A base for my double wide galvanized tub. Funny the bottom is rusted inside but not outside. Could I put layers of something under the dirt to lighten the weight, & does it still have to have holes in the bottom? Pinned a lovely planting picture for this size tub. May have to use concrete blocks until I find a base.

In reply to Cathy. Hi Cathy, if you do a search for Bowling ball on this page, you'll see what we need them for. VERY fun and unusual for the garden.

In reply to Kim. I have a nice rusty bike I would be glad to sell for $20. It will be at my booth at the spring show at Country Lane Treasures in beautiful Southern Illinois. Come on down for a junkin' road trip!

I’ve been looking for an old farm sink. They are becoming harder to find these days. 🙂

I would like, or love, a old bathroom sink to mosaic, plum and put in my garden as a fountain. Also some tires to make planters from, brightly painted and stacked. I saw them on pinterest and they look so fun.

That’s a great idea, Carol. I hope you post a photo of this to our FB Wall. I’d like to see it.

In reply to Grace Peterson. You have a point! Once I decorated my home, I suddenly lost the desire to buy anything else for it,..I did't want it to be cluttered and loved the spare 'Summer Camp' feel of it. That doesn't apply to the garden, plenty of room to create Flea Market style garden vignettes, so I still seek out yard sales for outdoor things.

In reply to Kim.

I haven’t found a bike yet, either, but it’s really high on my “List.” Where I used to live in Orange County, CA there was a wonderful place called Tony’s Architectural Salvage,….fantastic place!

Bird cages. I take the bottoms off and use them as deer exclusion cages. My latest find? A 3 ft x 4 ft parrot cage that fits over a rhodo planted last year. The deer chewed off all the buds and the new growth. Sort of like closing the barn door after the horse is out, but it’ll be good for next winter.

This makes me so grateful for the stuff I’ve collected over the years. I honestly can’t think of one new thing I’d like but regardless, I’m on the prowl because you never know what you might find.

I want an old bike I have yet to find one That does not cost arm and leg. Always on the lookout for architectural salvage, Unusual items and anything that will hold a plant!
