Garden Junk
Great garden junk--watering cans, birdhouses, garden paintings, fences, trellises, birdbaths, pots and vases, garden hats, plus old fashioned garden gates--all photographed in blooming gardens! Not only are there rescue ideas and inspiration, but lessons on how to moss a floor, make over rusting garden furniture, make art out of an old push mower or a garden gate, how to constuct a gardener's bullentin board and lots more! "From Arles with Love" is my favorite chapter filled with sunflower junk art. If you can't own Van Gogh's sunflowers, you can fake it with inspiring junk masterpieces!
