remember this~ mail box front and film reel canister

 Hi guys~I hope you remember this fun stuff.  Anyway this is what I did with them~
nothing but coolness~

 I used the mail box front as a frame.  I put my business card in it~the size was perfect!  It will make a cool display:):) 

 Honestly I wish I had bought all of these  ( I walked away from 2 more:(:( )
I do that if I can't think of a plan when I see something!!

 Stenciled my favorite number on the front and put a bunch of old vintage labels in it for safe storage. 

Just vision 6 vintage film reel canisters, all lined up in this vintage dish strainer,
 that's my point "way cool" ~next time, for sure. I will buy all of them!!!
Gives me something to look for:):)

Have a great Friday!!!

  8. A few years ago I came across a bin full of the post office doors at Scott Antique Market. Right on top was one that had the number 4404 on it. That was the last 4 numbers of my parents phone number, the number I grew up with. So of course I had to have it! I keep it on a stand in my family room. They made everything so pretty back then! I'm glad someone else loves them too and keeps them out of the landfill!!!
