I have pets and lots of birds and such so I use beautiful bowls and keep them filled with fresh water in placed in among the plants for the animals. I love it.
Oh Linda I Love everything you got. That long basket is something i have never seen before. I think I would use it for real flower arrangements so people could take a fresh bouquet home. Of course I would use those forced bulbs.vase and put some greens in with them.I LOVE that strainer you found and our flowers look so Beautiful in it. I think I would use it as a center piece with a towel hanging over the side with a box of pasta , jar of sauce and some kind of bread with a few utensils for a pasta dinner.Thank you for sharing this with us. So until next time God Bless you and Stewart and have a Blessed Evening and Stay Safe my dear Friends. 🌷🐇🐤🌷🌹🐤🌷
Those jars could be turned into lanterns, Dollar Tree LED tea lights, or their solar garden stake lights whose tops come off would fit nicely in those jars and would look awesome to light up an evening garden
As always, thank you for the great garden ideas for thrifted items, Linda! You asked for our ideas... here's one for a tablescape I once put together for an evening party buffet: stretch a set of white twinkle lights (borrowed from my Christmas decorations) across a table in a random pattern; cover with light fabric (I had used a set of unneeded sheer curtains we had taken down); fasten the extra draped fabric under the table with masking tape so no one can see it; then set your buffet on top of the fabric moving the twinkle lights as needed. With the room lights turned down low, the table just glowed and looked beautiful! This might not work for an Easter brunch but perhaps for a spring evening get-together. 😊🐰🌷
Linda you are the reason my back hurts. Every time I see what plant you have, I will go find it and plant it. I planted 6 different flowers today. I love your channel and I am passing on your channel to my friends who also gardening. Bless you and keep up the great work.
The hyacinth jars are great for gifting bouquets of herbs from my garden. A good way to trim the mint and pinch the basil back then share at least one sprig of all I have and maybe a small flower.
📢"Linda Vater!" Everyone time I leave you alone, you go and do something Amazing!🤭 Awesome finds and ideas! Love it all!🤸🤗 A little taste of joy from the hearts 💕 of babes!
Love the sweet notes! How precious! The Easter grass is beautiful, the way you display reminds me of Easter when I was young. Love reading other subscribers’ comments. What a beautiful, sunny day! Shouts out again to Stuart, great job dude!
What an inspiring ideas, inverting deserted items into rich marvellous and fresh looking displays. Indeed takes a lot of creativity and imagination, and that what is all about our wonderful host Linda. 🌹 As for the long basket i would imagine it as centre piece for rectangular long dinner table filled with some green Easter grass and nested with different coloured Easter eggs and some flowers and maybe a mini Easter bunnies.
You could use your basket for cut up subway sandwiches, fruit, your glass bottles filled with flowers, small terracotta pots filled with herbs, or rolled up napkins with silverware tied with a ribbon, or even line it with ferns and fill it with dyed Easter eggs.
I would use then long basket for Easter. I have a long basket that I put beautiful ceramic eggs and grass on my table. very colorful. Love your thrifting finds, thrifting is my passion.
I am so thrilled to have found your channel. You are so fun and so sweet. It makes me happy to see a young me loving to thrift and garden. I still adore my garden but it’s not the same having someone else do it. Your garden is an absolute gem. I’ve loved flowers since before I could talk. When passing a florist shop in my push chair I would smell the wonderful scent and point making appropriate noises so my mother would take me close to see all the wonderful plants.
I love that you are incorporating thrift finds and ideas on your you tube show. My NYC daughter has a successful business buying and reselling her thrift store finds and has been featured in several magazines. It's wonderful to recycle and repurpose. It's rather fun hunting as well... Thank you for your hard work and sharing your creative ideas.
I heard of a nice way to show children the message of Easter. Put a cross in a planter and plant grass around it. The grass will grow up around the cross symbolizing the ressurection.
That super long basket would look pretty with some river rocks and a few strategically placed tea light candles!! Love your thrifting videos. So fun to see what treasures are out there.
i'm planning to use the 'basket of Easter grass' for the grandchildren to make their own fairy land. Give them a selection of dollar store items; gnomes, little flowers, butterflies, etc., to place in their fairy land and build it up themselves. They can leave it at grandma's to put under a tree or in the garden or they can take it home to enjoy. Love your channel!
