Metal, Stone, and Wicker

If you follow my blog, you already know I love ornate metal. However, I also have a passion for smooth industrial metal as well. Like these three containers I picked up at the flea market today.


I love the sleek circular shape, and the labels.  They were $5 for the set of three.

In addition to the usual furniture, which I will be sharing this coming week, my finds this past weekend seemed to fall into three categories.  Aside from the wicker covered bottles at the end of my last post,





I also seemed to find metal everywhere I went.  This chair was a thrift store find.





This wire basket and the two galvanized pieces were in the backyard at an estate sale.



Great old green paint on this watering can.





A vintage shopping cart.





My last category was anything stone like and heavy.  This vase is over three feet tall, and weighs a ton.  I picked it up at a garage sale.  Well, I had help.  The price...$4.





This cement statue is over four feet tall with her pedestal.  This was my husbands find.




OK, back to my redesigns.  I have lots to share this coming week.  See ya soon.

  28. Funny about the white pretty wrought iron chair....we just picked up a little cafe set for our patio this weekend and it's black wrought iron (but nowhere near as ornate). I was wishing it were white. Then I almost bought a jar of white gesso in Hobby Lobby yesterday but had to restrain myself! You are rubbing off on me! (No pun intended.) Thanks for linking up at my party. Have a great week.

  30. Do you haggle much? You find the neatest things and get them for such great prices. I like everything but i LOVE the flat tins with the labels...and at such a low price. Thanks for sharing (even if you do make me jealous).
