FABULOUS FINDS

I went JUNKING a few days ago and found some great items....so I thought I would share them with my blogging friends!
I couldn't pass up this "RUSTY-GOLD" find.......A Vintage Firestone bicycle!  Great bones for the yard/garden!!  This will look fabulous PAINTED as well!!!
This will be at the Over the Moon Vintage Market........Nov. 22, 23



Who can't pass up a great set of galvanized wash tubs on wheels!  Chippy white paint, solid, and so many uses!  Hold your favorite ice and drinks, a wonderful planter in the garden, or a Christmas tree in one side with the wrapped gifts in the other!!  I always do my happy dance when I can find one of these!



Just plain SWEET!!  A childs bench with storage.  Probably made by a Grandpa because it's dated on the back for his little princess.  The vintage decals of the dutch children are adorable.  I haven't cleaned it yet...


I found these two pieces separate.......and put them together!  One can use their imagination on this.  Very primitive/farmhouse.  Lots of uses!  I'm looking for something to put in it for the show........

I had a fabulous junking day and enjoyed every minute of it!  Tell me, which one of these captures your heart and why?  I love hearing where/what something can be used for.....Upcycle or Recycle-LOVE it!!
Blessings~~~from one sweetie to another~~~Roxie

    Great garden additions. I have a wash tub just like that, I use it as my potting bench and have it filled with potting soil. The children's bench is adorable!

    Sweet finds......I like the bike,maybe would put a bunch of flowers around it and hang potted plants from the handle bars. The galvanized wash tubs would be fun to have. Maybe make mini gardens or something that can be rolled around to catch the sun if you have a big shaded tree in your back yard. Lest the vegie plants would get lots of sun. You are like an "american picker" what fun to find vintage stuff!!!

    HI Roxie! I am loving that bicycle, it's so cool! I watch American Pickers on TV and they love those old cycles. The washtub is pretty cool too. Where will you use that? It might make a fun planter.

    Have a wonderful day, my dear :)

    Roxie I'd be in so much trouble if I lived near you... Ohmygosh... I just love seeing all the beautiful things you come across. The washtub is gorgeous and I liked how you put the other tub on top of the wheeled primitive cart! You have a beautiful touch.... and I LOVE YOUR STYLE CHICKY!