I am a thrifter ....and for my birthday this year...my girlfriends are meeting up at the Valley thrift store and then lunch and then going to the goodwill "bins"....and you have inspired me to look for more outside baskets and planters!!!!!!! I wish I could send you a photo of some things I have in my garden. One is an old coal bucket, one is a hook with a watering can with beads coming off of it to look like water. I love whimsical things spread out to give interest. I'm glad I found you.
My favorite videos of yours are the ones I love called thrift thing and then bringing those items back to your garden or your home and showing us how you place them in your decor. Thank you for all of your great ideas and lovely home and garden. Pam from Inola Oklahoma
I would spray paint the clear glass vases in white or any color that would be good for a small group of coordinating flowers and gift them or use them as place settings 🍽 for company.
My husband has noticed that I have begun repurposing items that were marked for the trash. He remarked how neat it was and I gave you the cudos. He gives you a thumbs up!
One of my favourite thing to do is to go thrifting!! Can’t wait for restrictions to lift and planting weather here in Ontario, Canada 🇨🇦. I think you could very nicely put water (possibly Easter coloured) in the bulb forcing vases and float candles in them for Easter dinner! I was able to get a brass pillar candle stand at an antique market a few weeks ago and can’t wait to use it. Thanks Linda for your great ideas. I think we might be kindred spirits - in the garden 🌱😉💖
With the forced bulb vases, I would wire them to a scrap piece of wood or attach several to an old shutter and use them to propagate cuttings from my plants.
Hi Linda ! Wow.........You really got me thinking about all the stuff in my garage I thought was junk!! Thank you so much for all the great ideas and entertaining suggestions!! Have a great day! Hi Stewart! :)
I stumbled onto your videos not too long ago and became a subscriber. I love that you Re-purpose, reuse , recycle. I have been doing this since I can remember. I find beauty in everything and I’m always looking for new ways to re-create. Thank you for all your inspiration. You rock!
I loved everything. I’ve found that here in Lubbock, Texas, estate sales are my best bet for finding bargains. You might try applying a small amount of white fingernail polish on chipped white containers. It prevents further degradation of the container.
Love to combine long baskets, oversized low sided baskets, mismatched small bowls, and cutting boards to fill with assorted charcuterie fixings. Easily themed with occasion/seasonal cloth napkins.
I would use that long basket as a long narrow centerpiece on my dining table, holding candles, small ferns, and little chicks, lambs, and bunnies for Easter.
Oh that long basket! I'd fill.it with a variety of preserved moss. At Christmas, fill with ornaments.... even ornaments on top of the preserved moss. Same for Easter using pretty plastic eggs. I LOVE IT!!!
We have baguette parties too, but we call them dipping parties. We do put out meats and cheeses and appetizers, but our favorite is to provide tiny individual bowls (another thrift search!) with an assortment of olive oils and Italian herbs to dip the bread!
An avid thrifter here and I’ve collected many well loved items for my garden. I usually buy plant stands, baskets and old pots. My favorites were the cast concrete bunny and iron pagoda that I found for less than $10.00 each that have special places in my garden. So fun to come up with different uses for other people’s cast offs. I love the baguette basket and I can see it also with fruits, or even small pots of flowers. You could also place small dishes of olives, nuts and cheese cubes in between the slices of bread. I use a large white ceramic pot that I found at a thrift store for storing toilet paper in my powder room. I also pick up silver plate trays to display items and place under pots. Thanks again for some great ideas!
OMGosh! I love the long basket!! You can decorate an outdoor table on your patio etc with candles and greenery would be amazing also! It’s endless what you can do! Love everything you have shown. I am amazed at how much the grass has grown. I love setting plants into containers. You show go ways to display them. Am excited to see how you make your table Easter center piece! You always look beautiful and the pop of color as you say is always beautiful! Ty for sharing your videos and love your garden!
I know its past Christmas but I would take the long basket and fill with antique Christmas kugel balls and tuck in some greenery and place on the fireplace mantle. I know, wrong season. 😉
I have on old thrifted colander I’m going to use as a planter this spring. And someone commented to use landscape fabric as a liner to slow drainage. Another great idea. Thanks for all the great ideas! 🪴
