This is a new bird bath I purchased last year. I just added the farm piece over the top. I'm not sure what it was used for, but it's sure a cool piece!
What a better place to display your fan collection than your front porch! I also have a larger sign that says air conditioned. Just haven't found a place to hang it from yet! The bench an original from a Paris Park, is over 100 years old. How cool is that!
Isn't this a great green chair! I found it at an occasional sale. It fits perfect in my front garden. The cupola is another of my favorate finds.
Isn't this a great piece to hold a planter. Bet you can't guess what it used to be! Check the next picture . . .
It's a wheel axel from an old car. It's missing one of the sides and someone at one point painted it green. Ain't it neat!
I don't know what it is with me and fences, but I seem to have a few. Here's a couple of them. The feeders on the larger gate are great with candles. The smaller gate has a perfect place to hold planters.
Here's another of my favorite things, motel chairs. One I original purchased from the JunkMarket sales when they had them. The other I found at an antique store. Cool how they match! The table between them came from some factory. It has great patina!
Does this bag look familiar? Sue had it in Texas. Fell in love with it and convinced her to save it for me. I looks awesome on my front door. For guests, I just added a vase and some fresh flowers tucked inside of it.
This is a newer cart, but has weathered being outside. Love it that way. All I added was a large bird house created from architectual finds and a vintage coffee pot with flowers. The house numbers were purchased at a JM sale years ago, and when we moved replaced the numbers with our current ones.
Another old chicken feeder (do I seem to have a thing with chicken feeders, too??). Love the stenciling on it. It's also great with votives.
This was some sort of dispenser. I found the wash stand for it separately. It's a little on the rusty side so I wouldn't want to use it for beverages. It looks great with a plant in it though!
I found two of these wall sinks. They're perfect for window boxes on my shed!

This summer has been quite busy and needless to say I didn't get a very good start in getting my flower pots planted. So I thought maybe I'd go back into the archives of JMS and pull up a post from the summer of 2009! That way I can still enjoy my porch...at least what it looked like back in 2009! I hope you enjoy it, too!

Why not add a little junk to the yard. It's fun and gives your yard a lot of character. Make it a funky, junky yard! They add so much character. Vintage, rusty items make a great addition. Here is a sample of some of the things I have.

The human foot is a biological masterpiece. Its strong, flexible, and functional design enables it to do its job well and without complaint—if you take care of it and don't take it for granted.
healthThe foot can be compared to a finely tuned race car, or a space shuttle, vehicles whose function dictates their design and structure. And like them, the human foot is complex, containing within its relatively small size 26 bones (the two feet contain a quarter of all the bones in the body), 33 joints, and a network of more than 100 tendons, muscles, and ligaments, to say nothing of blood vessels and nerves.

PS As to the question about drainage in the bird bath, there is none but I planted things that seem to flourish in it. Last year the plants grew huge and beautiful. This year I've decided at the end of the season to replant them on the side of the house where there's shade. And then next year I'll start all over with new plants. Works for me!

You DO have such a knack for putting things together - and like Janis said - it should be in a magazine!
Thanks for sharing, and I'll defnitely have to check out your blog for more pics!

I have to say that my favorite is..........ABSOLUTELY EVERYTHING!!! What a wonderful collection of vintage finds you have, and you have such an amazing knack of putting everything together. Your pictures should be in a magazine!!

LOVE the wheel axel piece - how very original to use as a planter. Not to be outdone by my other favorites: the dispenser, the Paris bench (priceless!!), the motel chairs, the factory table and the matching sinks.
Your talent for mixing and matching things is apparent. I can only hope your family, friends and neighbors feel the same way about your talents and all your "stuff." Thanks so much for sharing all the lovely pictures with us. After seeing all this, I now know, I need to get out and find more stuff for my home!!! gailmarie Posted: 11:19 am on June 28th
Not sure what to "love the mostest"...I am planting all these ideas in my mind. I truly like how you add the plants or pillows to keep a crisp edge on your vintage finds. Thinking, thinking, thinking....I believe I may have to absolutely adore the sinks used for windowboxes most of all. Garden Tour -- sell tickets!!
