Some Yard Stuff...

Oh how I long for spring... last week, we had summer, this week is winter!
Rarely do we ever have a true spring anymore!

I did some decorating of sorts this week outside on the patio 
The lattice is a divider for the patio which will eventually be removed
I added two metal sconces that I bought at the thrift store for $2.00 each
They are really heavy and in the shabby chic theme I was going for
The mirrored door was at CTS for $1.00 last year at clearance time it has fruit on it in a basket
The grill is being freecycled for parts this week!

The stained glass fruit was my moms and she gave it to me a few years back. I never really did have a theme in my kitchen so I never used it. When we were moving I had placed it in a dontate pile and it never ended up donated... and for that I am glad because I think it looks so cute here
I still need to trim the chain... and the lattice is being replaced soon!
I love our rockers so much~!
They are resin and are so heavy duty!
My parents gave us one for our porch at the other house and then I bought one for $5.00 at a yard sale last year. 
The hens and chickens in the pot are from my Uncle ~
I picked up the blue striped pillows at Christmas Tree Shops last week for $5.00
They are weather proof and will match our new patio set perfectly!

I adore wind chimes!!!

Here are some pics of some bargains I picked up... price tags included LOL

This metal boot was $4.00... actually it is cast iron!
I loved it and thought it would look great as a flower pot soon!

I have no idea what this stuff is that is growing in my yard.... LOL

$1.50 bought me this bird feeder... oh and yes it is on top of a TIRE planter (came with the house) ... still trying to decide if I should keep the tire planter or if I should freecycle it ~ or maybe paint it red!

  6. Everything is looking so good! The flowers near your boot are an Iris. Also try painting your tire to see if you like it better.
    take care
