Hello and Happy Friday.
Today I am going to show you a Vintage Schwinn bike I found on FaceBook MarketPlace. I plan on putting it in my garden by the she shed.
I am also going to show you some of my vintage garden bikes from the past.
 |
| This is the sweet little deal I found on FB Marketplace. It is an old Schwinn that is pink and white and rusty in all the right places. |
 |
| It has all the original things on it. The bell on the handle bars and the old light and wire basket. I was so excited to find this and talk the guy down on price and get it for my garden. |
 |
Look at that sweet bell on the handle bars. It works too! Love all the vintage parts are still on this and original to the bike.
|
 |
| This is my white bike when we lived in Junk Chic Cottage number One. Loved the blue and white flowers. |
 |
| This was my blue bike in my garden setting from JCC # 1. |
 |
| Loved this vintage cream bike I had on the deck with flowers in JCC #2. |
 |
| This is my vintage bike that was inside JCC #2. |
 |
| This is my bike in the front garden of my JCC#3 home. |
 |
| I cannot wait to get this one fixed up for JCC#4 this year. The only thing missing on this bike was a seat. Not sure if I will try and find another seat or just put overflowing flowers in a basket on the back of the bike. It will overflow where the seat would normally be so it will not be missed. |
 |
| Started to go to my favorite Garden Shop for my flowers. I have gotten some but they are going to have to go into the garage tonight with the fear of really cold weather. Hopefully by Sunday the weather will begin to warm up and I can hopefully start to plant this coming week. |
 |
Have a wonderful weekend and Happy Mother's Day.
May we all begin to see improvement in our states from the virus and the weather all around the US will begin to get warm and stay warm.
Happy Mother's Day to all of you wonderful mom's and grandmother's and Furbaby mom's.

ReplyDeleteI wish we lived close by. You are inspiring me to do something with my old white vintage bike but GRRRR Mr. R. doesn't want me to put out too much. It would be PERFECT in our garden!
Each styling you have done is exceptional. What works here is the abundance of colors you have oozing from the baskets and I know you are going to have something very special for your new pink and white beauty! BRAVO!!!
Good morning, Kris! I have my vintage Schwinn bike from when I was a little girl in my garage. I usually put it amongst the lilies growing beside our patios and then fill the front basket with flowers. Never got around to it last year, but this year I will. Thanks for the reminder! It's crazy how cold it is today and will be all weekend. It feels more like March! Have a good weekend and happy Mother's Day!
ReplyDeleteI had a very small child's bike with no seat and used a basket that I filled with plants and it worked beautifully, Nice find!!!
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun find. I love it. Can't wait to see it all set up.
ReplyDeleteHow special you found the pink and white vintage bike. It is will look adorable near your Shed Shed. Lots of pretty flowers surrounding it and on it. Your other bikes look so fabulous. What happened to them? Xoxo
ReplyDeleteWhat a great find....and it is pink.....love that!!! I can't wait to see it over flowing with flowers next to your she shed.
ReplyDeleteHappy Mother's Day.....

Great find! That's quite a parade of bikes you have decorated. This one is sweet!
ReplyDeleteFirst of all, Happy Mother's Day! Love your new bike and enjoyed looking at past bikes all decked out with beautiful flowers. We are expecting a freeze tonight which means the Urban Farmer will be covering everything that can't be brought into the garage. I fell on our driveway a week ago so I'm no help at all. Asking for prayer for my neighbor Karen who did a face plant in our local Meijer store yesterday. She said her mask was covered in blood. Probably will be sporting a couple of black eyes. Enjoy your Mother's Day weekend! xoxo
ReplyDeleteLove all of your previous bikes and this one is going to be wonderful! Happy Mother's Day.
ReplyDeleteI love your new bike Kris. I know you will have it looking beautiful in no time and I can't wait to see it covered in flowers. I enjoyed looking at your past bikes too. Have a wonderful Mother's Day.
ReplyDeleteWhat are the pink flowers in the next to last photo? You always make these vintage bicycles look beautiful. I don't think I have room for one more thing on my patio so I won't be looking for one. Happy Mother's Day! I guess we won't get taken out for lunch this year, huh?

