Scrummy Vintage Finds...

As soon as I saw this it had to mine, I had no idea what it was immediately, but did I care? No, it was wonderful! It was all old and shabby and stuff...


It would look great in my house, and was going to be useful for something, well I'd find a use for it!


Guess what it is yet....


....Its an old Letterbox! 

The pretty side would face outside for your letters to go in and then you could open the other side (see the little hole to lift it up at the back) to retrieve your post.


I like it here at the moment on my hall table that I previously made shabby chic, but it will probably relocate to my bedroom for my jewellery.


Now that's not the only thing I found, the other item that accidently slipped into my bag was this metal shelf with a row of hooks at the bottom...


I spent about an hour wandering around the house, offering it up to each wall to see where it would live.


I'm liking my collection of Heart's happily hanging off the ends...


It's probably going to find a spot in my utility room, I tried it out with my peg jar...


...and then I could hang up my apron, towel, dustpan and brush, etc...and line up my storage jars along the shelf.


Wherever they both end up I'm glad they've found their way into my home.
