Blogiversary Week, Day 5 - Vintage in the Garden

As many of you know, I am crazy about vintage.  I collect many vintage items such as party goods and decorations, holiday (especially Christmas) decorations, kitchenware, linens, milk glass, flower frogs and this list can go on and on.  I like to incorporate vintage in my gardens too.

My chippy chickens look right at home at Red Gate Farm.


















A birdhouse my husband and son built me, out of our old barn boards, for Mother's Day.


















Some vintage fencing for plant support and backdrops.























My fantastic vintage lawn chairs.























A bench my dad made for me, also out of our very own vintage barn boards.


















A cute child's chair, turned into a flower pot holder.























An old milk can becomes a bird bath.























And I want to share my vintage love with you today....




















today's giveaway addition is a vintage flower book, cute vintage metal flower pot, vintage flower frog (I love to use mine to hold up cards too) and a unbelievably cool, vintage inspired flowered garden hand tool.

Hoping to inspire a little vintage in your garden,
Chris at Red Gate Farm

  13. Yipee ... another FUN day at Red Gate Farm! I'm still drooling over all your photos! I love how you've incorporated so many rustic & vintage items into your garden! It adds so much personality and charm and makes it ONE OF A KIND! We have some old farm implements & tools (hubs likes to collect those) but just don't have any room in our urban garden to display them. SOMEDAY I say! Enjoy your weekend! xox (February is just around the corner)!!!!!

  18. Hi Sweetie...
    I love vintage everything. Such a beautiful giveaway and this book is TDF.

    Now I love the way you took that childs chair and turned it into a planter. Oh does that scream HAPPY? I love it.

    Love the chippy rocking chair of yours. I remember them in such beautiful colors and have been wanting a red one of my very own. I keep looking. Looks gorgeous.

    That bird house that your husband and son built is just beautiful. I love it, and it looks so pretty. Then to be made from barn boards makes it all the more special, as well as your bench.

    Beautiful share sweet friend. Just beautiful. Please enter my name again into the drawing. I love each piece you keep adding. Someone is going to be very happy.

    Have a gorgeous weekend sweetie. Country hugs and much love, Sherry

  22. Your chippy chicken is adorable. You're probably a lot closer to Spring than we are in Ohio, but all you pretty Summer pictures are making me want to pull out some seed catalogs.
