Last weekend I remembered it was the 3rd weekend of the month and that a town a few miles away would be having their flea/antique market. I was trying not to go, but.....oh how I wanted to. So I gave myself a $60 limit and headed out.
Here is what all I got for the money!
The other things I will save for some other posts. I was happy to find some really good buys. In times I have gone and there would not be one buy under $30.
Here is what we are going to look at today...because I am ready to garden and get my garden cottage cleaned up.
I was thrilled to find one booth that sold nothing but vintage garden items. I could of bought out the entire booth...but I restrained myself!
I like sprinklers and when I saw this I thought of my Mom. She sometimes would talk about someone being hyper and would say "they were running around like a whirling dervish". Not sure if I really knew what that meant until I saw this. Now it makes me think of my Mom and it puts a smile on my face.
I collect these tiny flower pots...I don't think there is anyway you could use them? I have one that was my Grandmothers, hers is yellow.
Did you notice the seed packets?
Check out the dates!
They will be displayed on this when I get it home............
My seed packet stand.
They had several sprayers, but I went with the Ortho one.
I can never pass up green tools.
And a tray.
love the flowers!

What allot of wonderful garden treasures! Have a great weekend..here's hoping Spring arrives next week.
Wow! Great finds. That Ortho sprayer is pretty cool.
Wow -- what treasures you found! I, too, love old garden things!
I really love the old seed packets! My Mom collects old seed catalogs and I log browsing through them when I go to her house. Isn't it a shame that the illustrators were rarely, if ever, identified?
Ann, You found some really nice vintage things at the antique/flea market. I like to look at antique garden ornaments but usually find them priced well above my set limit too. I really like your shade garden in your header. The hostas are so full and lush and it looks like you have impatiens. They are a favorite "work horse" in my garden too. Thanks for leaving a comment on the pineapple sage. Have a great weekend.
Wow! You had a fun time with your $60, didn't you? I'm happy for you!
