OK - so now you know- I love cast offs, the abandoned & forlorn objects of other people's wrath. A ding, a nick - that is nothing to me. Replace a table top - sure in fact, I have 4 legs that need a top - presto, table.
This talent (obsession) started when I was but a wee lass. My father was a very talented inventor and re-purposer. Almost everything would "Come in handy " someday and a lot of things did. I rescued an old wooden bench from our local dump along with two puppies that I found homes for. The bench I painted, decal-ed, and sold for $90.00. What encouragement to this young entrepreneur.
Now when a church or other organization has a Vacation Bible School program, a Christmas musical. wedding or other event - I am the "go to" person. Need retro clocks - how many? Top hats, fur capes and Victorian caroler's costumes - got those. What I don't have. we will make. Did you know that louvered bi-fold doors zip-tied together make a great background for an Indian Jones style marketplace? I have great ideas for Fourth of July floats
A lot of rescued items make great decorative objects for staging. Stained damask tablecloth - make pillows. Salvaged architectural corbels look stunning hung on the wall with a pillar candle or vase of flowers on top. A iron fence section makes a unusual headboard.
If we can do this with trash, just think of what we can do with your treasures!
