Vintage Milk Crate Love
In honor of Earth Day, I have the easiest upcycling, recycling project ever.
For Earth Day...this milk crate was retrieved from a dump and given a new life.
As far as ease go, all you have to do is tilt the milk crate on it's side. Done!

I recently came across this fantastic vintage metal milk crate. When I say came across, you probably envision me in this cute little antique store, eyeing all the vintage goodies, just deciding which treasure I should take home.
Years ago, there were no public landfills as we know them today, if you lived on a farm and had trash you dumped it somewhere on your property or somewhat nearby.
It must have been because the leaves were off the trees, or because it was a beautiful day that I strayed a bit farther than I normally do away from my pancake barn.
As I got closer, I noticed it was indeed my dump. I had searched near my barn before, but never quite so far away.
What caught my eye was this great milk crate, half buried in the dirt. I didn’t expect it to have it’s bottom, but when I pulled it out I was pleasantly surprised to find it intact.
