While camping in Michigan this week my Hubby and I got to go "dumpster diving"..:) Now mind you it was close to 100 degrees outside, but I am so glad we did not pass it up.. The owner of the home was there and getting ready to leave in a few hours. He was basically starting to throw anything out that his family didn't want. This is what we collected.
Then as my husband was loading up the truck, the nice man asked me if I would also love this old mirror...
My eyes must have been as big as saucers...I kept my cool (yeah right) and said..sure!!!:)
Its already distressed...so many layers of patina its not even funny...all I have to do is clean it up a little...
I love it..and the nice man was so happy that someone wanted all his junk and that he didn't have to pay to have it disposed of...(we even told him the Tonka trucks were collectibles, but he didn't care)
I guess this was just our lucky day!!!
