Instant Collection~ Good Tools


I love old tools.  
Maybe it is in my blood.  
My dad was a carpenter who built his own house.
My grandfather was a custom cabinet maker.


Calipers and Dividers are among my favorite tools.
The largest one of these has a patent date of 1895.


I love to create groups of three assembled from local Estate Sales.
This Instant Collection is my latest favorite lising

One-of-a-Kind Inspiration Board


One of these Vintage Shoe Stretchers looks pretty cool repurposed as
a note/memo/photo holder, but....




Just imagine 6 of them lined up on the wall and repurpused
as an inspiration board.

Available at anythinggoehere.etsy.

They have a great midcentury industrial vibe.

SOLD

Grandchildren Issues


I have been missing in action for the last week,
but I am having some grandchildren issues.

I have three grandchildren all belonging to my daughter, Amy.

Conner, a newborn who is seriously allergic to mold so my daughter
and her family have to move out of their home quick!

Hannah, who is starting college this fall and needs to
get to orientation and BOTH of her parents work and
don't have any time off!

And Kaylee, 13, who is coming to stay with us for part of the
summer.  Back to the two working parents.

But, I think we have it all worked out!  Yeah!

They live near Lexington, Kentucky and I don't get to see any of them
as often as I would like.

I love them all and I am happy to help out and especially excited about spending 
some time with Kaylee this summer.

Even with all of that planning going on, I did find some neat stuff for
anythinggoeshere.etsy which I am starting to list today.

Including this wonderful vintage Birch Bark Oval Box.

I've Seen Trouble



I've seen trouble... a Trouble Light that is.

(By the way, those are FieFie and Olive, my etsy shop's mascot frogs.)




I love industrial lighting, and a Trouble Light is the easiest to use.



Just hang it up using its 18 foot cord and
you're ready to go.

This vintage Trouble Light is available at

Imagination Wanted



I am continuing to poke around my studio
AKA the basement for stuff to send along to new homes.

repurposed into something,
but what?

Funky Storage~ My Favorite Thing at anythinggoeshere.etsy


Found yesterday and listed this morning.




This storage box is my current favorite thing




This drawer storage box has the funkiest finish.




It is some kind of wacky textured pastel spray paint.




With what looks like colored terrarium gravel sprinkled on.

A one-of-a-kind piece probably "refinished" between
 the late 1950's to 1970's is my guess.




I love finding things that I have never seen before!

Is this a finish you've ever seen?

This is a LOVE it or HATE it piece.
Which are you?

I am selling all of my vintage hanger collection




Most of them are gone.




But I couldn't resist repurposing some of them
into unique displays.




I especially like this one.

SOLD

I think it looks like it was always a jewelry display
even though I just recently I added the cup hooks.

What do you think?
