worked all of yesterday in a musty old basement.
Friends bought a house and it was packed full of stuff. So my husband I went to help them pull out the valuables, the scrap metal and the trash (in respective piles) in exchange for half the profit. (they're good friends)
I ended up trading my cash for a few antiques.
1. a large wooden picture frame. Yes, empty. (but I love it)
2. two wooden crates (dated 1928) that used to hold beer but will now hold my books.
3. a stepping stool that is still more solid than anything you can find in a store today.
4. several vintage glass vinegar jugs (which I plan to store my homemade apple cider vinegar in)
5. a rake. Yes, a yard rake. But here is the awesomeness.... it's wooden. all of it is wooden. I'm going to hang it on my wall and use it as a conversation piece. |
