I went to my favorite junk sale today and got some great stuff!
Silver plated spoons - two for $1. I don't know why, but spoons in my house disappear with alarming frequency. Now I'm set for awhile. Kicking myself for not buying a few knives and forks.
Rusty casters with wooden wheels. I love these!
A whole bunch of rusted drawer pulls.
I also got a box of vintage sewing stuff, an old children's reading primer from 1911, and a very cool vintage Chinese checkers board, and a few other odds and ends. Great day!
Hey Shelly! Is this a regular sale location? Also, you must have a good storage place for those rusty wheels, etc.

What a great stash. Those rusty pieces are wonderful and by the looks of that table, you will be busy creating for a while!
ReplyDeleteDo they ship??? I Love your great finds, wish we had a junk store around here like that!
ReplyDeleteWow, you hit the mother load. I can't wait to see what you do with all thatgreat stuff. I think there's definitely a talent for shopping for antiques, a talent which I do not have mind you. I wish I did though. You clearly have a wonderful knack for it. BTW, I just love your work and I have for some time now. The prior post with the "masculine" piece is truly awesome. I love that look. Take care!
ReplyDeleteAwesone find. I love to shop at an auctioneer nearby. He keeps all the "junk" that doesn't go into the auction or doesn't sell and it's like a candy store. Of course we have to dig through the stuff, but doesn't that make it all the more fun? I pick up silver silverware too and bead them or turn them into wind chimes.
