weekends. I was able to go to some yard sales finally
and these were some of my finds.
I really love old garden junk. I liked the patina on these
old sprinkler nozzles.
I loved how they looked with the lace runner and bling
I found. The nozzles will end up outside somewhere
in the garden, and the bling in the studio for now.
An old chippy bookcase.
Where in the heck it will go, I have no
idea.
More garden junk
These old rakes were my favorite find.
I loved the colors in it.
You can't tell from the photo, but it is
nubby linen cloth.
sewing supplies. It's not near big enough for
me to use everyday. You should see the big ole' thing
I lug around to hold all my necessities...(crap)
If you would like to see what some other girls found 'junkin' stop over at
Cottage Charm and Family Inspirations
for their 'Junkin' Monday'.

Oh JunieGirl! I love GardenJunque, too! My Mr. AGPMan ALWAYS goes to the garage and backyard first on any Estate Sale we visit. We have the BEST Garden tools...the kind you can't buy anymore and they were all purchased secondhand! Gotta LOVE IT!
The purse is 2die4. I'd carry it!
Love to you~Rebecca
Your ´junk´ is beautiful: the metal things, but especially the chair and that pretty bookcase! Will you leave the case outside in your garden? I imagine it filled with flowers and pots :)
Good night, I´ll be back soon,

What neat vintage garden finds June!! I love old garden goodies also! I have a few in my stash and pick them up anytime they are cheap!!
Blessings~
June, I loved seeing all your wonderful finds :) I love old garden tools...whenever I want to buy them Mr wonderful says, if you just leave your own tools outside for a few months..same thing lol I also wanted to Congratulate you on winning The Jeanne D'arc Living magazine on French Larkspur...I am so happy for you :) Let me know how it is...I have the one I won from Carole of Maynard Garden house and I just love it, don't understand a word in it, but love it! I am thinking of ordering the English one myself this weekend :) Rose
Cool stuff June! Those rakes look like they were just meant to be right there against that tree!!
I can't wait to see what you're gonna do with all your goodies! especially that cool lunchbox! Are you going to put a plant in it? Or maybe decoupage something on it????
Well, whatever you do I know it will be great!!
Have fun!
Sherri:)
Oh I love the flowered handbag. Beautiful. Have a nice day
Oh June that garden junk is so perfect to make fun vignettes! We also love the black lunch box, the bling and the little chair of course!! Fun fun treasures...how nice of you to come out and share them with us!!!

June, you do come home from flea markets and yard sales with the coolest things. My hubby would love those hose nozzles. How you managed to make them look fabulous sitting on the lace runner is beyond me. You have the knack my friend! If I had displayed them, they would have looked exactly what they are, nozzles. You make them seem special!! I for one love that purse! I carry around large sized purses too and my little family here calls them my "trash bags" cuz they hold everything in them but the kitchen sink. I don't hear them complaining about them when we are out and about and I JUST happen to have the exact thing with me that they need, no matter what it turns out to be. :-) I some times like to buy small purses though, just cuz they are pretty and I dream of the day that I will learn to carry around less stuff with me. have a great day.

Hello, June,
I enjoyed seeing all your Junkin' Finds!! The hose nozzles are great! I, too, love their patina. I bet you will find some place for that wonderful shelf, too. Your purse is so pretty. I can identify with it being too small for everyday use. I carry a big jar of coffeemate in my purse so if I stop somewhere for coffee, I will have my coffeemate ready!! Sending autumn blessings your way. Vicki
Oh June, so great founds! Love that little handbag, just gorgeous. To let the summer go is always hard, seeing all the flowers fade is hard, but when I see all the ripe fruites all over here it is a fair compensation :0) hugs, Mira!
June,
You know how much I love your garden and I can see how well your (junk) treasures are going to fit in. I can also see what drew you to the bookcase and the rake; that gorgeous teal color. I love both!
I would say you had a successful weekend!!
xoxo

