Garden Junk Haul -- Picture Heavy

My DH and I took a little trip over the weekend to Amish country in Lancaster, PA. We had a great time and for the first time we went to a barn sale. OH MY HEAVENS!! I had the best time! The three barns were filled to the brim with the best junk ever! We spent about two hours just pouring through things...could have stayed a lot longer, but the back of the van was full. If you ever have the opportunity to stop by one of these barn sales...GO! It was a blast! And the prices were unbelievably cheap!

Here are my treasures:

Toomuch...the wooden thing is a chicken coop. The kind that farmers use to move their chickens to the market or the fair. We plan to use it as a "coffee table" on our screen porch....may put a cushion on top so we can also use it as an ottoman.

I think the wheels would look great on the fence arranged as though they were cogs ready to run a piece of machinery, mix large and small. Those small ones above the pitch forks look somewhat like cogs.
