It was a good day in the neighborhood when the maintenance guy brought a brand-new blade for it.
Teachers are easily pleased.
I have now forgotten what I was going to do with them and evidently forgot to pin the idea.
Enough said.
I actually missed this on Chucks and my Un-Valentine's Day thrift shop trip.
Chucks waited until we had loaded the truck and asked why I did not buy the hose clamp display.
Well, duh, husband of 34 years, obviously I did not see it.
He trudged back and bought it.
I will probably cut these up into metal scrap for projects.
BTW, that is a real studio photo of someone's real baby left in the frame.
Crazy!
A fish stringer. Remember all the bobbers I bought a month ago? Maybe a fishy garland.
I would not want to appear before Superior Court Judge Akers who gave away rulers with his name on them.
I am thinking bruised knuckles.
A star colander filled with bison vertebrae.
This guy looks familiar.
Anyone have a guess?
Maybe Lafayette?
Okay, all the odds and ends in this post, and tomorrow I will feature just the rusty, crusty, dusty stuff I found.
It is pee-turkey cold here, and I should not fuss since some of you are buried in snow and ice.
But I am complaining.
Sorry.
See y'all!

I would like so much such a pencil sharpener, I always look for them at the flea market, but I didn't find one yet. I am a teacher, too :).
ReplyDeleteHey Miss Donna;
ReplyDeleteGosh, you do find the Nicest things, in your travels!!!
I cant wait to see just what you do with the old metal frames, and other metal pieces.
Your display box is so nice, but the Gem is the Real piece of Coral....You might want to keep that, as it is now becoming Rare!!!! :-)
That Bust is just going to drive me Nuts!!! I will probably come up with a name for you, latter in the day....
Poor Dani......Bison Bones....LOL!!!!
Please tell Chucks, to use the Lovely Ice Cream Churn and make some Snow Cream!!!! ;-)
Take Care, and Please Stay Warm!!!
Great finds! I need to go junkin' with YOU!
ReplyDeleteHave a great weekend.
I always scroll through your found items wondering just what you will do with them!!
ReplyDeleteYour husband is the best if he can see some great finds you missed!
ReplyDeleteWhat great finds! I have a couple of colanders like that one and I still use them!
ReplyDeleteFun finds as always!
ReplyDeleteMy favorite is the ice cream churn....ah, the good old days.
Pee-turkey cold?
ReplyDeleteAre you amassing Madonna statues to care for the prior collection of Babies Jesus?
Danni will appreciate the bison body parts.
Cheryl in Wisconsin, where are you located? I'm near Madison, in Sun Prairie. Always looking for a fellow junker to talk junk with, exchange ideas, meet for coffee, etc.
DeletePee-turkey cold…Ha! That's one I hadn't heard before! It's so cold here with wind chill in the double digits below zero, I even chickened out on an estate sale in a town 25 miles from me today, and that's derned cold! Love all your finds, especially the pencil sharpener, being a retired teacher, of course.
ReplyDeleteWow, what a fun haul! I need someone watching my back when I go junking. Good thing you didn't leave that hose clamp display behind.
ReplyDeleteOMG! I want ALL of it for my new booth! lol! If you can't remember what you were going to do with those frames I can tell you that those sell like hotcakes in my Etsy shop! Rulers too!
ReplyDeleteTania
Great finds Donna! Thanks for stopping by, have a beautiful weekend!
ReplyDeleteYou are such a good picker for fun things for your booth. I think you may be able to make a glass display house with the frames if they are all the same size. I love the old pencil sharpener ... and I am not a retired teacher ... they just gives pencils a good sharp point.
ReplyDeleteI appreciate the one we have in the work shop.
Blessings,
Audrey Z.
Really great finds! I love those wire mesh boxes, and the colander. The pencil sharpener is cool.
ReplyDeleteOh my! We had a Boston pencil sharpener mounted to the wall in our home right next to the phone when I was kid! Um...you can keep the bones, but I am seriously coveting that piece of coral!
ReplyDeleteBison vertebrae! I love it! (er, them) Nice Madonnas too. It's always good when you can drag a couple of them home! Seriously cool finds.
ReplyDeleteGreat finds! I love going junking, just don't get to very often. My mother has an old pencil sharpener like that and still used it.
ReplyDeleteGirl
ReplyDeleteyou did find a lot of goodies
I use to have an old pencil sharpener, I'm going downstairs and Dig through boxes to see if I can find it
all of your finds are just wonderful...I think they would all be at home in my house