Hello June, I love all the garden junk, they all look just like what we all used when I was growing up, and I believe when my dad passed away, we still kept them! That little purse is so pretty! Good finds! Doggie kisses TT! Bisous... Julie Marie
Such great stuff June! But I covet that chippy bookcase - the patina is just perfect! Lovely, lovley, lovely...
:) T
I love all your junkin finds. I have a collection of sprinkler nozzles...I don't garden but I just liked the look of several of them grouped together. Very cute little purse too!
Great finds. I love the old garden rakes the best too. I have the same old stepladder but there is so much junk in our barn I couldn't find it this year.Cleaning out the barn in on our to do list.
Have fun placing all your treasures.
Carolyn
June, you did good too...i don't know what you are talking about...i love your hose nozzles...they have the most wonderful patina...and really make a statement all grouped together...i love your new bag too...the bookshelf from what i can see is fabulous...love the color!!!
I love to find good junk! ~ And that you did!
I love that your like me too.. not always knowing where exactly it's going to go.. but it sings to you--so you have to have it!!
What great treasures! I love the gardening stuff! No doubt it will all look wonderful in your garden next year:). And that purse-what a steal for a dollar! Thanks for sharing!!!
Blessings,
Kim
Oh, my, June, I'm really swooning over your fabulous junking finds! I love your collection of nozzles - gorgeous patina. But my favourite, is that incredible bookcase, which I would LOVE to have in my possession - it looks so perfectly shabby.
Great haul...junkin' Queen!
Love it all. And the old nozzles remind me of a little craft where someone clever took some wire and twisted it around and up into little photo holders.
I didn't rock the boat but I did clean for 5 hours. Now I'm ready to float down that restful river.
Happy Monday ;-)
Who ever thought old sprinkler nozzles could be so interesting???? Love your finds....I went to a flea market yesterday, but haven't gone "junkin'" yet.
Hello June, you have got some interesting things from your junkin. Sorry to ask but there´s something I don´t understand: the difference between junkin´, flea markets, yard sales, garage sales, barn sales and... I think this is it. I can see in american blogs that women go to many different kind of sales to get the treasures that I only find in my local flea market on weekends... uuhh

Hello dear sweet June,
I love all your wonderful finds! I am so glad you were able to go junking and came home with so many fabulous finds! I love old garden things, too! I wonder about all the gardeners that used them, what they grew, what was their favorite flower and so on. It is just like vintage photos, I wonder about the people in them.
I love the chippy bookcase, too. You will find a spot for it. My dear husband and sweet son will always move things for me. If you are like me, you will re-arrange and find a perfect spot for it! :). Oh, the purse is just gorgeous and $1 is a fabulous price!
Thank you for your kind comments on my blog. You always bless and encourage me. I look forward to your visits and mine with you!
Love, Paula
Hi June,

June...you did hit the jackpot!!! Good for you. And if you get tired of that purse...
June,
What awesome finds! I love lovae that green chippy cabinet! When you find just the right spot, as I know you will, please show us all some pictures. I love the juxtaposed mediums mixed, like your nozzles and lace and bling! How fun!!

What wonderful finds, June. You have the best flea markets....I'm soooo ebvious. I love the bookcase. When I distress a piece of furniture, it never quite looks the same as something that has aged naturally.....gorgeous treasures. XXXX
Hello June
Where do I begin, there are so many things which I would have bought given the chance! The bookcase, chair, satchel and steps are my favourite!
You really have bought some lovely things

Hi -
OK - this post makes me want to put down my morning coffee, throw on some clothes and head towards thrift shop row, cart back some stuff, pick up my coffee and carry on.
Love your blog - see you soon
Marsha
i'm so glad you had a chance to go junking:) it's all just beautiful! and i'd love to see more of that gorgeous bookcase...maybe another post?!?
mary
Gorgeous finds June! Love the colours of the beautiful chippy bookcase, chair, rakes & especially that sweet little red childs wheelbarrow :-)
O.K. June,thats way too many good things for one fal to find!!!You really scored big I must say,have fun with it now,lucky girl!!All the best,Chrissy
June, I love that you can see the beauty in what others may perceive as junk. I don't know what it is about treasures like the old sprinkler nozzles, chippy bookcases and that awesome red wheelbarrow that just catch my eye and fill my heart with a fuzzy good feeling. :-D I mean, face it, we can find those things brand new, but their weathered, vintage charm is so appealing and so beautiful. Plus the idea that there are stories and some kind of history behind them...it's just awesome to me. Great treasure finds. Happy 1st day of autumn.
Hugs,
♥Ana
OHH lovely june,
wish i could have all that junkin' to myself!!!! have a great day,
Rosa
Dear June,
I loved seeing what wonderful junk you picked up ~ how lucky! I love the little handbag and the rakes and chippy bookshelf.
Thank you so much for your comforting words to me, I appreciate your kindness, support and friendship.
Hugs
Carolyn
I like that cute little wheelbarrel you found. And I just love the purse. One dollar? Wow, great find.
Great junk! I really loved that miniature wheel barrel! I can just see it filled with fall Mums or Pansies! The purse is just too cute! And...what a BARGAIN!
Who would of thought that old nozzles would
make such a pretty picture, but it does! You found some great items June! Great pics too!
El Primo Best Junk!! You scored, I will take it all, It is just perfect junk!! I am seriously excited over all your finds!!Tootles, Janna