Your finds are wonderful! I love all your ideas. Your gardens are beautiful. Thank you for all your ideas and garden information. God bless you and your family!
Love all of these. Great ideas. I use thrifted baskets, planters, everything you have shown here and make easter baskets out of them with grass , but I individualize them for each person with dollar store items or thrifted teacup for the girls, and some other thrifted item (small) for the boys, along with anything else (these are adult children (18-26 - almost getting too old for even these but I can't help myself) - I pick a color scheme and use wire ribbon on various items to tie in the overall look. Baskets/wire ribbon are my go to's for easter.
My eyes are always on the lookout for curbies. I have found vintage patio furniture, enormous clay pots, and other discarded treasures on the street which I instantly incorporate into my gardens. I fondly call my backyard, Rust Has a Home.
My husband and I went to visit some friends in Cleveland OH and we had a trash pickin' day because at that time, Cleveland put out a schedule of large item pick-up for different sections of the city, so those days became the days that scavengers like us would go pick through the stuff left on the curb for trash pick-up. We came home with so much good stuff that people were throwing away -- stuff I would have paid for in a Savers thrift store.
I love all of your thrift finds, Linda. My mom was an incredible bargain hunter and thrift shopper so my sisters and I learned to enjoy the thrill of the hunt early on...
I have a copper 2 slice toaster which stopped working today. After watching your channel it occurred to me I could take out the inside and use it as a planter for my patio table this Summer. Six months ago I would have tossed it. Now I have a beautiful planter. Thanks for inspiring me to repurpose.
I loved this video Linda. The white porcelain urn would be good for breadsticks on the table. . The hyacinth jars would be good to take a clipping and root for friends. You could tie a pretty bow around it. The rest I would also plop plants in as you did❤️❤️❤️
I have grandkids so I would put that long beautiful basket in the middle of a table covered with butcher paper and fill the basket with crayons for them to color with! 💜💚❤️
You have such beautiful ideas! In the long bagget basket, I can see pieces of driftwood, live ferns, pieces of decaying branches covered in lichens, moss, and maybe some tiny flowers from bulbs and a candle here or there. It could be used as a dining table centerpiece or on top of a low bookshelf or coffe table, etc.
Hyacinth vases: using a super duper adhesive I would try punching out their bottoms (a tricky biz, but doable) and stacking them to whatever height to make a lamp base. It could be a garden lamp. Don't know if they make solar lamp kits. You could add some fun beads on wire to camouflage the junctions between the vases if they come out funky and uneven. If there is a diaphanous waterproof spray paint, I would spray each vase a different color and place them on broken stalks of oakleaf hydrangea. I do that with different colored wine bottles and thrifted colored vases and it really makes a statement during the winter when my shrubs are bare.
Ive just discovered your awesome channel and it has awakened a desire in me to get my hands in the dirt and be closer to nature. Thank you for sharing your lovely garden and all your tips and advice. The letters from the children are precious! You are a gem, Linda. 😊🌼🌳
I have 2 copper strainers and they make great hanging bird feeders since my wooden ones have been chewed through by squirrels. I have found the critters sitting among the sunflower seeds and having their own picnic.
Linda love love love your vids. An idea to use you baguette basket is place tea lights or string of mini lights in it. BTW love thrifting myself. TFS learning so much from you...blessings.
I recently found your videos on TH-cam and I'm hooked. I love your garden especially the trees.....and I and I'm sure others would love a tour of your garden/yard with names of plants and trees and why you chose them. If you have already done this I would love the link. Thank you so much..... You have combined two of my favorite things..... Thrifting and gardening. Love your channel.
I am new to your channel. I love your garden and the fact that you thrift. I have been working on my garden since I bought my house. I love the English garden look. I love the long baguette basket! I would use it just like you said. Get finds!
I have pets and lots of birds and such so I use beautiful bowls and keep them filled with fresh water in placed in among the plants for the animals. I love it.
....always enjoy watching your videos, they sort of put me in a trance. .....I pray my mind and love of plants will forever continue.

