This Weekend's Junkin' Finds #14

HEY YOU GUYS !!!!!
: )

How's your week coming along?

I wanted to share with you guys some of the goodies I found this weekend
AND what I got for Mother's Day 

 Ready?
Really ready?
Really really ready?
Ok, let's go ...
(sorry for taking this on a black background ... bad blogger)


First I picked up this vintage croquet set for $5

A platter and a small dish for $1 a piece

A beautiful blue vintage Pyrex casserole dish with a lid for $2

This cool clock (the seller said worked but doesn't) for $2. I've already taken it apart to replace the battery part to see if I can get it to work.


A brand new, full box, of unsanded grout for $1.49. Bought to make chalk paint

An awesome vintage wooden pulley for $3
 
 A free piece of wood which use to be a lid to a box. Not sure if I wanna repaint over it of 
leave it as is. Any thought? I kinda like it as it is.


2 Dundee Marmalade jars $3 for both and 4 vintage wood steam casters for $5


Now, my pride and joy,
my Mother's Day gift ...

It's an antique shoe rack that was used in shoe manufacturing factories from the late 1800's through to the 1950's. The wheels and open shelving enabled the workers access to the rack from both sides as it was moved about the factory floor.  
I have wanted one for SO long.


I LOVE it !!!!

 So, how was your weekend?
