    Turn this over, set it on the floor and you have a CD rack. Turn it upside down in the garden and your have a trellis and plant stand. I planted two Morning Glories, one red and one blue, at the base and put a pot of red Geraniums on the top.

    This is the cutest little table. After I put some sealer on it, I will find just the right place for it in the front garden.

    This used to have blades on the end to the right so that the wind could blow them around and the lady would be watering plants. It may or may not get new blades but it will be in the garden until then.

    You're so inventive and so good at finding nice junque. :D I really like the CD-stand that isn't one anymore idea.

    You certainly do Toni and I would love to be there too when you go junque shopping. The upside down CD rack is perfect for climbers and will look even better once those Morning Glories grow up it. Are you going to put a plant on that adorable little table too when you put it outside?

    Some visits to our favorite thrift store turn up nothing or very little but the ones with goodies like these do tend to make up for the unsuccessful visits.

    I haven't yet decided what to put on that little table but am leaning towards a trailing plant of some sort. I have a red Verbena that needs to be repotted, that might be just the place for it.

    I love it, especially that little table. Lot's of creativeness there, Toni.
