Yesterdays Junque haul

I love the little junque shops in the little town we visited yesterday. All the prices are really reasonable, the notebook was $10 and everything else was under $4 each.

We did go to the newly found u-pick-lavender farm, picked two bundles each and man did the car smell wonderful the rest of the day

Two old chicken feeders that will become hanging birdfeeders....yeah, they are 'bird' feeders either way Wink

When I am digging up weeds/grass to make a new bed, the soil is so hard I can't get it off the roots so I now have this to wash the soil off. Saving my soil and making the refuse bags lighter weight.

I have a barsink with a brass coating that Randy will be making into a wash stand out in the garden for me. This soap dish is wrought iron with a brass looking coating that will sit beside the sink.

Just had to have this cutie to hang on the trellis out front.

I guess I do collect watering cans. ( photo / image / picture from toni's Garden )

Don't know what the maker of this piece had in mind for it's future use, but I will use it to hang some herbs from for drying....

Here it is hanging in it's new home...

I can't see me ever taking the Master Gardener course, I just couldn't do the volunteer community service in the Texas summer heat, but now I have the notebook to learn from....

Almost forgot the cutest one, a milk glass type pot to use as a votive candle holder.

Thanks all.
I really love those chicken feeders, have been wanting one of the long ones for years but most places think they are made of gold or some other precious metal and price them accordingly...waaaaaay out of my price range. But those were $3 each and 30% off. I really don't have tree limbs where I want to put them so I think the long one will be attached to one of the fence panels and the small one will be attached to the top of a pole stuck in the ground.

When the guy at the counter rang up the hanging metal whateveritis, he asked if I was going to use it for drying herbs...we pondered what it really was for a while but no one had any ideas.

I'm really looking forward to having the sink up out back where I can use the soapdish