I use those sweet little hyacinth jars for house plant propagation cuttings.
Those jars could be turned into lanterns, Dollar Tree LED tea lights, or their solar garden stake lights whose tops come off would fit nicely in those jars and would look awesome to light up an evening garden
I would use the rabbit place card holders to label food at a spring buffet, or baby shower.
As always, thank you for the great garden ideas for thrifted items, Linda!

GREAT! Sunday treat! Hyacinth jars are now on my radar. Thank you for sharing your ideas, Linda.
Long basket....great for bocce balls!!! Adds great color when not in use!

I'm all about the wine carafe and a sweet flower vase per individual setting 🍷🌷🌿. Very sweet on the artwork indeed ... Good mama raising them well!
I heard of a nice way to show children the message of Easter.
Put a cross in a planter and plant grass around it. The grass will grow up around the cross symbolizing the ressurection.
The bowl of beautiful veggies sounds very Molly Chappellet. I’ve been inspired by her vegetable wreaths and displays.

The blue and white could be turned upside down to beautifully elevate a plant. So many nice finds in this video. 👍🌺👍
I would use the long basket for fresh lavender and the glass vases for honey.

I love your thrifting finds videos for the garden!
I just love all your ideals
grape vine wreath around hanging pot then set into large pot, it would make a finish edge

I would use that long basket as a long narrow centerpiece on my dining table, holding candles, small ferns, and little chicks, lambs, and bunnies for Easter.
What a great idea! That would be perfect for Easter!
Everything is beautiful. ❤
why not put Easter lilies, crosses, and the empty tomb for the resurrection, the true meaning of Easter?? (instead of chicks and bunnies)
I love your thrifting videos, I have been so inspired, I look for LV type items when I go thrifting now, thank you Linda.
Love bacopa hanging baskets, such a hardy plant. Awhh, those notes were precious.🌞
Weren’t they?
Oh that long basket! I'd fill.it with a variety of preserved moss. At Christmas, fill with ornaments.... even ornaments on top of the preserved moss. Same for Easter using pretty plastic eggs. I LOVE IT!!!
I can see bath salts or homemade milk bath with dry milk & flowers/herbs in the hyacinth vases & cork top.
Great idea!
Nice tip with the felt!

Fabulous!
That’s a great idea!
We actually take thrifting vacations. Thrift our way both way to our destination. So much fun!
Me too! And stop in the tourist offices on the way and pick up goodies, like local papers or brochures to thrift and craft stores in the area!
we do that too and have so much fun where ever we go
Baguette basket would be amazing filled w/succulents!

Easy to find thrifts if you just travel out into the country. Great small finds

Yasssss Linda! Salida is the best for thrift hunting. Sending love from Boulder!!!
Heading your way soon!
i painted mine wite and took paper cla and made molds around the top way cute for small flower grouping
I like the long basket for placing your bulb jars all in a row, used as vases for single flowers, moss around the bases.
I love all of your thrift finds, Linda. My mom was an incredible bargain hunter and thrift shopper so my sisters and I learned to enjoy the thrill of the hunt early on...
I have a copper 2 slice toaster which stopped working today. After watching your channel it occurred to me I could take out the inside and use it as a planter for my patio table this Summer. Six months ago I would have tossed it. Now I have a beautiful planter. Thanks for inspiring me to repurpose.
I would put moss and little succulents for a center piece. Maybe a few herbs too.
I loved this video Linda. The white porcelain urn would be good for breadsticks on the table. . The hyacinth jars would be good to take a clipping and root for friends. You could tie a pretty bow around it. The rest I would also plop plants in as you did❤️❤️❤️
Love those!!
I love the pottery pieces and I would also use to hold plants a plant that would cascade over the side
I have grandkids so I would put that long beautiful basket in the middle of a table covered with butcher paper and fill the basket with crayons for them to color with! 💜💚❤️
Great thrifting ideas, really enjoying your videos.
Love all of your creative ideas...you look great in bright colors!
You can line the strainer with landscape fabric. That would probably slow down the drainage.
The weather is definitely better over there.
That long basket would make a great table centerpiece filled with small pots of cyclamen, primroses, or African violets.

that long basket is so wonderful and your idea would be great to do. Carry on! Patti from Denver
You have such beautiful ideas! In the long bagget basket, I can see pieces of driftwood, live ferns, pieces of decaying branches covered in lichens, moss, and maybe some tiny flowers from bulbs and a candle here or there. It could be used as a dining table centerpiece or on top of a low bookshelf or coffe table, etc.

Precious thrift finds. Thanks for the close-up views and usage ideas.
Hyacinth vases: using a super duper adhesive I would try punching out their bottoms (a tricky biz, but doable) and stacking them to whatever height to make a lamp base. It could be a garden lamp. Don't know if they make solar lamp kits. You could add some fun beads on wire to camouflage the junctions between the vases if they come out funky and uneven. If there is a diaphanous waterproof spray paint, I would spray each vase a different color and place them on broken stalks of oakleaf hydrangea. I do that with different colored wine bottles and thrifted colored vases and it really makes a statement during the winter when my shrubs are bare.
