Do you collect them? How about bug sprayers?

Ive collected several diffrent kinds of tools for the garden,you can still buy them fairly cheap.
The antique garden show im going to tomorrow,hopefully will have lots of old garden tools and things for me to lug home...watch for pictures of our finds tomorrow night.
 bug sprayers.1 in copper,the other glass.
 these were bought for $1.00 a piece.

What's a collection of garden tools look like? Is it when my garden shed is full and also assorted boxes? If it is then I must be a collector. Dooley

Nice stuff. I collect old trowels, you can never have too many. Hubby brought home two really old ones and nailed them to the outdoor bench so they could be enjoyed without being used or lost. 
Love the watering cans.

I found some old garden tools in the barn at work that I prefer to use. At lot of times the oldies work better then the fancy new ones!
That kitten is precious Kat!

Quite an interesting collection you have Kat. Don't have any old ones myself.

That is a lovely collection of old garden tools.
I have several ... just ones of mine that have broken or been replaced with newer ones. I started to display them all on one of our trellis fences last year. I'm hoping to add to my collection when I go to garage sales this year.

Neat collection! Those are gardening shears hanging next to the hat? They look just like the hand-shears that I used to use on my lambies to get them ready for a show.
