You've got mail!

I grew up on a farm, we had a mailbox and that is where our mail was delivered to.  It was all the way at the end of the looong laneway.  Now that I am all grown up and live in town, we have a driveway, not a laneway and no mailbox.  I miss mailboxes, I am not a fan of the big ugly metal mail thing down the street that we have to go to get our mail from along with the whole street.  I like the old style mailboxes, I miss them. Needless to say I was thrilled to see these 2 ideas using mailboxes in the garden.  Really creative and handy!

The Mailbox Tool Shed
A weatherproof solution to keep your garden tools nearby. I really like this idea, it keeps everything small in one place, and out of the elements (most importantly rain). I like to keep my gardening stuff away from the garage, if its in the garage, its a free for all and something is always missing, and we don't have a garden shed.  This is a simple, easy and cheap way to keep your smaller garden tools close and in one spot.

The Mailbox Caddy
  Another great weatherproof storage idea.  This one keeps the tools even closer!  You can attach a mailbox like this to a raised garden or fence and have everything you need right there!  I like this idea because its out of the way and pretty well hidden.. there will be no garden tool thieves taking your stuff!  However, I do like the thought of dressing up the mailbox above with some morning glory vines.  Okay, both are very appealing ideas!
