The little bench planter is going to be used to hold the fairy garden and the chair has a desk to go with it. The desk desperately needs to be stripped and painted then it will go in the little ones bedroom someday.
The fun part is the chair legs match the legs on her bed and the applique is very similar to the one I used. My mom had to take the desk home with her because I ran out of room. I bought a rocking wicker loveseat for the front porch that took up most of my trunk. When I find a cushion for it I'll share a picture of my $25.00 find.
Both of our cars were filled with goodies.
Here is a peek of the fairy garden plants and accessories I bought this weekend. The planter is pretty rusty so that needs to be painted too. I can't wait to start putting this together!
And finally, some old jars that I will use as candle holders for outside and an old locker basket. I have always wanted one, now what will I do with it?

Thanks for stopping by my blog! I love all of your finds! I now need to make my girls a fairy garden....so fun!!! They would love it! I love the locker basket too. I have always wanted one but never really knew the perfect thing to use it for...sorry I am no help! Have a blessed week!:)
ReplyDeleteya done good honey .. love it all!!
ReplyDeleteDon't cha just love yard sales and flea markets? LOL We've been known to get the entire family up at 5am and head out to hunt. Love the bench planter, and I'm sure the desk will be beautiful when it's done. I found the most gorgeous Bentwood rocker years ago at an old couple's yard sale....for $20!! I had it for YEARS!
ReplyDeleteWOW...that's amazing. Love the chair. And the locker basket. I can't wait to see the bench in the fairy garden!!

I love all of your bargains!!!! I want a locker basket too! I was in Hillsville, VA last year for their big town yard sale and there was a man there selling them for $14.00 a piece. I kinda thought that was steep. Did you get a good deal on yours?
ReplyDeleteyou found some awesome items! i love those old locker baskets- i have one as well and used it on a shelf to store unsightlies. i need to go read about your fairy garden- i want to make one for my daughter, but have NO idea where to start! i would love your input!
ReplyDeleteJennifer,
ReplyDeleteI got a great deal on my locker basket, it was $3.00!
I love your locker basket! I would love it for magazines. I'd also love it empty - something very sculptural about it. Dying to know which flea...
ReplyDeleteThanks Marija,
ReplyDeleteWe were at the Kane County flea market in St Charles. Most of my finds were from the amazing garage sales that day.
