Hi All! This past week has been a great one, I’ve been on vacation. We went to see my eldest daughter and family for a few days. Then when we got back we jumped in a got started on some much-needed yard work. Had a little bit of a scare, one of the flowers beds that I had been working in a couple days earlier on Sunday the hubby found and killed a copperhead. Yikes! Sure, glad I didn’t grab him while pulling weeds. Friday was one of the best birthdays ever, the hubby took me to Antique Alley which runs from Cleburne to Grandview here in Texas twice a year. This week I am going to share the things that we picked up in Wimberley, and while junkin at antique alley.

Wimberley Trip

On the way to Wimberley I spotted a Goodwill, and of course we had to stop. The hubby picked up the tissue cover box for me to makeover for his desk at work (coming soon). Also found these mini cutting boards, and this little mason jar.

We went to a new plant nursery in Wimberley and they had so many plants that I wanted. I love perennials, and I was wanting more herbs as well to help repel mosquito’s and sage is on the list so I bought this Purple leaf sage.

Lemon verbena is another good plant for mosquito’s, and the eucalyptus just because.

This plant is an Elderberry bush, that I plan to make my own cough syrup, and cold & flu elixir out of the berries. Hope it does well.

I found this antique wood crate on the way back home from Wimberley. I’m hoping to same what is left of the label, but it’s in pretty bad shape, and it’s crumbling apart.

Junkin at Antique Alley for My Birthday

Two metal teapots, and what I think is a old jello mold. Teapots will be going the garden either as birdhouses or yard decor. Not sure about the jello mold yet, it’s a little too small for what I had planned.

Fake metal windmill blades that we’ve been wanting for a while now. Now hanging in our Outdoors Vintage Garden.

Two solid wood cabinet doors for a dollar each. Would make a great sign or ….

Two more metal farm animals, a pig,and a chicken. 🙂 Love my farm animals, just wish they were real.

Wimberley Trip, and Junkin at Antique Alley | antique red wagon, and bucket

An old red wagon, and old bucket that I added some flowers to. I have another bucket I’m working on for more flowers.

A large wrought iron sphere that opens up to add a flower but I’m thinking of just hanging it in a tree to watch the squirrels play in.

Lastly is two old metal pans that I am planning on making a two tier rack out of. Just need to find the right candle stick holders first.

We enjoyed our visit with the daughter and family, and what better way of spending a birthday than junkin at antique alley for 7 hours. Then topping it off at Pulido’s having a delicious dinner. Now vacation is over, and back to work.

    Wonderful finds, Linda! My favorite is the sphere and I hope the squirrels will have fun with it. I hear you on the snake scare. Our neighbor killed a viper in his garden a few days ago.

    Happy belated birthday Linda, I’m so glad you had a good one and found so many lovely things on your trip. The little red wagon and orb are beautiful finds, kinda jealous right now 😉 Sorry about the snake scare. We had an Egyptian Cobra in our garden last year and were running around trying to stop the dogs from attacking her. It does make you a little weary but then again it also means that there’s a balance in your garden if Mother Nature’s creatures decide to stop over for a while, which is really special.

      Thank you Michelle! It was a great trip and fun Birthday, and I finally got everything planted and the other items placed in their new places in the garden. As for the orb I think that I should of painted it so that it will stand out better. So I will have to take that back down.

      A corba oh no that would of really scared me. I would of freaked out and ran in the house for the gun. No probably the shotgun so there would be no way I missed. Poor babies probably didn’t know that a cobra was not to be messed with.

    Oh my I would have loved to be out and about shopping with you. I hate passing up a good Goodwill myself and although I really never buy much I love walking through antique stores. Looks like you walked away with some great items. I too am always looking for JUNK to put in my flowerbed. OOPS on the snake, that was a close one for sure. I have only found garter snakes in my neck of the woods but with all the building and the moving in of more and more wild life I would not be surprised to find one of those someday….Take care.

      That would be fun Pam! I do love Goodwill or any thrift store, and antique/junk stores. I do watch everywhere I walk now when in my flowerbeds, and will have to watch for rattle snakes now too. Someone ran one over a few houses up from ours the other day. You take care as well and keep an eye out.

    Wow, Linda, you made an incredible haul! I love everything, but especially the plants, and that sphere is really cool! Can’t wait to see how you repurpose everything! What a thoughtful hubby you have that takes you to the place he knows you’ll love!

      Thanks Florence! I love all the plants as well. Founds some that I haven’t seen around where we live. I think the hubby loves thrifting as much as I do.
