A grey and chilly morning at the car-boot sale yesterday but still lots of sellers and buyers although anyone who arrived after 8.30am might have got wet as it started to drizzle as I left.
My bigger than usual spend was £20 on this....................
A better version of my old shabby-chic ladder that I had at the smallholding and then at Clay Cottage. It wasn't used in 2020 because it had got really loose and wobbly so went off to BiL's to be cut up for firewood when I cleared the cottage garage.
I'm going to give this a going over with a wire brush and then a coat of colour. The two cacti were also from the boot-sale - £1 each -and need re-potting into something bigger. Then I can spend the rest of the summer looking for small clay pots and decide what plants to display.... should be a fun garden project.
It may be pretty busy this week if I'm to fit in everything planned and watch as much Wimbledon as possible, so please forgive me if I don't leave many comments elsewhere.
Back Tomorrow

Nice. Looking forward to seeing the transformation. xx
ReplyDeleteI love your new plant stand and if it had been my purchase I would have turned it into a Auricula or primrose stand it shows you never know what you can see and a cacti stand would be a nice idea look forward to seeing what you do with it.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy the tennis I have a friend that goes to Wimbledon to help.

I think it will be an allsorts stand!
DeleteThat plant stand would be perfect for my auricula collection.Looking forward to what you put on there.
ReplyDeleteWell done! That plant stand was a good buy; I'm quite jealous as I've never seen anything quite like it. I'm glad I'm not the only one prepared to haggle :-)
ReplyDeleteI will be watching Wimbledon too, so don't expect comments from me either! Let's hope it's a good one.
ReplyDeleteInteresting so far.
DeleteThe stand will look great full of plants. What a great idea. And it's got wheels. It's put me on the look out for one.
ReplyDeleteThe wheels look much older than the rest
DeleteWhat a lovely project Sue - well done you - presume you have learned your bargaining skills from watching Flog it!
ReplyDeleteor bargain hunt!
DeleteNever seen anything quite like that before. But it looks grand for displaying pots of plants at a doorway.
ReplyDeleteNice plant stand. Not the usual table/shelving stand. You have a good eye and bargaining skills as well. Enjoy the tennis.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great fin, a lovely project to keep you busy.
ReplyDeleteThat is really super, well done for haggling [I am no good at that] Looking forward to seeing it in use
ReplyDeleteThat was a great find! I wonder what color you will paint it? That will look terrific filled with blooming plants.
ReplyDeleteNot sure yet, I thought maybe the same as the shed and some trellis here but then thought dark grey might be better
DeleteIt's really lovely, well spotted and well bartered. xx
ReplyDeleteThank you - I'm glad I decided to spend - would have regretted it if I'd missed it
DeleteNice find.
ReplyDeleteDid you see the Jack Draper match?
Yes, he did well to get a set. If he works hard he should do well in the future.
DeleteThen watched Tsitsipas lose - sadly. Now Andy is on
What a nice plant stand. I love how it has plenty of space for the plants to spread out. It will be lovely filled with plants.
ReplyDeletesuch a coincidence... there is now a very similar plant holder on the Kansas City Facebook marketplace! More expensive than yours!!
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun garden project!!! Enjoy your bargain.
ReplyDeleteGod bless.
That's a nice little plant stand, it could come indoors in the Winter too and grow herbs so you have something to tend all year round :)
ReplyDeleteI love your plant stand!
