more upcycled garden goodness

A few posts back, I shared some ideas on how to use upcycled items on a garden bench. Well, are you ready for more???

Here goes...

 

 

I found this drawer divider at a flea market and it sat in the garage collecting dust. Then I hosed it off, sprayed it with a coat of sealer and it is perfect for my potting bench.

 

A thrifting adventure led me to this set of canisters without lids. No worries I had an idea...

 

I dug into my hoard of vintage glass frogs. Now I can gather my pencils and small paint brushes in one place!

 

Old glass containers with lids are ideal for storing dried seeds. I can keep them dry and it is easy to see what is inside.

 

Once my old cupcake tins start to get old or have any signs of rust, they get retired. Retired from their garden duties but then they're onto their new job in the garden!!! They are just the right size for sorting my seed starters.

 

I love my old vintage goodies so much!

 

Go through your boxes and bins of neglected vintage treasures, and give them a new life with a new purpose. It's addictive!
