Upcycled Vintage for Your Spring Garden!

Happy National Gardening Day!!! 

The beauty of a garden is that it is personal!  You can do what you want with your garden!  So why not put a personal spin on it?  How about using some vintage beauties in your garden?  Or what about a fairy garden?  At the end of this post are some great projects for National Gardening Day compliments of three of my talented blogger friends. 

Add a Little Vintage

Our new deck is stained and the furniture in place (until I rethink this for the one hundredth time)!  Time to upcycle some of my favorite vintage items to put my stamp on this space! Do you remember this guy?  He was one of the first items on the deck back in July when it was newly constructed.  I think he needs an update.  Do you agree?  

I am all about using your favorite things to decorate.  Who said you need to use all of those favorite things indoors?  Let’s update this vintage dump truck for our new garden deck!   Just grab some plants from your yard!  You know my mantra…use what you have to decorate!  Add to it when you can.  But, start now with what you have!  You will amaze yourself. 

What’s in YOUR Garden?

I grabbed plants from around the yard that are just starting to awaken along with spring.

And of course, succulents!

You simply use a small garden shovel to dig up some of these beauties from around your garden and transplant them into an interesting vessel.  Like the enamel pan above or a vintage toy truck. Or a vintage aluminum coffee pot. Or place fresh cuttings into a mason jar.  Simply plop them into a new container of your choice.  The odder, the better!  And vintage is always good!

A New Look for an Old Truck

I went a little LARGE with the height on these plants.  But this truck is super cool so she deserves some BIG bling!

Isn’t she refreshing?  And she is so ready to shine.   I’m joining a few friends for a Spring Garden hop in honor of National Gardening Day.  Let’s see what they are up to!
