Last week, I drove over to the Goodwill Outlet in town...
an aside--yes, for those of you who don't know, there is Goodwill Outlet - the last bastion of junking before all this stuff goes to...goes to where?..where does it go after this?
I was looking for a sturdy base for a garden table I had in mind to build...base could be anything, just needed to be sturdy.
Unfortunately, I didn't find anything that would work as a base, but did find some other interesting items as I pawed through the bins...
the gray suitcase didn't look like much until I opened it up and saw the beautiful blue lining inside...
I always pick up silverplate pieces whenever I find them...each of the blue file cards will be a good jumping off point for a mini-collage...the file folders are perfect for a project I'm eager to try from the Jan/Feb issue of Cloth/Paper/Scissors...and I don't know what the dome with the finial is/was but its metal so I love it!
I'm participating in Mosaic Monday at Little Red House...you should check it out...you might find something unexpected!
