2nd Flea Market Gardens Mag!

Boy was I excited when I heard there was a 2nd Flea Market Gardens magazine out this year!   (Good thing my initial excitement won-out over the ho-hum cover picture.)

It is chalk-full of colorful pictures and some not-so-original ideas.   I was a little disappointed to see a lot of the same ole' ideas but then again, I suppose if it ain't broke, don't fix it.

Edging ideas that we've all seen before but still look great. 

I was really drawn to these pictures and cute little article;  I love the combination of garden-junk and more-of-a country look; a cottage charmer for sure!

and I'm in love with all this chippy white stuff!!

Super-cute old chicken coop!   I've always wanted to move an old dilapidated little building to my property and make it all cute!   (did you hear that brother-in-law?  Keep the flat-bed handy!!)

Did anyone else notice the broken tree limb in the background?   I would have hoped editing would have caught that!

Also came across this not-so-original idea:   a planted chair.

The same night, I also bought the new Birds & Blooms magazine.   Imagine my surprise when I noticed a familiar site!

The exact same planted chair!!   Makes you wonder where they get their material!  

That was definitely a disappointment! 

But then all was well in the world again when I came across the potting potential article.   Again, not very original ideas but fun to look at just the same!



So overall I was a little disappointed that there weren't more new and unique ideas but I suppose it's hard to keep up with us creative people!  ha!
