Mantiques--Dudes like to shop, too--ya know!

 After my White on Time post a few days ago, I still had tons of photos leftover from my trip to Through The Garden Gate. I realized that after sorting photos just how many mantiques TTGG carries!

Don't let the flowers fool you--look what you can do with some galvanized buckets!

Old plow parts become almost flowers on the salvaged barn wood structure she has in the shop. Her husband built it for a larger than life Crèche last year for Christmas. 

She has reinvented many times since then. Once as a chicken coop, a Cow Girl's hang out, and now a Garden Shed.

I don't know about you, but I love flower frogs. I've got quite a few glass ones, but none like these.

I love how the light pours through the shop's front windows.

Here we go--MANTIQUES--you know old crusty, rusty, chippy, peely tools, and liscense plates, saw blades and more!

You and the burley one in your life would be happy here!

Heck with this set-up you could almost stay the night! I love this picnic table. I really wish it could come home with me! It is two pieces so you can use just one side flat up against a wall or both together as a traditional picnic table. It also converts into two park benches and folds flat for storage!

Check back soon for very exciting news, plus the eShop should get up and going very soon, too. More photos from Maymont, a tutorial on my cottage chic vent hood as seen in my kitchen remodel, plus lots more!

Until next time,
