SANFORD'S GRANDSON (Cheri)

Mark and I had an off day from our Shop Hop today . . . a day before we move to a new "base camp," having seen all of the participating quilt shops in the area.  We hit the blue highways and happened upon a source for all things "junque."

These, and several others, were located at the back of a huge lot.

The small frontage beside the road was not at all promising, but I thought I might find a water feature that wasn't sappy.

As you can see, "not sappy" wasn't the criteria.

We did actually buy a couple of these.  One will become a mailbox decoration.

Mailbox decorations are a real thing here.  We'll do a whole post one day on ones that we've seen.

The other we bought just for a couple of rusty-textural pieces, which will become wall art.

You would have to love rust and texture to truly appreciate most of the things that we saw, but both of us truly do.

Some items of questionable current utility:

I think this was originally a shepherd's hut, used much more than the contents:

I even like looking at the ground wherever I am.  At one antique fair we went to, there were acres upon acres of tiny bits of tumbled glass among less-than-pea sized gravel.

Here there were areas of old mechanical bric-a-brac:

I imagine Mark could, but I'm hoping my father-in-law will attach a comment here, telling me what the long round items are.
