Welcome to 2nd Time Around! Please create a post showing off your second hand treasures, and link to Mr. Linky below.
As I’ve mentioned before, one of my favorite things to hunt for at garage sales, thrift stores, etc. is accessories for my porch. This basket is from Southern Living at Home and was only $1.00 at a yard sale! The original cost was 19.95. The piece has been discontinued, so I’m glad I found it!
This photo was made last summer…you can see how huge the elephant ears are outside the porch. I moved them early this spring because they were crowding out my shrubs, and obstructing the view of the wooded area behind the porch.
I will be taking a little break from blogging for a couple of weeks, so I won’t host 2nd Time Around until the end of June. Mr. Linky is so temperamental, and I hate to schedule a post with him if I can’t check on it!
Thanks for understanding!

That hanging basket is very neat. I like it and I like those flowers in it. Have a nice break and see ya later in June!
I really like the basket, Diane and I know the quality is good since it is a Southern Living at Home item. Have a great break! Christine
Well, I just found you and now you're going on a break! ;) Enjoy! And I love your little hanging basket. It looks great.
Hi Diane, as always I do love your sweet basket and flowers. I have a couple of those that are now rusty. A paint job and wallah! All new again.
Enjoy your break Diane. I am going to try to post but it may not happen. It is late and this hotel has a laundry. Guess what I am doing?
We won't be home until June 21st. I won't be posting anything the last week. We will be in a remote cabin the last week so no computer. I will enjoy the bloggy break.
Until next time...Hugs, Jeanne
Another great deal! And it looks so pretty. Have a great couple of weeks. laurie
thats just a wonderful deal!!! I need to hook up to this soon, Cindy
I enjoyed your post. What a deal! Thanks for letting me join you today. I posted twice. The first one is wrong because I had the link back to my site and not straight to the post for your 2nd Time Around. This is just the second time that I have done this. I don't know if you can remove the first one or not. Thanks for the fun!
Your hanging basket is adorable. I have one like that that I use during the holidays to put greens in. I'm bummed (for me)that you are going away for a while, but I'm happy (for you) that you get to go on a fun vacation. Have a great time!!!

love your basket and the flowers are arranged so nicely, I find that tricky to do, in fact I have arranged two vases today and was pulling my hair out!
anyway I'm in for second time around, mine is old tin cans made into a vase...things are serious when you start recycling your recycling lol!
happy thrifting

I love looking at thrift shops/garage sales etc for anything gardening related too. Your white basket filled with flowers looks fabulous!

Hi Diane, sorry for the late entry; I love that basket. I wish I can snag one for a dollar! I've imagined many a days where one would look so cute on my front door, but then I visit a store that carries them and my wallet screams! LOL
Thanks for hosting! Off to visit more of your posts, I'm still catching up on everyone. So many great bloggers out there... whew!
Just came by to say hi..
Hope you have a good break and I will get my 2nd time around things ready for when you get back.

Hi, Diane, hope you're having a good summer. Wish I had time to play in all the Linky parties, looks like you are busy with thrifting too.
