Decorating with Vintage Toy Trucks

    Aren’t they darling? My son had so many of those trucks. Did I see a future for them? No, I did not. Let that be a lesson to young mothers today!

    Those are all very fun, I have a fairly new, made to look old truck, perhaps I can put salt and pepper shakers on it for my hubby’s birthday tomorrow.
    Thanks for the great inspiration!

    I love these so much that I have been dreaming of a vintage truck as my dream vehicle for years! I need to at least get some of the small ones to out around the house:>)

    I love this idea! your trucks are so cute.
    I have 2 old trucks, a yellow pickup that belonged to my husband and a big Tonka dump truck that belonged to my boys. I’ve tried to decorate with them but it really bothers my grandson- he thinks all trucks are for playing and not for decorating.
