Ditch the generic planters and boring garden accessories.  With a little imagination, those dusty thrift store finds can be transformed into one-of-a-kind masterpieces for your garden. Here's what to look for!

Baskets It doesn’t matter if they are large, small, or something in between. Grab whatever baskets you can. For decorating purposes, they make great planters if you add a plant dish underneath a container inside.

Vintage Crocks  Crocks are another great buy when you are thrifting around. I buy all different sizes too. You can use them for decor. And you can use them as a vessel for plants and flowers.

Dough Bowls  Never pass up a good dough bowl. There’s so much you can do with them. From displaying them with faux greens and flowers to potpourri or maybe some candles, vintage wood dough bowls are a great find.

Vintage Tool Box Makes a great vessel to hold plants and flowers. I've used it as a gorgeous table centerpiece for years!

Metal Pails, Bins and Buckets Old rusty or painted metal pails, bins and buckets make GREAT planter vessels.

Vintage Tins I love pretty vintage cans. They look so pretty displayed on their own. And even better with some plants or flowers in them!

Vintage Watering Cans, Jugs and Milk Bottles Those old metal watering cans are the best, aren’t they? I love how they look among plants and flowers.
