You have a strong Eye...... the function of the Eye is not only as an observer of beauty, but a creator of beauty. I have always enjoyed being around people with a strong eye.....

I like your finds. I have a couple of acrylic trivets that have the pebble look with lady bugs in it.
And my utensil holder is a crock looking cookie jar that I found at a garage sale for almost nothing because it had a chip on the inside of the rim. I had been looking at similar ones at a specialty shop for over $30.
I don't think things have to "go together" as long as they are things we like.

My gosh ET that is not junk, these are eccentric pieces of art that have a function in the kitchen and a center piece for communications between friends and family. Good work.

Wow Earthy you have quite a treasure trove there. Unfortunately I don't have any more room for treasures such as yours. When we have junk day in the spring I am sure some of the discarded items appear somewhere in someone's place. One person's junk and another person's treasure. You are at least doing the recycling thingy Earthy.

Good going ET, you have found stuff that can be decent and put to good use. It's amazing what people throw out. I found a lovely glass lamp shade in perfect condition that is not on my big lamp. Looks great.

    Quoting  :

That would be lovely.......i once had a side business buying junk and selling antiques....which included vintage clothing.......I had 4 employees......I still keep my eye out. I found a very over-the-top ornate, but in good shape, gilded wood and plaster picture frame....about 20by 30 in........It sat in a corner for years, then, one day, I was looking at a stretched canvas painting I had done, which I didn't like, and I thought of cutting off the portion I didn't like.........You can't cut off a part of a stretched canvas without destroying it, so I put it off......Then I thought of that old frame and I cut some 1/4 inch plywood to fit in the frame, cut my painting to the same size.....(with my heart in my mouth because there would be no turning back)and I glued the canvas to the plywood. I then re-gilded the frame......Voila!......
