Black flower cart planter another way




I wrote a post a couple of days ago about this 1950's garden cart planter
that is missing its original plastic pot.

But how I had repurposed it with peat pots has been bugging me
ever since.

So I had to come up with another idea.

What do you think?
Do you like this idea better...
a little corral for your vintage bottles?

Still available since my other idea wasn't very inspiring


I'll have to see if this does the trick.

the cutest vintage postal scale


SOLD


yesterday at the estate sale of a local business that was closing after 20 years
i found one of my all time favorite vintage postal scales.






i just love the simplicity of its postage dial.

and look at the cool postage categories.
"print'g-mdse."
and
"periodicals"

i had even forgotten that we used to call magazines "periodicals."

available already this morning at

In Honor of my Dad




My dad would have been 99 years old today.
Instead he lived to be 73.

gentle. loyal. hardworking. kind.
and very, very funny.

I love and miss you, Dad.

Down on the farm in a Shell Station parking lot.


That's right. 




These curious old pieces of farm equipment



Were hanging around the local Shell Station parking lot
a couple of weeks ago.




Mr. Anythinggoeshere and I stopped for gas on the way home
from our weekly trip to the local flea market.




And there they were.




And now they're gone.




I would love to know where they came from
and where they went.




Don't some of them look like they were made from old cars?
Perhaps some early repurposing?

And look at all that lovely old rust and patina!
