For 3 weeks my husband and I took off from California and went pickin' in 13 states. It was so much fun. I am amazed how friendly people are and so willing to invite strangers in their home to look through their stuff! I do have to say, my favorite was in Kentucky for their 400 Mile Garage Sale. They have this every year along Hwy 68.
I found so many things, but for now I am going to share with you some cute garden decorations. I picked up the items during my pickin' and just bought the flowers at home. These ideas are all under $10, including the flowers.
I bought a vintage rusty chicken feed tray. I put some .25 cents plates in it, filled with dirt and planted some annual flowers. It is hung on my fence to my chicken coop.
This is a vintage chicken waterer. I planted flowers along the water tub area and hung it on a rusty old hanger.
I am hooking up today with Beverly at How Sweet the Sound for Pink Saturday.
