trash to treasure this week



this week we made jewelry posts made from old bed posts and added hooks..i saw this idea in a friends shop..so handy for jewelry or anything small like ornaments.. ..old beds are so cheap...nobody wants full size anymore...and they have great parts for trash to treasure.....
also got in 2 counters, one huge , 8 ft long, with tin on the front...
the counters sell from 280 to 400.... the posts from 30 to 70..

i picked up the angel at the big extravaganza fleamarket in springfield ohio last fall ,its just under 3 ft wide... a buddy named elaine and i were lost and looking for something and bumped into these, from a neat old guy with no catalog.... i want more if anyone has any for sale or knows where to get them please let me know.....she is big and made out of wood, sometimes the eyes are glass....... at home i had the carpenter make this...old dresser mirror posts on the side....we put one ontop of a door cupboard too but its gone.....
