Rusty, Crusty Finds That I Wish Were Mine

A rainy, day,
with no sunshine, 
should have kept me in.

I'm glad it didn't.

I was so in the mood to junk.

I'm glad I did.


Aunt Tique and Uncle Junk
(don't you just love the name)
had the rusty, crusty that floats my boat.

The green patina was beautiful!
It was more aqua and it would 
look great on a beach cottage mantle.


Same idea, but a medicine cabinet
with a mirror.


A little closer in so you can see the lock and key.


A barn door.
Some creative woman with a handy man
could do something with this.
I think it's a great door for a farmhouse bed,
or a farm table
with a little sanding of course.


A closer look at the hinges.

Love the smell of old wood.
It reminds me of my grandmother's house
and the smell of the fire in
the cast iron, wood/coal burning stove.

Seems like I remember Mama calling it 
the "pot belly," stove.

Uncle Junk said, 
"Take all the pictures you like."


The guy next door,
NOT!

The above cabinet is made out of a screen door
with the screen replaced with chicken wire. 

I snapped a shot before I asked. 
Oops.

Too late!
(sorry for the blur.)

All these rusty, crusty finds
were not to be mine!

However, loved the thrill of the hunt
and found lots of junk that I did bring home.
The backseat was full!

The trunk was already full!

To Be Continued, 

Bonnie:)

  13. I went in Habitat for Humanity's Restore on Friday to leave donations and came home with two things - - both excellent buys.
    Years ago, I about had my camera confiscated in Barbados when on a mission trip. I was taking pictures of the prices to show people how much more our friends had to pay for groceries when all of a sudden the manager was beside me asking questions. He thought I worked for a competitor! It took a LOT of talking to get out of there without losing my camera or the police being called!
