I posted some bad pics of all the treasures I scored at last week's estate sale shopping spree
here on my blog and on my
Facebook page. Well, I promised better pics, and they deserve them so here they are (there are a LOT of pics - happy scrolling):
 |
| Cute, right? I've been looking for one of these for awhile. |
 |
| Look at all those vintage bottle caps! Have to figure out a way to use them (or rather narrow down all the choices...) |
 |
| Vintage coffe cans - LOVE! |
 |
| Don't know what these came from originally, but they are rust, crusty, and B-You-T-Full! |
 |
| Will be using these for a frame or table top project. |
 |
| Love, love, love! More table top/frame projects... |
 |
| This sad little crate was thrown in to my purchase for free :) I've got plans for it. |
 |
| Modern Sewing - will our grandchildren be laughing at our 'modern' stuff? |
 |
| Vintage safety glasses - with real glass! :} |
 |
| More beautiful tins |
 |
| Grabbed this as soon as I saw it...filled with wood pieces, buried in the garage. It almost went into the dumpster - can you imagine? |
 |
| I don't know why, but I just had to have these. |
 |
| Cute! |
 |
| I know, you're wondering 'whaaaaaa...??' I have a weakness for tools, and Paul's saw is getting a makeover in the future... |
 |
| More weakness buys - miniatures. |
 |
| After some research, I thought this might be from the 30's, but after more research, it's most likely from the 50s. Still old and wonderful :) |
 |
| I can visualize myself writing my best-selling novel on this! |
 |
| I don't know why...it's cool. |
And that's all for now. I have so many projects now that estate sale shopping is put on hold for the moment. Or until I need another fix :)
Go forth and rescue something old and lovely!
Linking this up here:
I would totally fill old mason jars with those bottle caps. I have mason jars filled with all kinds of random things...bells, bottle caps...Stick a candle in the middle and use them to decorate a patio area.
ReplyDeleteLOVE ESTATE SALES!!!!! I'm so glad you found me!
GAW - now why didn't I think of that? I was stuck on doing something with them individually. Patio area huh? I might be cooking something up in that area ;)
ReplyDeleteEstate sales season is heating up here in Michigan - YAY!
