This is got to be similar to Heaven

I just returned from a fun time of junking and enjoying a road trip with a good friend, sooo hot ,but did not dampen our spirit,we started early and tried to catch the shade areas in later day.There was such a good selection of the thing we were looking for and plenty of other things we were not looking for but could not come home without. I found several new vendors that I conversed with that share the same junking passion.
Came home with some great little items that will be turned into some unique garden and home decor decorations,that will be for sale at our Fall festival (Autumn Joys in the Garden) date October 15 .We also sell at the November Arts and Craft show sponsored by our home town.This has been a busy two months of travel,work and all the other thing that come up in life,I hope to get some rest after October and maybe have time to work on the new magazine coming out in March .I will keep you posted on this new adventure.
So I will post a few more pictures, I hope you will enjoy and then I will get some much needed sleep,good night and happy junque gardening,Kathy.

pond fountain

Thought you  may enjoy this project ,fortunately we already had the pond ,so it was not a start from scratch project,you could also use an old bath tub for this project,just use your imagination. We started with an old garden gate which I decided to use blue for the primary color,we used metal clamps around the fence post and screwed them into the wood frame on the pond,next we layed our containers out ,you can use any old metal buckets holes are no problem because they do not hold any water,a watering can is great for the top.put your pump inside the pond and run the tubing up thru the bottom of the can (ours just happened to have a hole in the bottom) and out the spout. Stack your pans to look as if they are joined together and wire to the gate,some of ours are sitting on the side of the pond, plant with your favorite plants and enjoy.
