Friday Find - Bunny Butt

I believe this is an antique bathroom set. There's the toothbrush holder, the swan towel holder, the soap dish, and. . .


. . .the bunny cotton ball holder, lol. I laughed so when I saw the bunny butt that I had to spend the $1.50 to purchase the set, just for the laugh.  I really have no idea how much the set is worth, if it's even worth anything, but it brought a smile to me and I thought it might you too.

Friday Find - Shelf

I was happy when I found these old drawers for a quarter a piece.  I wasn't sure how I was going to use them but I brought them home anyway.  (PS, the radio cart is another find and comes in so handy, we just haven't gotten around to repainting it yet.)  I did envision them being lively colors, so a good cleaning, sanding and repainting was in order.



I decided I would sit those little boxes on this old oak shelf I picked up earlier in the day for $5.  All I did to this was clean it, a lot - it was  nearly black - just filthy.  After it dried from it's thorough cleaning, which included light sanding, I put a coat of Restore on it then some beeswax.



By evening everything was dry and I put it on my sewing room's book shelf to hold threads, and scissors, etc.

Friday Find - Antique Glass Candy Jar

Found this old candy jar at a garage sale.  It's a vintage round glass container with 2 flat spots to sit it upright, or tilted, with a metal screw on lid.  These used to sit in candy stores, general stores - just imagine how many little hands have reached inside.  They sell for about $80 in antique stores, I did a quick search and found one on ebay for $95.  I paid $30 for the jar and a little more for all the candy to fill it, lol.

1905 Carousel

We followed road signs off our path to check out this carousel.  We were disappointed to find it enclosed, and closed.  I did the best I could shooting through dirty glass into a dark gazebo.







The Wurlitzer is in there, in the middle.  Love all the paintings!

Chevy sooc #19

Just a cool truck at a wedding. I was walking by and snapped and liked it just how it was.
