Driving down the block in suburbia I saw a sign for
"Grandpa's Barn Sale"...
But we have no barns...
Where's the sale?
Where's the sale?
Drove to the address on the sign, still no barn...
but in the backyard of a split level house...
Grandpa dropped his goods!
I bet Grandpa would be surprised to see where I put the "old rustys"
I came home with today...
Rusty children's shoe forms...
An antique level...
Milk glass filled with rusty files and stakes...
or some old weathered spindles...
old mason tools...
All came together to make a junk style mantel.
I bet Grandpa would be so proud!
I guess it really was a "barn sale" after all!
WOW jackpot! Looks great!
