I haven't posted my finds lately.
It's been busy around here getting ready for Christmas.
We've been doing a bit of painting,
making garlands,
folding and glueing ornaments.
Last weekend, I found some wonderful things
tucked away in the back of a booth
at the antique mall.
There were also a few things that I'd "organised"
and hidden from myself
instead of putting them in my online shop.
I found these letter tiles zipped away in an old plastic bag
Tucked at the back of a booth.
Today, I took them outside
spread them out on my favorite tree trunk
and made words with them.
Merry Christmas

What an awesome find!
and
Tucked away, I found some things
that were from my trip to Dubuque, Iowa
a few months ago.
so much like the one my granny used to have.
Drawers from an old watchmaker's desk
The desk was beyond repair,
so we salvaged the drawers from it.
Love those oil cans and bingo cards (and the drawers; yes--I love them all!)--I love all the Christmas decorating too, but miss seeing all the "regular" goodies. I'm going to do my next few posts on my junk finds--I'm missing it! Have a great weekend.
ReplyDeleteThe flower pots are awesome! I paint flower pots for my yard. The stranger the shape, the better for me!
ReplyDeleteHave a wonderful Friday!

Thanks for stopping by and commenting on my decanter collection! You are so lucky to have found some at yard sales - never had luck with them there! Love your forgotten finds (I probably have some buried here and there too), especially the oil cans, drawers and cute bingo numbers. Following along!
