I have never shopped at a thrift store… or many other stores for that matter. My brain can’t process the bounty on the shelves. I need things to be extremely organized by categories…. Grocery stores are fine, and my favourite store is Home Depot. Add to that one clothing and one shoe store, and that is about it for me. I send my husband for everything else 😂. He does not mind hunting around for the right find.
Walking through the trellis when the beans are grown will be quite magical. I can imagine your garden in summer,flowers blooming birds singing. Fabulous 🥰🥰
Agree, gardening is a great slow down. My neighbor loves to garden and got us to start our own with her help along the way. Watering the flowers and veggies in the morning before starting work put my mind in a peaceful, meditative state.
What a fun video going thrift shopping with you! That thrift store had a lot of treasures and I love that all proceeds go to help women and children get out of difficult situations. I'm so glad you bought the white plant stand. I had a green one exactly like that (I bought it at Kmart in the mid-1990s and it was called a Baker's rack at that time) and I have often regretted decluttering it. I used it in my pantry to store baskets and dishes but it makes a really beautiful plant stand. I can see it just filled with plants. I love your idea of an enchanted garden for your back yard.
I am also a gardener and find it very relaxing growing flowers and vegetables. I can’t wait to see your gardens 14:34 at the end of the season when things have matured and all your seating areas have been figured out. Have fun, Erica!
I have two of those white leaf plant stands. At this very moment, one is outside with seedlings I’m hardening off. The best feature is that they fold and store very compactly. They’re easy to move around, yet they don’t look makeshift. I got mine new about 20 years ago for $20 or $25. You’ll definitely get $30 worth of use and enjoyment out of yours!
The metal tray with the handle brings to mind the trays they used to use in Greece in the little cafes to deliver the coffees and glasses of water to stores closeby to the café... They have similar more modern ones now. 🤔 This one looks heavy though, so it mustn't be... Maybe for decoration or a catch-it-all on a counter? 7:03
This video I love it! Ike your vision for your enchanted garden. It will be pretty when you finish. I also liked watching you thrift at the store. Please do more of these videos it is relaxing and watching your vision come to life!
Gardening is the best slow practice! Meditation, exercise, critical thinking all in one hobby. I am missing the summers I used to have larger gardens here on our hobby farm. Greenhouses full of tomatoes and peppers. Companion planting flowers and veg. Fruits around our pond. It's all so spread out and takes so much time, it's a little difficult to do with our wee lad. This year I am trying to integrate more permaculture principles into our gardening. Our farm was a nursery business before we owned it, so things are more for display than function. I am trying to make a food forest out of the large display garden near our house. Enchantment is the vibe we're going for here too. Good luck on your quest! I can't wait to see what all your effort looks like by Midsommer!
I see a fairy garden in the enchanting backyard area in your future (maybe designed and maintained by your daughter?!). Thanks for taking us along today.
Looks great! I’m behind on planting but that’s what happens when you have an elderly mom with dementia to care, homeschooling, and working full time for my job.
I don't have a pool, but I do have a large front patio and a back porch with a roof. I have been thrifting for garden decor also. I really like what you bought.
Always enjoy watching you cultivate your garden so much, Erica. You take such excellent care of all of your plants and veg. Everything aways looks so lush and beautiful. Could the metal dish with the handle be a pastry dish? They are usually two or three tiered. But perhaps that's what it is?
The giant pop top on a shovel handle thing I believe I have seen on other channels on kitchen counters to decorate hot chocolate stations or decorative whatever..... Probably hobby lobby or target stuff.
I also go to a thrift store that all proceeds go for domestic abuse, it’s where I donate, and prices are higher then let’s say goodwill. Erica I just came in from planting my container plants and I was looking at herbs at Lowe’s as well. I live in South Carolina and spring is here 🌺🌞🌸 This was a fun video
I bought four dark bronze metal patio side tables at Bed, Bath and Beyond several years ago for $20 each. I understand they are going out of business so you might check there for your side tables.
Love your enchanted garden. If this is too personal, please ignore…did you purchase this home? I know a couple of years ago you were house hunting. I love this house and what you have done with it! ❤
Gardening great, weeding, on the other hand is not. I'm getting too old to give a flip. I might just container plant soon and left all else become "yard".
❤❤❤

🪵 That mystery item reminded me of something for a fireplace.

You have a good thrift store. I was yelling, oh blue cone flower casserole dish and blue corelle platter ❤️
You've got to get fairy lights! It will be magical!!
Great haul! You found some great stuff!
I love all those thrift store finds. Thanks for taking us along
Spring is such a welcomed sight! Thanks for sharing.🌺🐣

Your vision for an enchanted garden 🪴 is looking lovely. Can’t wait to see it unfold! Now I think I will go thrifting for some treasures of my own!
Right!!
❤❤❤ New subbie. So joyful to have found you.
Loved the thrifting trip 😊

I'm so glad you purchased the shelving at such a better value than the table. The items you asked about... they might be for vining things.
You could put small plants in lamps. A bit like a terrarium
My friend takes teapots and hang them in trees with spout down for birdhouses easy to clean at the beginning next year.

That's what I was going to say, too, just didn't know what it was called.

That's what I was thinking. I think it could hold small pots.

This was a fun video
Can't wait to get out in my garden. The cold has just not been wanting to break. Highs in the 40s in May here in northern Ohio.
you could make a small table out of the pedestal.
I love that painting.
This will be fun for you to create. Enjoy! I look forward to seeing it.
I bought four dark bronze metal patio side tables at Bed, Bath and Beyond several years ago for $20 each. I understand they are going out of business so you might check there for your side tables.
Beautiful!!
You could put a wood or glass round on the pedistal with plant in center for stability
Fun Erica! 💐🌾🌱
Love your enchanted garden. If this is too personal, please ignore…did you purchase this home? I know a couple of years ago you were house hunting. I love this house and what you have done with it! ❤
The Jeff Huldah print is worth about $300 ❤
Cherry Jeffe Huldah “Strolling” print. I thank you for identifying the artist. I looked at other of her works and enjoy this the most.
Love this video. Welcome back to PA. Hope your visit was a good one. Would you be able to share the name of the shop you were at? I am north of Phila.
What if you used your white pedestal and hot glued some type of flat ceramic circle charcuterie board and turned it into a small drink table ? ❤
Love and am excited for your vision! ❤️
I thought the pedestal was the base for a birdbath.
Hi Erica
Where do you guys eat outside??
They might make more sales if they lower the prices.
