This has nothing at all to do with my patio, but it is my bargain birdbath that I got for $10.00!Must have happy birdies!
NO, this is obviously not my patio. BUT I just had to share my very HAPPY HOSTAS growing outside my porch. Exciting huh?
A kind of full view of THE PATIO.
These fabulous wicker chairs came free from our friends Gwen and Tom, who found four of them on the roadside and generously gave us two! How cool is that? AND I just spray painted them brown and they are as good as new! YAY!
Never did find a bistro table- yet...but I did find this great serving cart for $3.00 at the flea market. And a can of white spray paint has given it new life! Yes, I LOVE a bargain!
My favorite HENS & CHICKS!
So there you have it folks...my Poor Man's patio! I call it that cause, well, at the moment we are rather poor but thanks to some wonderful friends we were able to pull it together.
And now I would like to thank all my generous friends who made it possible. Thank you to Rick for your wheelbarrow, Tom and Gwen for the wicker chairs and brick chisel, Eddie for the gas tamper and ALL the wonderful FREE brick, Eric for his hand tamper, Bogie for the use of his truck to get the sand, George for your helping hands and advice, and my dear, crazy hubbie for all his hard work and patience.
Kinda feel like I won the grammy award....heee heee! OK enough silliness.
Hope everyone is having a great week!

Darcy: The patio is lovely and, you know what? In my opinion it's even lovlier knowing that you found such fabulous bargains. Instead of having a boring, predictable suburban patio, you now have a comfy space full of charm. And that...you can be proud of!!
