MY WEEKEND FINDS

Thanks for tuning in to another episode of My Weekend Finds, the continuing saga of one girl's quest for more junk!~~~~~~~I've been hard at work in the gardens, but I've put down my hoe and taken off my gardening gloves long enough to share some of my recent finds! 

Sam, my favorite uncle! I can get away with saying that because sadly I no longer have any living uncles. They're both banks, and were only $1 each. And although I know that the lid on that picnic tin is supposed to match the rest of the tin, it's a red, white and blue picnic tin for Pete's sake. Had to have it!

It's extremely hard for me to walk past a vintage etched mirror without buying it, and since this one was only $2, it seemed OK to bring it home. As you know, we live in a very small house, so wall space is limited. I bought the mirror having no clue where it was going to go, and in the end it landed up there above the bookcase picnic tin holder.

I think this might be the tiniest watering can I've ever seen. It's the size of a can of tomato paste, and I'm batty over it!

A concrete gnome nestling among the wheelbarrow full of hostas that need to be planted.

I want to give this purple martin house a whitewashing, and then a coat of varnish. Hopefully the bees won't take it over like they did the last one I had!

A child's shovel, broom and pink hoe, along with a pair of red garden shears and an old red dust pan.

That rusty pole to the right used to hold a gas lamp, but now it's got a vintage planter hanging on it.

I know these owl lights are meant to be summer patio decor, but they are SO going to be part of the Halloween decorations over here!

And speaking of Halloween, I found not one but two Relpo light up JOLs and that blow mold, with it's original sticker. I've got alot of that type of blow mold and should have passed it up, but that sticker really did it for me!

And last is an old Christmas bell decoration with awesome tacky flowers and an aqua Holiday thermos. I'd been hoping to find one for awhile, and it will be part of the winter/Christmas decorations on the porch. ~~~~~~~~~~~I hope everyone is enjoying their summer! I plan to do alot of bloggy catching up this week, but now I need to go back outside and play in the dirt. I'll be back in a few days to share some patriotic decorations and wish everyone a Happy 4th of July!
