Great stuff!! LOL at ". I forget what I needed the 2 wire whisks for". I do that all the time!!!

What is it about Texans that they won't throw an old cheese grater out the window? I can never find anything other than a single shoe and hammers. I did see a really great shabby old step ladder once on the side of the freeway but didn't have time to stop.

Hee-Hee ! It's not like I Really expect people to toss them out windows onto the road, but couldn't they add their rusty graters to their tag sale ? LOL I have tried tag sales, thrift stores & flea markets. People down here really hang onto to their metal junk. Never have found any decent glass either. However, I picked up a small pile of clay flower pots that was next to a dumpster a couple of weeks ago. I'm grateful for that.

Wonderful pieces! Lucky you. I'll be waiting to see what you make with them. JLily

Great finds. In my part of Texas we have lots of garage sales, but mostly new stuff is put out. We have a second hand store that offers lots of goodies if you can beat the other junkers there!!!! Will be fun to see what you make from your finds.

Great stuff!
I can find some glass here but recently prices have really
gone up.
I never see tart pans of any size--I would love to do some flowers!

Now you have to show us what you made. Or is that in another thread? I have toadstool salt and peppers. Didn't think of combining them with a gnome, tho I am thinking of changing the colors.
Great haul, and good luck finding more things in TExas.

I haven't been able to put anything together yet. First of all, the landlord is going to replace the wooden fence that surrounds our patio, so I have to take down all my "flowering vines" as well as all of the things that are nailed to or screwed to the fence. I also have to move all the potted plants, etc. Right now I'm laid up with an exceptionally bad case of sciatica. As soon as we get ourselves together, I'll post pictures. - Laura

I can relate to the sciatica and have found a solution that has worked wonders for me. It is basically accupressure and hurts like the dickens but is worth the pain for relieving the sciatica sooner. Mash around on your back, hip, butt area until you find the most sore spot, then take a tennis ball and center it on the sore spot and roll on it-laying on floor or sitting in chair depending on location. It will hurt but as the muscle relaxes it gets better. Then ice area. Do this 3 times a day and it will be well before you know it. If you sit a lot you can roll up a towel and put it under your legs near the front of the chair. This gently stretches out the muscles. Hope you are well soon.
