A Whimsical Idea for a Garden Bench

This was just outside a shop I was in recently...isn't it a hoot?! Someone has cut holes in the seat and sunk the pots down into it. So, don't throw out that old piece of furniture...just paint it with an outdoor grade paint and you'll have a delightful planter for your garden. :-) Love it!

A Classy Flea:

A few weeks ago, my all time favorite antique/thrift store, A Classy Flea, had a special evening of shopping just for BNOTP fans!



It was well attended with 45+ folks stopping by to take advantage of all the great finds and bargains. The wonderful folks at A Classy Flea prepared a delightful feast with a screened backdrop so us porch fans would feel right at home. :-)

What a fun, fun night! I loved meeting all of you! I don't have as many pics to share as I had hoped since I was busy greeting folks and wasn't able to take any once the evening began.



A Give-a-Way:
In addition to hosting this special night of shopping just for BNOTP fans, A Classy Flea generously presented me with a Gift Certificate for a porch fan who lives here in the Atlanta area, or close enough to be able to use it. I know some of you are huge fans of A Classy Flea and have driven over from neighboring states to shop. If you are planning a trip this way or live in the Atlanta area, please leave a comment HERE At My Give-a-Way Post .

I'll announce the winner next Saturday. :-)

I really liked this bench. I stood looking at it for quite a while...trying to think of a spot where I could use it. It killed me to walk away, but I left it for another lucky person.
