Early Saturday morning, this is where I found myself…
… at our town-wide flea market (at least a half hour before it was officially open).
I made my first score within 5 minutes.
Chairs were not on my radar, but when I saw these, I found myself handing over the money in a daze. I mean, you can’t walk by a chair that costs $5.00… can you? And the nice gentleman who sold them to me helped carry them to my vehicle. Small town perks. My day was off to a great start.
I feel a chalk paint project coming on…
I did buy a few other things, but because one is so outlandish and rusty, I’m too embarrassed to reveal it. But I do have a plan.
So for now, I ‘m showing you this glorious clematis. Every year I have to replace this plant… it never makes it through our winter.
And here’s my lovely herb garden. It’s coming along splendidly, wouldn’t you say? I picked up some basil which I now need to transplant into some rusty tool box, or pail, or something…
I have some work to do inside this morning, and after that, it’s out to the garden, my little piece of heaven on earth.
I have planting, and weeding, and feeding to do. The plants will benefit from all the attention, but not as much, I think, as I will.

Wow! I’ve been looking for an old chair to cherish! Stunning images and it looks like you had a fun outing. The thunderstorm has passed so I’d better take a peak at my garden as well. Have a wonderful week!

I love those chairs and 5 dollars ~ that is a steal!! Everything is looking so green and lush ~ finally after the long cold winter. I have never had an issue with my clematis but I am zone 5A. :)

Wow, I’d have definitely purchased those chairs and I can’t wait to see the other item you talk about and what you do with it! Suspense!
Your herb garden is sooooo adorable! LOVE it!
