Junk Finds on a Friday!

Some days, things just come together.



Unexpected Fun!



That's what happened this past Friday. I got an unexpected day to spend with my Mr. OTM and we hit the junk trail!



It worked out great. I had sold a large cupboard that needed to be delivered



so once that was done.



We got to pickin!



Here's what we found......
the vintage glass front cabinet was a great and needed find...




french metal floral buckets.....


the color of this little old bench is perfect vintage aqua....






for some reason I am always drawn to canvas military bags...










the primitive bucket bench has the BEST old cracklie finish...






old mellow yellow side table...








these are some of the oldest (and cutest) embroidery hoops I have ever seen...













little old clothespins...full of character














the old stapler still works!





that big ole coil of wire fencing needs an awesome project...






unearthed some ironstone!!






And we'll end the show with a tour of the Eifel tower!



Sound good?
A good amount of these items made their way into my booth at the Sleepy Poet yesterday.



We did a huge make-over in that space as well.



Last one there is a rotten egg!

    Great minds think alike...I spotted that military bag right outta the gate!
    I heart that heart shaped bread bowl.

    P.S. I've been told I'm spoiled rotten...just hope I don't smell like a rotten egg!
