Mondays will feature fabulous finds unearthed, and Fridays will reveal the unique re-do's or re-purposed articles that have been retrieved and reclaimed.
Following are some of my latest "Rusty Rave Monday" discoveries to get you into the spirit and start you thinking about contributions you can make that will add to the merriment! So join in the fun...we'll just give it a whirl and see how it goes!
I purchased these old books at an antique store in the White Mountains of Arizona. They are the coolest--The Home Workshop Manual is, well, just right up my alley! It is from the 1930's and is in amazing condition. It has 735 working drawings, plus great illustrations in that tremendous old style. The little red book is Vol. 1 of Les Miserables, now how cool is that...I sure would have liked to have been able to get my hands on the second volume, but I am extremely happy with this one, I absolutely love vintage books!
I love vintage suitcase stacks too! The two bottom ones are family heirlooms that I grew up using. When my father died five years ago, they were found among his belongings, so I definitely snatched those up. I have been looking for a smaller vintage suitcase ever since, to add to the stack, and finally found the top one last week at a shabby boutique in Phoenix. Sometimes it takes awhile to complete a collection or a "look", but as always, it's all about the thrill of the hunt! So happy hunting...I'll see you back here at the end of the week. I am so excited about, and looking forward to, your creative submissions!
