Last week I showed you the chippy metal toolbox that I bought at the farm sale.
I didn't really know what I was going to do with it when I bought it, but I knew it probably wouldn't be for its original purpose.
I spruced it up a little bit with some yummy hydrangea.
And I found some ornamental kale on clearance for $1.00 each. Or is it cabbage?
I'm not good with my vegetables.
The pumpkin that came with the toolbox came in handy. Maybe Sears should run that promo - Buy a toolbox, get a pumpkin.
Why I never worked in marketing, I will never know. The marketing gurus know, I just don't know.
I am pretty sure my husband will think this is an embarrassingly girly way to use a toolbox, but hey, it's fall and I'm in a chippy toolbox frame of mind.
What do you think, should I chuck the flowers and just throw some wrenches and pliers in it?

I think it's gorgeous!!! And looks super-adorable the way it is!
I have a wooden tool caddy like that; I actually MADE it myself in 7th grade wood shop. Yes. I still have my tool caddy project from grade 7. I use it to carry my gardening tools and gardening gloves around when I'm outside. It looks way cooler that way. LOL!

The tool box is precious! The hydrangas and cabbage/kale look wonderful in your vignette!

The colors of the cabbage and the hydrangeas go so well together. Love your autumn display in the tool box.

Much prettier with the flowers instead of the having a Wrench Box. You could call it a WENCH box seeing as you are using it yourself...just sayin.... OH..BTW-Your photos are gorgeous. If our hydrangea looked like that in late season I would leave it go too...ours goes from white to green to rust. xo Diana

Very pretty! I love the color of your hydrangea with the cabbage Pam-enjoy! (At least I think it's cabbage, but this has been one of those days... so I'm questioning everything:@)
