Vintage Gardens

Welcome to the Vintage Gardens Blog Hop

organized by Amber of Follow the Yellow Brick Home .

You may be visiting me after stopping at Poofing the Pillows -

a visit with Stacey is always fun.

Welcome to our garden - this time of year, if we're not on the beach then you'll find us in the garden.

I might be reading

or we might be diniing al fresco.

Steve spends most of his garden time right here on the Group W bench*.

One of my favorite vintage pieces in the garden is this rusty old table.

I bought it a local antique store to pair with cast iron chairs - hand me downs from a friend who was moving to the mountains.

The metal baker's rack has seen better days, but I still love it - found at a local thrift shop.

The Group W bench* was a freebie from a neighbor who asked us if we would take it off his hands.

This $1 rickety wood bench has been in the garden for years,

but it got an update a few months ago and now it adds a fun pop of color to the wall of ivy.

The chair was a street find - no seat, but I had the perfect sized basket in the attic.

The ladder was a thrift shop find, but grandpa's garden tools are truly vintage

as is his old watering can.

His pitchfork makes a great hanger for the old sap bucket and adds height to the garden.

This little antique store ladder is a favorite and I tend to move it all over the garden to hold plants.

I love the old wheelbarrow, another street find, because the flowers add color against the back fence.

Steve found this little rocker on the street the other day - don't know what I'll do with it or where I'll put it,

but it will fit right in with all the other old junk in our garden.

Before I send you off to visit Shannon at Belle Bleu Interiors, I thought I should explain the meaning of "Group W Bench".

It's a line from the Arlo Guthrie song, Alice's Restaurant and it refers to the bench where they sent all the crazy people during draft induction.

And now it's time to check out the rest of the blogs on the vintage garden tour.
