if we can do it this year...tightened up our budget since Carol resigned her library position to be a full-time Mom. :o) We'll have to wait an see. :o) Thanks for volunteering to organize this! Having started the Secret Santa Exchange and Gardyloo, it's sooo rewarding! Bear Hugs! Kirk

Only two weeks left to sign up. In my first post suggesting the idea, some people said they would like to be included in the summer junk exchange but haven't sent us their information yet. No pressure... we just want to make sure we include everyone who wants to be a part of the summer junk exchange. So, sign up by May 1st...and the junking will begin! This is going to be so much FUN! Bear Hugs! Kirk and Carol

Thanks, Maggie, I love it too! This is actually my second fence. Be sure to check my page and go to my Blog to see the first. I am making more plans for it, I like to change things every year, usually add new and move the old and use it another way or another place. I am so glad to meet everyone here. I am now looking for glass to make a totem, I may even try some bowling ball lady bugs....You all have great imaginations!!! twomonths...I have posted pics of my chairs on my Blog. Check my page for a link. The answer to your question....Both paint and plant... LOL Thanks to the rest for the compliments, Makes me want to get busy.....Planting More Junk!!!

That is a beautiful vignette. I like the high chair just the way it is, stands out nicely against the white porch.
And of course the PURPLE cage thing...be still my heart.
LOL.
The view in the backgroud is absolutely gorgeous. I could happily sit on your porch for hours with a glass of ice tea.

hugs, Karen who's having serious Porch Envy!

Your high chair was an awesome find. It looks great on the porch with the rest of your vignette. I think it looks great the way it is or painted. I love robins egg blue and purple chairs in the garden. I see you found a spot for Humpty-Dumpty too! From what I can see of your yard, it is gorgeous!
