My Top Five Vintage Finds of 2013
December 27, 2013
Without a doubt my top four finds from 2013 were items I found for my junk gardens!
1. What Have I Bought Lately? (posted June 3, 2013)
I bought this awesome barn door from a local antique/consignment shop owner for $30. Worth every penny and more.
I used my barn door in a neutral vignette under a tree here.
2. A New Potting Bench (posted April 11, 2013)
It was love at first sight! I couldn't get it off of my mind, and bought it the very next day.
This potting sink/bench that I purchased in the spring of 2013 inspired me to put together this whimsical outdoor kitchen vignette.
3. A Good Day Consignment Shopping (posted April 6, 2013)
This wringer was drastically reduced in price one day at a local occasional shop, and I snatched it up for my laundry tub planters.
I think the wringer was a perfect garden accessory!
4. Backdrops for a Country Cottage Junk Garden (posted July 29, 2013)
A $20 junky chain link gate was Top Vintage Find Number 4.
The old gate was perfect for a fall trio of junk pumpkins as well!
5. Junkers United with a Junk Gallery Wall (posted October 15, 2013)
This old wooden box with chippy red and green paint first appeared on a bench in front of a sofa in my junk gallery wall post.
But it stole the show here in my junky rustic outdoor Christmas vignette.

I can't wait to get back to the hunt for more great junk in 2014! Still on a semi-blogging break here, and planning to read Mrs. Kennedy & Me.

I love that 3 of your top finds you got from me!!!! I will looking for treasures for you..:)
ReplyDeleteI am inspired! I know the pieces I like, but I don't put things together in such a beautiful way as you do. Practice, I guess. Happy hunting in 2014!!
ReplyDeleteLove the barn door (I bought one too). I also love the gate and am on the look out for one for my fireplace. Thrifting is so much fun and I love that you get it.
ReplyDeleteA wonderful post on your fabulous finds...and the stealer of the show is your talent of putting things together. :)
ReplyDeleteI want to read that book, too! Always fascinated by the Kennedys, especially Jackie. I might have to get it for myself for my birthday Jan. 6! Love your junky creations, too, of course! : )
ReplyDeleteI always enjoy your finds and this year you really hit the jackpot on some! I think my favorite is the potting bench/sink!!!
ReplyDeleteI enjoy the way you put things together. Great talent.
ReplyDeleteThe finds are amazing... but it's what you do to them to make them sing blows me away. Gorgeous! You've had a great year!