Happy Mother's Day to you too, Kris. What a sweet bicycle. I can't wait to see it all planted up! What became of your other bikes? I'm guessing you had to sell them? I was looking at my curb rescue bike the other day. I still need to repaint it. I got lime green to paint the studio door so I just may do that to my bike...not sure yet. I hope your weather warms up to stay soon. I'd be going crazy if I wasn't able to garden right now!
ReplyDeleteHugs
OH Kris! That bike is SO perfect! Wonderful find! It's going to look so great in your yard...
ReplyDeleteSorry but no way that would go in my garden lol . . . I'd be riding that baby all through town! That's a real beauty!!
ReplyDeleteLOVE the bike! Can't wait to see it laden with the gorgeous flowers you grow! Happy Mothers Day dear friend.
ReplyDeleteLOL, as soon as I saw the bike, the first thing I thought of was you putting a basket for a seat filled with flowers. Imagine how gorgeous and different that would be!
ReplyDeleteCan't believe the weather.
Hugs,
Cindy
Love the new bike! It’s going to be so cute with your flowers planted on it! We’re getting on and off snow today ( fortunately it’s melting) and very cold temps at night expected. It’ll be thru Tuesday yuck!
ReplyDeleteVery sweet find, Kris. Can't wait to see it spilling with flowers. Happy Mother's Day! xo
ReplyDeleteAh! That is great! Really looking forward to seeing it after you have planted it all up, when your weather improves. Thank you for sharing your previous bike photos, I always loved how you did those too. Happy Mother's Day Kris, even though in lockdown - your girls will be with you in spirit. Hugs, Gilly x
ReplyDeleteomg..great find...Can't wait to see you jazz it up with your flowers...you have such splendid style..love it..Thanks for sharing and Happy Mother's Day weekend to you.
ReplyDeleteWhat a fantastic find, Kris. It will be beautiful with overflowing flowers. xo Laura
ReplyDeleteThat is a sweet pink and white bike! You really know how to take these old bikes to an art form. I love the one in front yard of JC 3, especially how you have the plants going down over the rear wheel. Happy Mother's Day to you, Kris. Tell Buddy to give you a big kiss!
ReplyDeleteI've loved your garden bikes, can't wait until it is in full bloom!
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful bike! I love how it looks,
ReplyDeleteI also have a pink garden bike, it is very precious to me,
All the best,
Hugs, Ida
LOVE that bike, Kris. I have to bring mine over from the old house and I will need to spray paint it again this year as it is starting to look pretty bad. I have always loved all your bikes and you do a beautiful job with them. xo Diana
ReplyDeleteJust popped over after seeing your lovely comment on Nana Diana's blog. Your bicycles and especially your flowers are just breathtaking!!!! You certainly have a creative eye and a HUGE green thumb!!!! You mentioned cottage #4...do you like to move alot??? Well, I'm off to read more of your lovely blog. Happy Mother's Day.

ReplyDeleteHello,
ReplyDeleteThis will be fun to see what you do with the bike.
I just love all your ideas Kris, your outdoor space is going to look so lovely, I can not wait to have a tour.
Happy Mother's Day to you, Carla
Kris
ReplyDeleteLove this sweet bike and look forward to see how you style it!! I am dying to go and buy flowers but it is too early here and we actually had snow in the higher elevations here in Saturday!! Since I only bought basics last year because of my knee surgery, I hope to experiment more this year with my flowers...Happy Mother's Day!!
Hugs,
Debbie
Love all the bikes! Every year I keep saying that I am going to fix up a bike and make it pretty and never do. I am quite sure one of my girls old bikes is laying around somewhere.....Now I just need to look for it! LOL! Hugs and blessings, Cindy
ReplyDelete...and now I need a bike!! Hahaha! Of course, then I'd need you to come and style it!! Yet another reason I wished we lived closer! xo
ReplyDeleteI love all of your garden bikes! They are all so creative and so pretty.
ReplyDeleteWow, you have had a lot of vintage bikes which I assume you must of left behind? I would not of let one of them go and would of lined them up to form a fence of sorts. I have even seen old bikes used as a porch railing. I have one that is bright red. I am not so much a red person so it waits patiently for me to change the color. I am inspired after seeing your beautiful bikes.
ReplyDeleteWhat a find! I love garden bikes and yours are always wonderful!! Happy weekend.
ReplyDeletehugs,
