I have a collection of Vintage Sand Pails and Children's Watering Cans that I would like to show you. I have been collecting these for the past 10 years.
I keep this collection at our Vacation Home on the Colorado River in Parker, Arizona. "The River" is what us Southern Californians call it. Since we have a little beach out in front of our place on the river, I thought Vintage Sand Pails and Vintage Watering Cans would be a great collection to decorate with.
I have over 40 of these items. Most are from the 40s, 50s, 60s and 70s.
I also like to collect the Vintage Shovels.
I have them displayed on top of all the windows and doors in our living room there.
I made all the shelves myself by painting wood planks and buying wood shelf holders at Home Depot. Our decor there is red, white and blue, so I painted my shelves red.
When I have visitors there, and they get done looking at all the Watering Cans and Sand Pails, they can look below under the shelves out the windows and doors and this is what they see.......

Great sandpails. I just read an article about how these are becoming quite popular. Enjoy them and I hope you enjoyed your time at the river. We'll be there later this month!
This is a unique collection. I loved those little pails and shovels when I was a kid and when my kids were young. You have a neat way of displaying them, and I love the view.
