An old bird bath got a new centerpiece by waterproofing an
inexpensive piece of African Art we found at Pier One. We bought a terracotta
flower pot base with a hole in the center and screwed in the statue. Then we sprayed
it with a waterproofing material we found at Loews. We added some rocks from
the dollar store and spread them around the base and then placed it in the
center of the birdbath. It seems to be holding up well with all the rain we have been getting in the northeast. This was a very easy and enjoyable DIY project.

While riding downtown Philadelphia with a friend, we saw a craft fair
going on at 30th St Station. We
brake for anything
artistic. There we met Charlene Heard, of WUNOF Creations (pronounced "One
of") . Charlene is a talented artist with a passion for preserving
natural resources and re-purposing objects. Her colorful creative works are
truly ONE OF A KIND. Check her out on ETSY @ WUNOF Creations.
For the first time the Brooklyn Flea launched flea market outside of New York City in
Philadelphia on June 2, 2013, at The Piazza in Northern Liberties. Just like
the original Brooklyn Flea Market, the Philly market will have dozens of vendors selling antiques and repurposed furniture, vintage clothing,
collectibles and so much more as well as crafts by local artisans and designers, plus delicious
fresh food. For the market location and directions, check out their website. www.brooklynflea.com/philly
