Another Easy Peasy Note/Photo Holder



It isn't too early to start thinking
about what to give Mom for Mother's Day!

How about something repurposed
such as this neat old KITCHEN GRATER
repurposed into a photo/note/memo/recipe holder?

SOLD

I have just passed my 1300th sale at
And still loving it!

Repurposed Display of the Day


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?


This "new" jewelry display available at anythinggoeshere.etsy.

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.

I'm Selling It All!


If you read my blog you know that one of the reasons I started selling on etsy
9 months ago was to sell some of my personal collections.

SOLD





For the last week I have been working on offering for sale all
of my personal vintage hanger collection.

SOLD




I have added 28 listings of vintage clothing hangers.

SOLD




This group includes the cutest little baby hanger from Germany.

SOLD




I have several listings that include vintage advertising hangers
from around the country.

SOLD




Many of the listings would make interesting repurposed
photo/note/message holders.

SOLD




I have several listing of early twisty antique wire hangers including 
this one with clothespins attached.

SOLD






I have listings that have just one hanger up to listings
 including instant collections of 6 hangers.

SOLD




Love the simplicity of this group.

SOLD




Some listings are quirky and ingenious like these that slide apart
 to make the hangers larger or smaller.

SOLD




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

SOLD

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!
