Fall chicken feeder and a winner...

OK, last Spring I found this pint size chicken feeder, I suppose for a pint size coop. It sat out in the garage all Summer waiting for me to finally get around to sprucing it up, and when we finally managed to organize all my various and sundry boxes and tubs of "stuff" this weekend, I figured now was the time to "Fallify" this cute little galvanized "potentially adorable" bit of randomness.




Here's the "Before".
I mean hey,
 look at that perfect little wire hanger already attached.



and...Perfect farm-y patina potential.



One thing I love about Fall decorating is that you can grab a bunch of miscellaneous floral "leftovers" and stuff it into almost anything and it works.




Of course,
 I knew it had to hang from my old chippy picket fence gate
on the sunporch.
More sunporch fun coming...




And the winner of the Tattered Goods
$40 Gift Certificate is....
congrats Pam!!!


Don't forget that Monday Marketplace is live all week.
Be sure and check in to see new items listed.

I'll be hanging out at these parties this week:

    LOVE IT Deb!!! AND I really really love that old bird cage. We had that very one when I was growing up. You've given me memories of our canaries and parakeets... I sure wish we had saved ours...
    I'm a bit behind due to computer problems. I hope to be joining your parties soon.
    Have a wonderful week,
    Hugs,
    Donna

    Debra, this is a perfect fall accent! You're right, you really can add fall accents to most any container and have a beautiful accent piece! Yours looks great!

    Amazing that a chicken feeder can be so beautiful but of course with you decorating it that comes as no surprise! :-) I'm waiting until both kiddos are in school to start my fall decorating and you are getting me so inspired!

    The chicken farmer would be clueless here BUT we are decidedly not. It is feeding me much inspiration to pay attention when I dig through old barns as I mine and Joe's habit. Love it(**

    How precious! Fall IS easy to decorate for. I also love how farm objects blend so well with our homes. A farmer boy once told me he could take any object at his farm and sell it at an antique store (he saw a screen door go for "$80." (!) ) KIDS! They speak the truth, right?

    Great idea! I had one of those feeders in my hand at a sale, but didn't know what I would do with it. Darn! I should have bought one.

    Hi Debra,
    Your chicken feeder is quite unique. I have a few, but have not seen one quite like that. Love it all Fallified. The gourds spilling out the bottom are so cute. Congrats to Pat on the win! Thanks for sharing with Share Your Cup.
