Best Garage Sale Find

 

I just completed this project.  I was

so tickled to find this at a garage sale.

Actually I was jumping for joy.  Have you

ever imagined just what you wanted??

and then found it at a deal! Nothing

makes me happier! 

Well I wanted to build a small cold frame

on the south side of the house

 for bunny greens, that

could grow without heating well

 into the colder months. 

 

 

So imagine my surprise when I saw

this sitting out at a yard sale.  I rushed over.

 The seller couldn't be talked down,

 so $30 it was.  Which actually was a deal,

 and it was all built! Not to mention

how much I love the quirkiness

of it being built from many old

house pieces.

 

 

Many panes of glass were missing

 and both ends were open.

 

 

Several coats of paint later, this

 is my little cold frame.

I replaced missing glass with

 plexi-glass. The front end uses

 one big piece of plexi-glass

that can be slid open to allow

 some air circulation and is held

in place with little clips.

 

 

 

I glued and repair the missing parts

on the  roof line- with wood pieces.

Just to add to it's cute, goofiness. I also

 caulked all the old and new windows.

 

 

 

And what Bunny veggie

 house would be complete

without a little plaster bunny

 I poured in one of

my candy molds. 

 

 

 

I'm eager to see how long the

 greens will grow in it this winter.

The brick wall and the chimney

 help to shield the winter winds.

 

I love a good find!
