I am going to level with you.

Doesn't this old red level make a fun and simple shelf?

Why I LOVE etsy!!!!

Recently I decided to sell my stash of Vintage Hangers

collected over the past 20+ years.

Now, only two weeks later, I have sold and shipped

123 hangers!!!!!

I love having customers all over the world 

and

the US post office!

Celebrating selling at anythinggoeshere.etsy for 9 months, and

still loving it. 

These are the last vintage hangers.  Available here.   SOLD!

anythinggoeshere~ What's in a name?

I have been blogging for two years now, and

thought to mark that anniversary I

would share some "Reflection Snippets"

on the last two years.

Here is my first "Snippet":

I am so glad I chose the name anythinggoeshere.

The name was inspired by this vintage storage pocket I bought years ago.

It used to hang in my shop, and now retired, it hangs in my garage.

Choosing anythinggoeshere has given me the freedom to blog 

about ANYthing strikes my fancy...

AND

I have gotten to "make up" lots of fun things

like "2011, The Year of the Brush"

and

"March, National Clothespin Month"

Thank you everyone who has been reading anythinggoeshere from the beginning

and everyone who has joined up along the way.

Have a wonderful day!!

Can a vintage hanger wear a new hat?

Before I sent all my vintage hangers off for sale

I had to do at least one repurpose.

I will make a photoholder out of anything....

even though right now instead of photos

this vintage hanger display

is showing off some vintage stencils.

Find it here at anythinggoeshere.etsy.

 to make the hangers larger or smaller.

And these that look great just hanging there in their vintage nakedness.

I have a few more to add this week then all of the vintage hangers I've collected

over the past 20+ years will be for sale.

The things I enjoyed about collecting vintage hangers were the endless variety,

the inventiveness of their manufacturers, their wonderful graphic quality,

and their humble, basic usefulness.

I hope I can pass along my love for vintage clothing hangers to you

... along with some hangers... today!

You can find my collection of vintage clothing hangers for sale

 at anythinggoeshere.etsy.

 

When Does a Mailbox look like a 1930's RocketShip?

When it is this one!!!!!!

Love its deco design and great aged patina.

It even has a special spot for newspapers and magazines.

Could it look any more like something Flash Gordon would fly?

This is currently my favorite thing for sale at anythinggoeshere.etsy.

SOLD

An Instant Collection~ Sew Fine

Are you like me,

Endlessly fascinated by what's inside a sewing tin?  

First I have to shake the tin and

then I have to see what is inside!

I spent hours looking through and playing with the things inside

 my gtandmother's sewing tins when 

when I was a kid.

What treasures I thought all those pretty buttons, threads, and snaps were!

See my latest sewing tin find at anythinggoeshere.etsy.

SOLD

Do you love exploring these tins as much as I do?

A Instant Collection of Flower Frogs

Like everyone else I am thinking spring.

And adding some fun gardening collections to anythinggoeshere.etsy.

I love how these three flower frogs look stacked and topped with a free

brass "R" stencil.

Look at that cute little ring of flower frogs on top!

SOLD
