Since our online shop launched in April our vintage apple crates have been one of our best-sellers. Many of our customers are using these old wooden bushel boxes for storage – they’re a stylish and flexible alternative to modern “flat-pack” furniture and can be used on their sides or even screwed into the wall to create great rustic looking shelving units.

James will receive a £10 Mabel & Rose voucher to spend in our online store.

We’re now accepting entries for our November ‘Your Vintage Garden’ competition.

How To Enter

It’s simple – just take a photo of how you’ve used an item you’ve purchased from our online shop and email it to competitions@mabelandrose.com.

It could be a photo showing how you’ve planted up a vintage container you’ve recently purchased from Mabel & Rose, or perhaps how you’re using one of our products to decorate your home or garden. Your creativity is your limit!

The start date and end date for each monthly competition will be the first and last date of that month. You’ll be entered into the competition for the month during which your photo entry is submitted. The winning entry for each month will be announced in the Your Vintage Garden section of the blog at the beginning of the following month.
