Some Junk Purchases and a Giveaway Winner

April 21, 2014
Demilune Table  www.organizedclutterqueen.blogspot.com
 I found this demilune three legged table at a senior center rummage sale.  

 Not sure if it is an antique or not, but still a great find for $2.  I will paint it with chalk paint.


Vintage Kettle Perfect for an Outdoor Plant www.organizedclutterqueen.blogspot.com
 A great enamelware kettle with wood handle and lid.  $16 at an antique shop.

Chippy Red Vintage Lantern www.organizedclutterqueen.blogspot.com
 A vintage lantern without the glass insert.  I have more lanterns without glass.  I use them outdoors, and usually pay about $3 each. I paid $6 for this one just because it was red and chippy!

Vintage Cutting Boards with Hand Painted Numbers www.organizedclutterqueen.blogspot.com
Two vintage cutting boards.  $9 each.  The seller at the antique shop added the black numbers after seeing it done on Pinterest.  I have a budding cutting board collection!

I do love colanders too.  I paid $8 for this graniteware one and $6.50 for little wire basket.

 $8 for a metal tool box.

Super rusty vintage bar soap holder. $6. Do you have any repurpose ideas for this?

Garden Junk Gas Can www.organizedclutterqueen.blogspot.com
A red gas can.  $8.  I like these in the garden.  I have a blue one already.

Vintage Geranium Canisters www.organizedclutterqueen.blogspot.com
These vintage geranium canisters are so fun. I know just where to put them.  I think they were $6 for the pair.

Added 4/22***I forgot to show you my $4 picnic basket.


Many of the these items will be used for junk garden and other outdoor decorating!

  4. I would use the old soap dish like a mini shelf....wouldn't a bird's nest look adorable on it?

  5. Great finds. I have a 3 legged table almost exactly like yours that I re-did last year. I'm into chopping blocks now too and just refinished one and then used a wood burner to write on it. Very cool.

  6. Carlene,
    What great treasures you found. I love the bucket for planting and the red gas can is awesome. Love the $2 three legged table. That was a great score. Have fun with chalk painting that little beauty. It will look fantastic. Have a great start to the week.

  12. I just found your blog via Southern Hospitality's link party, and boy am I glad I did! You're a girl after my own heart with all these amazing treasure finds! My favorites are the gas can and colanders! Perfect accessories for the garden! As for the vintage soap holder-it would look amazing attached to my garden shed, holding some rusty tools or little pots of petunia's! I'll be searching for one now, the next time I go treasure hunting! Thanks for sharing all your gems and ideas! Great Post!

  13. Carlene, I'm playing catch up. Been so busy that I have not had much visiting time. Love all of your treasures! I have a granite colander like that one. Love the red lantern and I collect gas cans too. My daughter found one that said Olson on it for us a couple years ago. It's red with yellow lettering. I could see the soap dish (lined with thin tin on the outside maybe) and then used as a bird feeder. Just cute no matter what you use it for!
    hugs,
    Jann
