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.
***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,
