Friday Finds August 9
I've discovered a 'new to me' little antique shop. Every time we go visit hubby's folks I drive his mom to the antique stores. She knows everybody there, but that doesn't seem to help me get a discount. Here is the place snapped on my phone and the loot.
This is what I did with my little teal vase and sewing machine drawer. I'm sure his mom was thinking I was an idiot for paying $18 for that drawer, but I had to have it. There were 2 old bed springs, and I mean old, that had a price tag of $9. I couldn't remember how I had seen them used but I really wanted one. However, not enough to pay that much. I'm talking one individual spring here folks. I can always get it later, I'm sure. I had already spent enough at the first place we had gone.

Love the old drawer. I have one of those too! Great way to use it.
ReplyDeleteLove your drawer. I would be tempted but the price would probably hold me back. I shouldn't tell you this but I just bought 2 old rusted springs for $1.00. I was thrilled. The husband is used to my buying odd things but this one really made him shake his head in disbelief. I envisioned filling with some moss and a little plant - at least until I get another idea.
ReplyDeleteI love poking through shops like that. One never knows what treasures will be there just waiting to be brought home!
ReplyDeleteOh I would have grabbed the drawer as well !!! i'm off to an artisan market on Sunday wonder what I may find .....
ReplyDeleteVery nice, love the vase and your shots-9 dollars for a bed spring-yike. That is a very cool drawer..and does nicely in your photos.
ReplyDeleteDrawer-bonus! I get why it pulled you in...and I love what you did with it!
ReplyDeleteIlove the "loot" store.....let me get lost inside there. Love your drawer...I brought quite a few way back when they were not popular or expensive from EBay and Op shops.
ReplyDeleteGreat finds and photos.
ReplyDeleteA dangerous place to wander...great finds galore! Love your compositions with the 'loot.'
