I LOVE FINDING OLD SHELVES AT THE THIFT STORE
BECAUSE I LOVE DOING LITTLE COLLECTIONS OF
MY THRIFT FINDS AND BEING ABLE TO STORE THEM IN ONE LITTLE SPACE.
JUST THE OTHER DAY I FOUND A LITTLE WOOD
BOX WITH A DESIGN OF A PLAYING CARD
AND AN OLD SLINKY, BROUGHT BACK MEMORIES
AND I COULD'NT PASS IT UP.
HERE IS WHAT THE SHELF LOOKED LIKE WHEN
I STARTED...
MUCH BIGGER THAN THE ONE I DID FOR MY
OFFICE YOU MAY REMEMBER IT. AND THIS TIME
I WANTED TO GET RID OF THE
ARCHED MOLDING.
THIS ONE HAS 15 LITTLE CUBBIES AND
THE OFFICE ONE HAD ONLY 9 I ENDED UP
HANGING THAT ONE ON THE WALL
THIS ONE I DECIDED JUST TO PUT ON THE
TOP OF A DRESSER IN MY GUEST ROOM
SO HERE IT IS I HOPE YOU LIKE IT..
I MADE THE NUMBER SIGN OUT OF AN
OLD LICENSE PLATE AND A HOSE CUPLER
I THINK THAT IS WHAT IT IS CALLED.
THE 68 STANDS FOR THE YEAR MY FIANCE
WAS BORN...
THIS PIECE OF CORAL I FOUND AT THE
THRIFT STORE IT WAS OLD AND
WHITE AND YELLOWED WITH AGE. BUT IT
WAS REAL CORAL AND I KNEW I WAS
GOING TO PAINT IT.
THE STATUE IS A COMIC CHARACTER CALLED
POISON IVY, HAD TO INCLUDE HER.
AND HERE ARE THE SLINKY AND THE CARD
BOX I FOUND !
SOME OLD DOOR HARDWARE...
IM STARTING AN OLD ALARM CLOCK
COLLECTION BUT THEY
ARE HARD TO COME ACROSS,
GUESS IM NOT THE ONLY ONE...
WELL I HOPE YOU ENJOYED IT , I LOVE THESE LITTLE SHELVES !!!
I love your little cubbie shelf and everything in it. Of course the clocks always speak to me and I love collecting them.

ReplyDeleteLove both shelves! Perfect for displaying collections.
ReplyDeleteI really love it! It's better than any I've seen in the catalogs! Love the color, the size, everything! Nice work!

I love that you display the things I grab when I see them, then stick in a box. (Door hardware, game pieces, etc.) You've inspired me to use some of the vintage JARS I also grab and fill them with other favorite things. That way, I can enjoy them and be more inspired to create with them!
