Hi Friends,
Today, I am pulling out all of the galvanized buckets from the garden shed, to be used for flower planter in the front porch area.
I've been collecting galvanized buckets one at a time all year, when I see them I normally try and pick them up if their under $5.00 for buckets.
I have also been picking up larger terra cotta pots when I can find them for under $5.00 . This brass bucket I have had for many year I usually place by the fireplace filled with pinecone I have gathered
I usually try and grow all of my plant from seed, however, this year our month of April and may have been cold rainy this year nights have been in the high 20's low 30's even my milk jug plants are a little behind.
I started sowing seed in milk jug the first week of May and these are the zinnias I planted over a month ago. Very delayed zinnias I'm thinking!
So I went to my local Wal-Mart and was pleasantly surprised that some of the lovely geraniums were half off, $2.00 a plant so, I bought a flat of ten geraniums
The weekend after the last day of school I dropped by my storage unit looking for items I could use for summer décor. I had for gotten about the wash tubs I had here is one of them.
The lovely wire potato basket and the large white enamel red trim wash tub I found at a auction many years ago and has been in my storage unit.
This is my summer front porch as of June 1st. I'm sure it I'll be changing a few things as the month of July moves closer. I might add a few flags I don't know quite yet, I think I need a focal point not sure what it should be.
I hope I have inspired you to use some of your vintage collection to decorate your home for the different holidays or season
I want to thank you for checking in , please check back any time, I'm trying to post at least every other weekend, with thrift hauls, vignettes of where I show off my thrifted treasures, and a few pic's of my seasonal decorating in and outside my home.
So, until next time......
May God Bless You and Your Family,
I'm Vicki a Colorado Junkett
