Decorating My Patio with Flea Market Finds!

Hi Everyone!
On thing I love about summer is going to flea markets.  It's hunting for bargain's, dragging them home and doing something unique and creative with the "finds".  I call them "finds", as it sounds better than junk!!    Would you like to peek around my patio today and see some of my finds?
This old lantern was one of my latest finds.  I tied a flag onto it for the 4th and hung it on the patio.   
The lantern actually works.
As you can see it adds a fun glow to the patio after dark! 
Another find was this old pot.  
I planted some succulents in it and added an old broken clay pot for some added interest.
This old box was another find.  I set it on a metal stool. filled it with some goodies and use it as an end table.
Next find was an old lampshade.  I tore off the old fabric which was nasty and since it was for outside all I wanted to use was the frame anyway.  I just love it!
It lights up my patio after dark, making it so warm and cozy. 
How about a game of tick tack toe!! 

Some of my favorite summer memories are spent on the patio with family and friends.   

Stop by again!
Blessings!
Bev
