More Rusty and Dusty Treasures

Last Saturday I went to an indoor sale and found some great things that I blogged about HERE. 

I was thrilled when the guy said he'd be open again on Sunday.  (most places are not open on Sundays here)  I thought about a few things I'd seen on Saturday and was so happy to find them still available.  I must say, his prices were much better the second day!  :)

My favorite find was this old ice cream bucket.  I love the color, love that it has some writing on it and love the metal pieces on it.  It came with all of the heavy ice cream making stuff, but I plan to use it differently. 

A couple of years ago, my friend Heather and I were out shopping.  We found this fabulous birdhouse.  We hemmed and hawwed about it for quite awhile, but I was getting on a plane to go home and couldn't figure out how to get it home very easily and she wasn't sure if she was ready to make that investment.  Well, not long after, Heather's husband surprised her with the very same birdhouse to put in her GORGEOUS garden!  It looks amazing and I love that we were together when we found it the first time! 

So now my husband can work his magic on it and we will have a similar one in our yard.

I found this set of numbers in a cast iron holder.  I am excited to get them heated up and make some fun projects with them.

I find tons and tons of canning jars at garage sales here, but not blue ones with zinc lids.  Score!

I'll be sure to post when the birdhouse is done and if I find a fun project to burn some numbers into some wood!

Thanks for your visit!

New Game Room Shelf Using English Brackets

A few months ago I received these beautiful Cast Iron Shelf Brackets from English Brackets to review.  I was thrilled to receive them as they are gorgeous and so unique!  The company makes brackets in Iron, Brass, Chrome and Wood.  They offer hundreds of choices!

Here are the details about the Cast Iron brackets that I received:

Each bracket is manufactured from 100% Solid Cast Iron

We use age old tools, patterns and techniques, to ensure each bracket is brought to life with stunning attention to detail

Our brackets are suitable for use with shelves, cisterns, sinks and also to decorate roof supports and frames.

Each bracket is supplied in a traditional cast iron finish with a polished lacquer applied to the surface.

Maintenance is minimal and we recommend avoiding the use of cleaning chemicals and polishes.

Check out their website for a multitude of choices. English Brackets

Here's what I received--They are the Winchester Small Iron Brackets. 

We hung  them this weekend in our Game Room. They were easy to install, came with all of the necessary hardware and look so nice on the wall! I haven't seen brackets this pretty before!

We added this shelf made by Rubbermaid that we purchased at Home Depot.  It fit perfectly!

We were able to put some pretty heavy things on it.  The apothecary jar and scale each weigh quite a bit.  The shelf holds all of this with no problem.

 

We love the way the new shelf brings some interest to what was a boring corner of this kitchen.

English Brackets has an easy to use website, great customer service and ships quickly.  I  highly recommend this product and company.

Thanks for your visit.
