(Read Lost and Found)
However I did find some things.
I have cleaned, sanded, and painted fifteen crates - will reveal the reason soon.
Thanks, Pamn!
She has been sanded but not painted yet.
The dresser, not Pamn.
A brass urn.
A binocular case.
A distressed metal file box.
All will be sold.
I plan to make small signs with some and sell the rest for customers to create their own.
The problem is the giant sticker of info on the back of each one.
It took thirty minutes to remove ONE!!!
They will not look like this for long.
Von!
He promises to bring me something special the next time he is in the neighborhood.
It might be real silver.
It does not matter - I am a sucker for engraved trays.

A saltine tin - keep.
A blue suitcase - paint.
Nassau Beach Hotel hanger.
An electric altar candle - even the votive has a bulb in it. Great details. I do not dare plug it in.
Found in the trash at an estate sale.
If some of the pics seem familiar, it is because I have gone to the dark side after being coerced by friends to join Instagram.
I am not quite sure what I am doing, but I have followers and people look at the photos on there.
See y'all!

What a wonderful bunch of finds! And you found some in the trash! It's so amazing what people will throw away.
ReplyDeleteI love that tray whether it's diver or plated !! Go figure , that awesome whisk broom and dust pan in the trash !?! Those are hot items now . Olive and I are VERY happy you joined us on the dark side .😏 TT
ReplyDeletetruly, the trash? cool! Did you do that on the sly ? or ask permission? I LOVE the tall skinny drawers...have been on the lookout for one of these. could you sand off the labels on the paint samples? Smother them with Goo-Gone? Good luck! Good finds !!
ReplyDeleteWow on finding those awesome items in the trash! Love the tray and the chest of drawers. I want one of those paint sample pieces, I'll email you! I'm still so happy Miss Peepers came home!
ReplyDeletehugs,

You always find great smalls that are fun and interesting- one day I will live closer and tag along if Chucks doesn't mind me squeezing in! LOL
ReplyDeleteExpecting to see some interesting makeovers!
ReplyDeleteI'm gonna by pass home on my next trip to GA and head straight to the SC!
ReplyDeleteGreat stuff Donna. What are you going to do with all those horse shoes? Something creative I'm sure. sb
ReplyDeleteYou found "some" things??? You found a lot of great things! Looking forward to seeing how you paint that fabulous dresser thingy. I am on Instagram too and don't know what I am doing. People like my photos but I am not sure why!!
ReplyDeleteUnusual electric alter candle. Have never seen one like that. Would be interesting to get it working again. Great stuff Donna.
ReplyDeleteGone to the dark side! lolol! It took me a long time to finally try Instagram, I still don't really know what I'm doing either.
ReplyDeleteLots of great finds this week! I have one of the cracker containers that I use too, it keeps crackers SO fresh!

Love all the finds. Just waiting to see what you are going to do with all the crates!
ReplyDeletexo Dianne
I always love all the junk you find.
ReplyDeleteThose cabinet samples are neat.If you're having a hard time taking the sticker off, can you cover it up with something else? Like a piece of brown paper that's on the back of framed pictures? That's gotta take way less time than 30 minutes a piece.
Woo Hoo for jumping on the IG bandwagon! Found and promptly followed you!
ReplyDeleteHave an awesome weekend, Donna!
