Thinking Outside the "Wire Urn"?

I'm not sure what you call these "containers".

but I call them wire urns......

I love this one; unique, cream, a tiny bit shabby...

I use them for lots of things in my little store.

This one has been full of rolled up music, or dictionary pages, or filled with doilies.

Or just sitting with nothing in it it is lovely.

But I decided to try something new....

I turned it upside down to use it as a "cloche" of sorts.

I put a doily and one of my handmade nests on top,

an old clock face, and "other treasures" inside at the bottom,

and laid another nest (in a coin purse) at the base.

Also added one of  my little Tea Bag Rose Bouquets.

It is so fun and different. Love it!!

What else could we put under there?

Or maybe it would be a great base for a cake plate....

Here is just a bit of something from home.

I do not decorate much here, but have some special pieces I like to play with...

tea pot,

  old lock and keys....white buttons I love....

and another nest. Can you tell I love nests???

OK, that is all the fun for today.

Games and Clues, New Stuff for You

Game:
A "new" game.
I do not usually buy games for the store,
but I just loved this one!

Wondering how many games are still made in USA?
maybe lots.

Here is game board....

and the pieces.
Love those little game tokens.
A whole family.
And look at those great cards fro making sentences.
Not sure if I will keep it all together,
or sell as individual parts.

Clue:

Remember this?

and this??
I showed you some parts last week,
and you were guessing what it was.
Her are more. Big clue here.

And this. How cool is this?

and these?
They are all part of this.

an old adding machine.
(think it has another name but cannot remember it)
I am taking it all apart and selling the pieces.
Already have a person dying to get parts of it.
How fun is this?
Cannot wait to get to inner most parts and see what we can play with.
Wonder what the number type look like out of the machine.
New Stuff:
Old electric Popcorn Popper

more parts
(these are for sale.
Rust? or not?)

garden urn, and ballet shoes.
(and see my little hand made eye glasses?
tutorial coming soon.)
