Well, if you follow my blog, you know this time of year is busy getting ready for Junk Bonanza! Thought I'd share a few of my finds and what I worked on today! This great cubby is a recent garage sale find! I like the curved legs! Look at all of these wonderful zinc jar lids...they wash up so pretty...
love the white glass interiors...
Today I found this old aqua green industrial beauty at a garage sale! It's a commercial mangle ironer.
Great chippiness, rustiness...and OH that color! I haven't cleaned it up yet, but should be pretty! Lots of makeover possibilities on this piece, too!
I found this big old tool tote and vintage gameboards at an antique store last weekend...the tote has the best chippy white and green paint...
Don't you love the galvanized banding?
Tomorrow's another work day...lots more pieces to get ready!
I am joining Debra over at Common Ground for
Vintage Inspiration Friday
Until next time...hope you have a wonderful weekend...
Your finds are great...love them!
ReplyDeleteYou always have such luck in your search.
Wishing you a wonderful weekend!
Hugs, Sharon

ReplyDeleteThis looks familiar. I collect chinese checkerboards and some of them are displayed in a rustic toolbox.
ReplyDeleteLove the cubby cabinet! You found some great things!

Hi Linda!
ReplyDeletelove all the photos of your junk! That cubby is so cool and the zinc lids DO look strangely beautiful, washed up in a dish pan and displayed all together.
My mom had an iron right in the garage of her house when she died. It had belonged to her mother...Dad gave it away when we cleaned out this house 6 years ago...I saw one last week at Bargain Land...and now seeing yours...these were white. I like the turquoise color on this one!
I can't wait to see what you do with it! Pat
Wow, you find the best stuff!! Good luck with your JB projects...can't wait to see your booth :) Laurel
ReplyDeleteI can hardly wait to see all the goodies you have at the sale. The pieces you highlighted today are wonderful!!
ReplyDeleteAmazing! I could use that little cubby in my craft room. Love it. Mimi
ReplyDeleteLinda,
ReplyDeleteYou are so lucky!!!! I love all your finds....but that cubby and those zinc lids are amazing!
Have blessed and wonderful blessed day.

have always wanted a mangle...and one that is aqua...oh, such wonderfulness...someone is going to be screeching with joy when they see that in your booth!
ReplyDeleteHope Junk Bonanza goes just fantastic this year, Linda. Suebee and I have vowed to make it there one year. We would meet up, obviously. LOL. Love those lids! I just got out of a movie, "Lawless" which dealt with prohibition and moonshine. They drank from Ball jars with those lids, but they were all clear Ball jars which I'm not sure was authentic. I always thought the older Ball jars from the 20s and 30s were blue. Anyway, I wondered where they got all the lids from! BTW good movie, but very, very violent! Don't work too hard. Ann
ReplyDeleteI really love sharing all your finds :)
