The other day, I popped into my favourite farmer's market to pick up some coffee for the hubby, only to find that they were having a sidewalk sale and selling off all their plants and display items at 75% off.... needless to say, I didn't just leave with the coffee...
I just love this store, as it definitely has an 'English country garden' feel about it, and so, perfect for what I am trying to create, here, in New Jersey... Practically everything was on sale, and at bargain basement prices too... so much so that I had to grab a sales associate just to check that they weren't going out of business!
Anyways, I snapped up these for the home...
I'm overrun with oil and vinegar bottles, but, at these prices, I figured I could find some other use for them... Any ideas?
I also picked up this cloche for the garden. I've been hanging my nose over it for a while, but deemed it out of my price range... it looks very pretty, but I'm not very sure as to the practicality of it.. I guess I'll have to wait for the spring to sow some seeds in the little pot and see what happens... meanwhile, I'll just marvel at what a bargain I picked up...
My brother had left me some cash on the strict instructions that 'it had to be spent on the garden'... him being an avid gardener and all...and so, I picked up this little chappy... just so I don't forget my roots... we've named him King Richard... we're hoping he'll scare our cat away from the borders... she's a pretty skilled hunter, despite having 3 large bells around her neck...
So as not to leave the girls out of this shopping frenzy, I picked up this little potting table... they've developed a love of gardening, but it usually involves them digging up my borders... hopefully, this will entertain them and lead them away from their destructive play.... I doubt it though...All in all, I did pretty well for myself, and only a few dollars lighter on the pocket. What a rare triumph!
Oh yeah, and I brought the coffee... my hubby tells me that, 'It's the best coffee around', but I'll take his word for it, and stick with my cup of tea!
i love that cloche and that potting table is divine for your gals....

Love love the little potting table!! You can never start too early!
ReplyDeleteI love your blog., I have been reading though your older posts. I too moved from the UK, and am now in Canada, and I have a brother in New Jersey.
ReplyDeleteIt is hard to move countries. I left the Uk when I was 12 but still think of it as home. Myabe because that is where all the extended family are. It's the people not the palce.
I love your kitchen chairs distressed. Very suitalbe for little ones.
75% is a huge discount. I love the lion status that your brought from there.
