New finds: Part Two

Part Two: the rest of our junkin finds
So as I mentioned in my last post, Jennie and went junkin last weekend and found some great stuff.  Here are the other things we found:

Jennie found this cute sign!  She'll be cookin' dinner at least once a week now...on Thursdays at 7!

I found this great galvanized metal tool box.  (It came with bow; I just haven't taken it off yet.)
For now, it's sitting under my bench in the entry.  That probably won't be it's permanent home.

love the tough rusty handle and I have a cool old lock for it (but no key so I'll have to be on the lookout for an old lock WITH a key)


Jennie found this cute little sign.

I'm really liking that cute little sign. 

Jennie also picked up this cute little old metal shovel.  It's a little apple green at the top on this side and orangey-red on the other.  Our favorite part?...the two little black stripes on it.  We loved those little stripes.  (we're crazy and we know it.  Who else would get so excited about two little stripes)


I got this weathered blue shutter. I love the color but it was really chippy as in chipping off everytime I moved it.  So, I had to seal it well before moving it into the house. 
The big glaring wall space between the chest of drawers and the clock was awful.  The shutters seem to fill it in without taking away from the clock.   It looks much better in person.  I just couldn't seem to capture it with my less than spectacular photography skills.
There you have it.  That's all the stuff we've found lately for cheap.  Oh wait, there is one more thing...but I'll post that on another day because we actually need some help with it.  We're not sure what to do with it and we'll need ideas so I'll save it for it's very own post later in the week.

I'm linkin' up to Funky Junk's SNS #53!

  1. It goes great with the clock. Love the old tops too. They are hard to find. When I find them they are pricey. Good place for the metal box.

  10. Gina-- I made the bathroom sign by getting that image, printing it out, and mod podgeing it onto a piece of tile. If I were to do it again, I'd think of a different way I think. Maybe even the little dudes cut in vinyl.?. Hmm. (p.s. I have the image if you want it)

  11. Oh, man you found the cutest stuff. I love all of it. I might have had to arm wrestle someone for the Cottage sign if I’d been along. And I really like the homes you found for all of it. I still have my weekend finds in box. I’d better get busy.

  12. You found some great stuff. I'm intrigued by the last item you found! I can't wait until you reveal what it is. I like the shutter hanging below the clock - it looks great.

  13. I meant to come back and comment on part 2 and...umm...well, I got distracted. There may have been a chocolate cookie in the kitchen calling me.

    But all those things are so lovely - I want that tackle box. Even with the bow!

  14. I love old galvanized pieces - the tool box is great.
    The shutter does fill that spot nicely. And I love the wire basket on that table.
