Vintage Iron Trivet

Today I went to a white elephant fair at our church.

Aside from the usual stuff nobody wanted, things
even I couldn't think of any possible way to repurpose,
there was one item that called to me from across the room.
In between the old ash trays, ugly collectables, and faded candles I saw this vintage iron trivet.

I think I heard the church bells ring at the exact moment I spotted this.

I gasped a little as I dived for it through a room full of old women filling large bags.

So now for 50 cents... it is mine.

Not only was it rusty and have a hole in the top for hanging 
but it was magnetic!!!  



Yes it was!

Those 3 beauties in the picture are my grandmother and her 2 sisters.
So despite the lack of much else to bring home
today, I'm super excited about the iron trivet!

    My mom used to have one of those and a soda bottle with a shaker top to sprinkle water on the stuff she ironed.

    My best friends mom used one very similar to rest her iron on. We always set our iron upright and I often worried about the hot iron resting on it. A blast from the past!!

    I LOVE this trivet and how you've repurposed it!! I would've dove through old women to get it, too (maybe even pushed one down-JK! :)
