Bizzie-B yes, I am in Belgium. This weekend is the braderie in the local town and they have a street flea market. I've picked up some good stuff there such as old galvanised laundry pots. I painted one black and use it for paries to fill with ice and beer and fizz. Another was painted red and stencilled with gold snowflakes and Xmas trees to hold the Xmas tree. Another is yet to be done. Last year there was a huge, bevelled mirror in a ghastly brown stained frame but when I strip it and paint it cream and crackle it it'll make a fabulous chimney breast mirror - for my next house.
I have a rusty metal hat and coat rack I use to support a window box of fuchsia cuttings on my back wall and an old wine rack used simply as decoration on my bottle wall. Another rusty wine rack with ice bucket stand was painted cream and is used as a plant stand in my kitchen.
Vendée - 20kms from Atlantic coast.

Your bottle wall is brilliant obelisk, please can I ask how you made it? Sounds like you do beautiful things with your flea market finds, very inspirational and hope you can share pics
Did you discover any good things this weekend?
Hope you are having a lovely summer as we are right now. Your garden certainly looks lush and very pretty beautiful
