A Few recent finds and a Mystery item

Despite being in "Lock Down" because of Covid 19, I have been able to find a few things lately,

 Mostly from friends and online sellers. These items can be found now or soon in my Etsy Shop. Click links on side bar.

Like a several of these fun hats.

And some vintage sewing supplies

Isn't this little bottle so cute

Gotta love seam binding and original packaging

And LMK if you have any clue as to what these pins with hook are used for.

I hope that the garage and estate sales open up soon, as long as it can be done safely.

She's a Bad Influence On Me

That was the montra as Jodi and I visited Canton first Monday trades days this week.

Our goal was to pick up a few of our Arkansas treasures that were being brought to us by one of our Canton dealer friends. He happily agreed to bring these things down to us as our trailer was too FULL at the time.
You can read all about that trip here, but not until you finish this post :)

We had to pick up 3 pieces of metal furniture, a drafting table and an old industrial cart. No small items there!!!!





I just love this old industrial cart, imagine it as one of those industrial coffee tables like was in Restoration Hardware.
It's at Winnie & Tulula's right now, but you might have to ask about it, as it's in the "back room".

So with empty trailer in tow, Jodi and I headed down the road.
And then it happened, the first thing Jodi bought was an 8' table!!!!
Can you believe it? That girl is not afraid of large items at all. But who could blame her, It was a great table, and I can see why she couldn't pass it up. Afterall we have a 10' trailer right. Well we managed to get it all packed and were heading down the isles to the exit and what do we spy? Something else she just has to have, that girl does drive-by shopping :)



Well we found a way to get it all in there and managed to get it where it needed to go.
This is the inside of the truck. Now remember this is my Dh's truck and I've been sworn not to put junk inside it and scratch it up. "I promise, I'll take care of your truck", I always say. Shhh don't tell anyone how much stuff we crammed in there. We were careful afterall.

Now for a whatzit?
do you know what it is and can you possible imagine what I am going to do with it?

What's It?????

I think I know what it is, Do you?
What's your guess?


I know what it is now

Fruit bowl and snack corral

Have a great weekend.

Update: I agree with Whistle Stop and Garden Antqs, I think it is the bottom rack of an old dishwasher. When I picked it up at the estate sale the seller didn't even know what it was. When I told them it was like a light bulb went off.
My re-purpose
The center portion (for silverware) is perfect for snack bars and the nutcracker.
I pulled out some semicircular pieces from a relish tray I have, and they work great for nuts. And the raisin and almond containers tuck right in. Of course fresh fruit and avocados have there place in there as well. The open wires and raised bottom are perfect for air circulation for the fruit. All this stuff was such a clutter on my counter, and my DH wanted it out and easy to get to. Now it's all neat and tidy. I think this is a keeper for me.
