Pickin' A Chicken House

Yes I did!

I picked a chicken house full of

junk that has been stored for decades!

And I must say, it was a blast!

I shopped for 4 hours ~

plain and simple,

there was just too much junk!

Automotive, hardware, 

school supplies, cash register tape,

yarn, Christmas stickers......

stuff, lots of stuff!

Anyone need some boat anchors?

Don't think these computers will

serve much purpose otherwise ~

Oh, but I fell in the love with

the rusty saw blades ~

 

and Garfield

forever stuck on 10:49 ~

wonder if it was morning or night?

 

 

Would have bought all the

canning jars, 

but I have cases of them at home...

still waiting for projects yet begun.

 

 Breaker, breaker 1, 9 ~

anyone need CB supplies?

Good Buddy!

  

 

 

Griswald stove dampers caught my attention,

I purchased several just because!

 

 

 I'm sure someone could fix

this baby up - but it's not me!

 

 More rust ~

Bicycle chains snaking across the floor,

just glad they weren't real snakes!

I saw a snake skin earlier that sort of

put me on edge.

 

 

 

 How about a huge box full of

Jagermeister Test Tubes?

Guess these were for a shot party! 

Seemed out of place for

a chicken house!

 

 

Poor Barbie, 

Ken was no where to be found,

probably hanging out near the Jagermeister Party.

Looks like she was resting after working

out to her Olivia Newton John cassette, 

hope Ken can find his way back to Xanadu!

  

 

The only mouse trap I saw ~

I'm sure they would need quite a few more!

 

 

Unfortunately,

this find was not for sale!

 

 

So, wondering what I DID

end up with after FOUR hours of picking?

 

  Seven galvanized boxes,

an awesome old red shopping cart,

shutters,

two old stretchers,

two old galvanized trash cans,

at least a dozen old metal signs ~

 

5 large unfinished frames,

two turned table legs,

one lone bicycle wheel,

one rusty metal milk crate,

a ton of yard sticks,

 

 

awesome rusty wire,

slatted wood pieces,

a vintage numbered valet board with hooks,

 and lots of small do-dads like big rusty screws,

stove dampers, metal cogs and wire screens!

 I can't wait to start on some

fun re-purposing projects!

 

I had a great day at the chicken house,

may have to go back again tomorrow....

already thinking about a few things I still need!

Live Authentically ~ Be the Real You!
