Junkin' again~RAK


Hi everyone~this is the last of my Indiana junkin' finds!!!  You'll see that I have already started to use them in many different ways.  I have more than several of these and love them all, to stack and use in my photographing of my work.



These are odd shaped spools and caught my eye for that reason!


This a wax container for honey (about 2 oz.) really adorable!!



Old yarn cards~not sure what I will do with these but thought they were very cool~and that is enough for me:):)


Printer's Blocks~the only two I found, no five but a four and nine, oh well:)

  12. Regarding the long spool in your Second picture - A friend of mine made an ADORABLE SNOW WOMAN out of those. She attached it to a wood bottom, used a styrofoam ball, plastered the ball and modge podged it and stuck it on the end of the spool. Placed a wicker hat on her head after painting a face and tied a huge paper bow under the ball. It's adorable.

    Anyway, I saw those rulers placed in an arrangement with the wooden thread spools inside blue mason jars - I have really wanted to do that too

  13. I love the wick thread...too cool. Your cotton mill spool will go inside your cotton mill shuttle. I think I saw you with one before. I have followed you for awhile now...I am glad I do.

  14. What a nice collection of goodies. I love going out in search of treasures, myself. And the folding rulers are great. I have made many things with similar goodies, and I love watching what others come up with. I would think the candlewick yarn would make wonderful twine for tying on buttons, and such. Can never have too much - every time I find a stash like that, I divvy it up amongst my friends. Happy hunting always!

  19. The bingo cards would easy! Our best couple surprised us with an engagement party (11 years ago!) and created a bingo game about our lives before marriage. I'd use the bingo cards as the cover to a book and make the insides a play on bingo and what we have done since we've been married to give to DH. He would actually be very touched by that- he's a nostalgic guy that way and he appreciates the work that goes into these creations. :) Thanks for inspiring this idea!!!!
