I love old sleds and have one waiting for somethign special... this is great!

I don't know what that little gem is, but it is pretty cool and works perfectly for your project! Love it!

This was one of my favs from the book too and I am on the lookout constantly for them!

What a cute idea!

This is very, VERY cool! Wish I could find that kind of stuff here. Thanks for sharing such a great idea.

This is so Fantastic! WOW! Great job!

I have something similar to this so I will have to try it out! I use mine in the summer for potted plants, but now you give me a reason to have it out all year long! Thanks Sue!

Great project! I just love it! I wish I could find stuff like that easier here. Thanks for sharing!

This is fantastic! I've been wanting to find some bed springs. My dad had an old one on a burn pile and I asked him to cut some for me.... but he never did. I was kinda bummed. GREAT, GREAT project! Thanks for the inspiration!

Too cute! Thanks for showing us how to make it!

This is GREAT!!! We bought a foreclosure and decided to rip out all the long wall-length mirrors in the bathrooms to replace with smaller hanging ones. I got some old, large frames from the Re-Store for $5 and shabbied them up and added the mirrors to the back. I made three so far... two for master BDRM and one for downstairs bath. We still have another full mirror and our neighbors called us to see if we wanted theirs.... uh, yeah! I really love the look of it in the window... gives it such great charm. This is truly, truly fantastic! I'll keep my eyes out for cute windows like those!

I think this is one piece of junk that I need to find! I love the versatility of it! Thanks for the ideas!

Very cool idea!

Oh, I found a great example of a door desk... check out this space: http://theinspiredroom.net/2009/04/15/diy-an-old-door-makes-a-great-desk/

If you have doors, you can turn them into a crafting table. I have seen this online but don't know if I can find it now. Attach some sturdy legs and get a piece of plexi-glass or glass for the top. They look great and is something I may do soon. My craft room doesn't have much junk and needs to be junk-funked up.

As for beads, button, eyelets and more... check the kitchen supply stores for those bar garnish containers (a Sue Whitney idea). I have my buttons and scrappin' embellies in jars on the shelf. You can always take drinking glasses/jars and put them on a lazy suzan for a spinning storage for all of your scrappin' tools and pencils and such. My fav thing I did was find a vintage straw dispenser (the cylindrical ones that pull up and they fan out) and store your colored pencils in it... I think this idea has been around a while but it works great.

WOW! Looks like a dream come true! I love books... particularly the older ones or leather bound ones. Our den is kind-of a library and I love adding to it! You're one lucky girl!

I just love old suitcases! Well done! Love the wooden legs on it. I was planning to do something like this and was looking for a metal table stand or something... this might be better, easier and cheaper to do! Thanks for sharing!

Sue, it was such a pleasure to hear you speak today! I was the one who was so excited to meet you that I wouldn't stop talking (Erin). I can't wait for the next time you make it to Charlotte and I'm glad you had the chance to see some of our awesome secret junk spots! Happy junking! I can't wait to see what you come up with next!

These are called Safety Graters and can be found for $1.50 new at: http://www.housewares-plus.com

They don't have the same appeal when they aren't rusty and old, but for $1.50 I'm willing to try to age them myself or let time take it's course (they sell for around $10.00 a piece on ebay used - wish I could find them cheaper used).

This is a great, GREAT project. Thanks for sharing. I just went and ordered a bunch of these to make Christmas presents since our family gives homemade gifts. I think I'm going to get some little alligator clips or something so the pictures can be easily changed out.

The show did move to Cabarrus Arena, but Metrolina started another show called the International Collectibles and Antiques show (www.icashows.com) and I believe it is still the first weekend of every month and features a flea market in one of their buildings. SO many of these shows to go to... how will we find time and money for all? LOL!
