Antiquing
My older brothers bday is
the 23rd.
Ray will be 60.
I wanted to set out and find
something special
to turn into a clock.
So off I went antiquing!
I love windows.
and clowns!
I actually considered these
for a clock. The bigger one was
priced at 28.00. It would
make a cool clock for over
the fireplace but it was not
really what I was looking for.
So I past it by.
Pretty.
Loved this piece below. It was
heavy too. I was thinking for
my kitchen but at 45.00 I
decided I did not need it
that bad.
This is a tad strange!
And this was a tad stranger!!!
Okay, this one was not as
bad as the one above.
Melmac....did you ever eat off this?
Not sure I ever saw it in pink though.
Took this pic and text it to
my friend Theresa...
she is from Ky.
But for 75.00 she said
she did not need it that bad.
I love antiques.
But I did not find
what I was looking for.
I was on the search for
a rusted round saw blade
or an antique camera that
I could turn into a clock.
So...now I need to make
him a wooden clock
I guess.
Now....I had been on the
search for a baby bed spring.
The last one I got I picked
up at an antique store
for 5.00.
Did not find one on my visits
the other day but on the
way home from feeding
my brothers cat I past one
thrown out by someones trash.
Yep....I got it.
What was I needing another
one for?
I pulled this pic from the
internet to show you what
I want to use it for.
The one I got before has
made an awesome trellis
in the garden.
This one I found will work
great to hang my pots on!
There are those days that
I really do feel this way!
haha
Thanks for stopping in,

I turn 60 this year just like your brother. The camera or saw blade would have been cute as a clock. You'll have to share what you make. Always fun to ramble thru a thrift or antique store. I like the springs for a pot holder!
I like the crib spring idea, yep, I may have to go there.
As for the baby crib spring...now, who'da thought of a trellis!?!! That idea is genius. I have a few circular saw blades in the garage. Too bad you're not near me. But on second thought, Bud would probably protest the idea.
Boy howdy, I'd LOVE to go antiquing with you.
Enjoy the rest of these June days.
