vintage galvanized goods

I have been drawn to galvanized, industrial and vintage gardening goods ~ 

for as long as I can remember.

Vintage garden sprinklers being among my favorite finds.

I recently found the yellow digger & red hoe. Paid a dollar for each.

Vintage clothes pins and pulleys are a visual guilty pleasure for sure.

More vintage lawn sprinklers and hose nozzles.

Ok, I gotta come clean... no seriously, I finally spent an entire day deep-cleaning my backyard gardening bench and storage sheds for the first time since last summers freaky haboobs. Trust me, this 56 second time-lapse YouTube video will shock you. 

I am not kidding, everything pictured on this post was covered in a thick layer of dirty, powdery dust. Even though I tried cleaning before, I learned the hard way that it can take weeks, if not months for that kind of dust storm to settle.

And the best part of cleaning? Finding favorite finds that I forgot I had found! 

Who knew I had four rake-heads ~ which I will proudly hang my vintage gardening tools on, once they are hung on my backyard wall. 

And my motivation for taking on such a dirty job? My daughter Miranda and I are hosting a Twins Baby Shower in my backyard for my daughter-in-law Nicole this Saturday morning. 

SO excited!
