I was a "That's the Ticket Linky Party" give-away winner


I won Rusty and Redone’s give-away ! 

On March 16, 2012, I  posted my "Repurposed Sad Looking YellowMetal Industrial Cart for TV Table" blog on "THAT'S the TICKET -Linky Party"  hosted by: Shannon @ Rusty & Redone, Angie @ Knick of Time, Carrie @ Lovely etc. and Gertie @ The Old Block House. So different and so well organized.

Not only was this a fun party, but they all offered fantastic give-aways that I liked, so I entered although I seldom win anything. 

Shannon at Rusty and Redone's give-away was a $20.00 discount on any item in her Etsy shop.
Wow ...  I would like that because I love what she sells. 

Well … I was the lucky winner.
Shannon gave me the option to buy something on her Etsy shop with the $20.00 discount or since we live about thirty minutes from each other I could come early and shop her Spring Open House Sale scheduled for May 4th/5th. 

Which do you think I chose to do? 

Yep ... the Open House Sale and I could bring a friend. This was great for me and Shannon too. 

Well, last week, I finally got over my four weeks of oak allergy and trekked off to Fredericksburg, Texas to shop her sale. 
***This is just one wall ... see why I wanted everything!

What fun ... you should go if you live nearby. She has some real special stuff, well organized and fun to shop.
  
Well, I know you are anxious to see what I bought ... I had to restrain myself because I wanted too much.

I bought two small metal wheels that I had seen in her Etsy shop ...
a nicely painted "BASKETS" sign ... perfect to hang over my baskets. Who would know these are baskets as they have such a heavy protective coating of dust ... so I needed this sign!  

 
a wonderful architectural piece of a column ...

... a lovely pink sock darner ... and Bingo cards.(not shown).

I was so anxious to put these items to use that I forgot to take a before picture. 

 
So here is how I used my treasures.
 Make believe this green rail off a vintage kid's wagon is a fence or gate. The little rusty wheels look great mounted on them. Makes me think of a ranch gate. This is attached to an old oak drawer from an antique desk and makes a neat shadow-box. 
You can see the pretty pink sock darner tucked in the bottom of the shadow-box. Love the time-worn look. I will add it to my collection of sock darners.

 The white pedestal looks wonderful tucked in with my small plants. Paint is white, chippy and so perfect. 

I did an little painting and aging on the drawer/shadowbox, but not too sure I like the paint job. I first used it to display a plant then displayed my old wooden rooster and tucked and old cement bird in the corner and laid a rusty key in the bottom. I kinda like this look.
Bingo cards will be used later in some project.

I don't usually enter give-aways because I never win ... but so glad I entered this one!

I hope you will visit  
Shannon at Rusty and Redone.   
 or her Etsy Shop 

 She is a sweet lady and posts interesting blogs.   

Blessings,
Audrey Z.
