Lets go outside....

had a wonder in me garden the other day and realised that all the stuff in it is second hand (Tom and me dont like spending money on things). So heres whats in it....

Deck Chair, free from our local recycling centre (not sure if we were supposed to take things OUT of the unwanted furniture skip, but no-one stopped us), Red fold up chair, £6.00 from the Ben Howard Charity Warehouse, Ethnic style coffee table a poper bargain at 50p from Eccleshall carboot Market last bank holiday....not bad!



A good friend gave me a spare tomato plant earlier this summer, it was a bit neglected for it's first week and left in a plastc bag in the garden as someone (Tom) forgot to tell me it was there! But he has recovered well and even bearing fruit. My lovely neighbour Liz, saw the plant and suggested it needed a bigger pot to flourish, which she kindly gave to me from her vast collection. So all in all totally free and re-used.






 Finally, all the other little pots and the ceramic cat (oh, how I long for a real one!) are also from the good people at the Ben Howard Charity Warehouse. They have anything and everything all second hand. Seriously; you could totally furnish your home, clothe yourself, get some pretty pots for your garden, add to your vintage camera/vinyl/ceramics collection, pick up some timber...even find some lovely gifts. they can be found on Frayling Business Park, nr Longport, heres a map.
