Junk For Sale




Put this down in the I Am Astonished category!!! ...yes I needed three exclamation points for this one. 

 Quandie, over at the 'Q Is For Quandie' blog, is a merchandising genius who even manages to sell her old used-up paintbrushes by making them into 'altered art'.

 Now, I might've shook my head a little at this, but I have to admit I would probably buy a few if I happened upon them at a Flea Market. 

 I think I might have a treasure trove here with my mother-in-law's old brushes! I saved them when she downsized a while back.

Head over to Quandie's blog and get some inspiration before you throw anything out.


Thanks for dropping by!

    Rivercrest Cottage,
    I grew up following my Dad into his work shed and garage. . .and I have a "thing"for gas cans, oil cans and metal toolboxes!
    "Mr. Ed" often frowns at me when I find such a "treasure at the Antique Mall or a Flea Market! I can't help myself!
    Do I dare visit Quandie's Blog?
    Fondly,
    Pat
    P.S. Wish me luck!

    I really like the collection of small brushes you've "inherited" and the carrier they're stored in! Small brushes like those come in quite handy, too...
