So I had time on the weekend to do a little relaxin’…but instead I decided to do a little junkin’ with a friend. It was WAY too warm outside to do any yard work…but it was perfect to head out on a hunt!
It was a great day! Let me show you some of what I found!
I got this old rocking chair for a steal! I think she will sit outside on the patio for me to sit and admire my flowers from!
I was excited to get this pedestal. It is solid concrete and weights a tonne!!! I think it may just stay sitting on that dolly for the summer. Haha. The lady said she paid $129.00 for it last summer.
This is my favorite find! I got this concrete bird bath for next to nothing! In a garden center this piece would run at least $100 or more! The people were moving and didn’t want to take these things with them. They were practically giving them away. I have always wanted a solid and ornate birdbath…and this is perfect!
Where did I put all my treasures???
Well the chair and the pedestal found a home on the patio just beside the stairs to the sunroom. I love it in this spot. It is the first area to get shade in the daytime!
I also decided to leave the pedestal where it is…they look good together. I have always wanted a rocking chair for my gardens…I think it’s perfect!
I had a couple of resin doves sitting in the greenhouse…I think they compliment my birdbath enough to sit on there! The little birds have made a home in my vines on the front of the house…the least I can do is give them some accommodation! haha
I think it will just sit on the cement for this year. The beds are looking quite full…and I don’t really want to mess with them right now.
I think it looks okay (for now anyways!)
I am going to close with a few shots of my yard today.
….finally….
this is the sky over my house at 7PM on Monday evening.
Until next time….Happy Junkin’!

That sky is seriously scary looking.
I'm stopping by from An Oregon Cottage.
Now, your finds are amazing! These lovely pieces could never have found a more perfect place to live; they just fit in your spectacular gardens. Love your flower display, what variety of petunia do you have in the hanging baskets? Their colors are amazing.
Hope the weather turns nicer soon, we're the same here, hot, hot and more hot.

Poor Lavender HIll is just about all shade and when I even get a couple of buds on the impatiens, the squirrels eat them !!!!!
So, I come here to admire (and drool!),
