New vintage garden goodies!

Well I have at last got around to photographing some more vintage items for the web site, as always these have been hand picked by myself & Col, & we have made sure that everythinhg is in great vintage condition, with this I mean that although our items are full of vintage charm with some wear & tear from loving use over the years they are all still in full working order & have plenty more years of pleasure in them for a new home.

This fantastic vintage 2.5 litre galvanised watering can will make a keen gardener very happy indeed, they are hard to come by now all intact with the copper rose but this is a cracker, in the summer months when it will be in full use it will look great simply stood by a flower bed or on the patio, in the winter months we do advise that you store them in a shed or indoors as heavy frosts can make the bottoms of them 'belly' if they have water in them from any rain fall.

Coming soon.....These fantastic vintage coat hooks are made from old teak doors which were no longer in use, how perfect to use the great character of the wood instead of throwing it away or burning it, teak is a very durable wood & requires no oil or treatment when used outside, so these hooks can even be hung outdoors if needed although I thought they would be a fantastic addition to a potting shed.

This I need some help with! It is Dutch & I bought it as I thought it would make a really great handy water butt in the summer months, but I do not know what its original use is, Col thinks it may be from a milkmaids yoke which makes sense but it is my natural reaction to disagree with him!! Anyway they do work well as a water butt with a lovely vintage feel.
