| Yard sale finds summer of 2014 |
In May, I ran across a large yard sale offering plastic outdoor tables for free (above left). I decided to give it a try since we were looking for a table for our balcony. It turns out that plastic tables on a second floor balcony aren't such a great idea during a windy thunderstorm. Plus, the table is the wrong size to really be functional on a shallow balcony.
In June, I came across another yard sale around the corner from our apartment building which had a beautiful iron baking rack shelf on display. It just happened to be the perfect, last item we needed for our balcony. It not only looks nice against the brick wall, but serves a purpose: It's a great place to store extra pots, potting soil, and the little broom I use to sweep up after the birds sprinkle the balcony with birdseed.
