"Garden Junk"

This time of year there's not many new things blooming in the garden. We are all waiting on fall for mums and asters I guess. So I am joining my fellow garden bloggers and looking at "other things in the garden." Some call it "whimsy", I think of it as my "garden junk" since most things I find at flea markets or antique stores.
This little table is something my best friend gave me years ago. It was old when she bought it and as you can see, it is still aging. I put it on the flagstone patio joined by old tins, a birdhouse, candles and plants.



Most of my "junk" is along the garage side of the backyard. When they built the fence, I moved all my "stuff" in this empty bed, and it looked so cute, I decided to leave most of it there.













This is a little red wagon I found in McKinney. I had been looking forever for a small wagon, so was really excited to find one this size.
















This Garden Angel watches over the corner wildflower bed. I am just starting out with wildflowers, so she has been very busy this year!

These are just a few of my birdhouses. I keep these in an iron planter on the patio right outside the kitchen.

And my very favorite is this garden stone. My husband surprised me with it several years ago on our 25th wedding anniversary. The stone sits tucked in the ivy right by the pond. I look at it everytime I sit in the swing, and I am reminded of how truly blessed I am!
