    Archie you are a sly fox! You have the most beautiful things image

    The pot in the first pic containing I think are runner beans is gorgeous and I saw one recently in my favourite shop but was far too expensive for a me treat that day! I really really like it image

    As for the second pic the two pots there I have wished for for a long time

    What does fly tipped mean?image

    The wooden bench is gorgeous and looks perfect place to sit and look at your lovely garden image

    Goodness, I can see we've moved on quite a bit since yesterday so, excuse me while I back track a  little

    Artjak, thank you for the tip re using string to bind  taller blooms. I think sunflowers would need to be wired as the heads are so heavy.I'll bear the bucket and w can in mind. 

    Like the chair image  

     

     

    The challenge had joint winners: BeausMum and artjak. A close decision but tall recepticles  had to be the best option. The prizes will be revealed when I've thought of something image shabby chic, of course!

     

     

    obelixx,  you've certainly got an eye for unusual things. That green colinder would have made a goid hanging basket. Look forward to seeing what you find in the street markets. By the way and  excuse me for asking image , am I right in thinking  you live in Belgium? 

     

     

    archiepem, now I know where all the fly tipping has gone from here!  Tremendous finds, that planter looks like an old wash tub. Incredible what people throw out, although there is the trend to upcycle now so maybe not so much about to fly tip. Good to know that shabby chic has not passed you by image

    Archie re fly tipping! Would have loved to see you with that wheel barrow! Must have taken you for ever! Only thing I have seen fly tipped is old mattresses image

    Told you everyone would be fighting over your lovely things image

    Lovely wooden box, I have got a lovely one that was made by a friends husband who was a superb joiner, it is like a treasure chest, he made them himself and gave me one when I spent a weekend decorating for his wife and that was my payment image

    Bizzie can't wait for our prize image
