Yesterday it was really nice weather outside- I'd say the Temp was mid-to upper 60's.
I've been baby sitting the grands since Honey retired. After nap time we all went outside. The grandkids and I strolled down to the shed to scrounge around in there and see what we could find.
It paid off!
I came back and unloaded all this *stuff* into an old muffin tin. It took the better part of an hour to sort the screws, bolts, springs, washers, keys, door-knob hootises, and copper whats-it's , drill-bits and thing-a-ma-bobs -with the grand-son's help of course. What would an afternoon of sorting junk be, with out a 2 year olds help, anyway?
(there's little hand inside that sleeve and it helped do the sortin')
Once we were done...
not only did I have a really cool muffin tin full of organized and neat stuff --
Complete with *original* rope and hose handle.
Not long ago- when organizing a new workspace INSIDE the house- I happened upon some sweet wheels. I ran inside and grabbed those and the drill
(you may click any picture to make it bigger,btw)
old issues of Decorating and Cottage type magazines.
Yes! yes, yes I do!
I might also add this box used to belong to my brother.
He used it for tools in the floor board of his big ol' pick-up truck.
I don't know how we ended up with it; but somehow we did.
He phoned me today and I told him about it. He remembered the box.
He thinks I'm nuts. (smile)
a couple of dish cloths and another dish-mop. I have already used the first dish-mop I made last week remember the yellow one. These things work fabulous! After I am finished with it; I rinse it out in scalding hot water and soak it in a dish pan of baking soda and then hang it to dry- to keep it fresh.
I'm hooking up with Donna's Funky Junk Interiors SNS --

great use of the muffin tin. Love that box. You put it to good use!
Hi! :)) Glad to meet ya. Love love love your magazine wagon. Super cool and very creative. I checked out your ahem lamps. Too funny. They are pretty and colorful. Brings back memories my Mom's living room in the 70"s. Girl you are ahead of your time, I tell ya.
Thanks for coming by and saying hi. Hope you have a blessed filled weekend.
Now that is really clever! I love that old box and never would have thought of adding wheels, but that is really a neat idea! I also admire anyone who can crochet - that is a skill I just can't master. I'm glad your husband thinks you're nuts - it translates to "wow! you're creative" :)
Very VERY cool! Magazine box on wheels is ultra genius, as those mags are heavy! Love your tool sorter too. You're outa organization control, woman! :)
Thanks for sharing on SNS!

Your secret is safe with me! Nicely done! Coming over from Funky Junk Interiors, new follower now!
Your box turned out great! And I love your muffin tin of goodies!
I love the magazine wagon, so cute and rustic!
oh Corny....that box has me gasping for air! My my! I love it! And let me just tell you how touched I am that you "grabbed" my button. When I saw it on your page....I let out a huge loving sigh! BFF!
I'm glad we're all a little nuts about this stuff! And that we're in the same ward together! Have a glorious Sunday!
I ADORE the box and of course the muffin pan, I will be looking for them myself now! Great idea's. Darn, cannot stop thinking of that rope box now!
The Old linoleum..thank you for your kind remarks. I harvest them all the time at estate auctions. I use the linoleum to cover tabletops, benches etc. Fun.
Cheers!

I am loving this!! I'm into your archives now and I've become a follower. I almost wrote flower, but maybe I could become one of those too??? When I read this post I went UH UH UH! You gave me a terrific idea. If I blog about it, I'll put a link to your post. I love your blog, did I say that??? Thank you for visiting junkblossoms. I might never have found you if you hadn't. Blessings, Pat
I love your portable box! and everyone needs a two year old to help with the sorting! lol
Thanks for partying with me at Prior Lives! Lezlee
You know, I have a HUGE tub of casters from an auction. I need to marry them to a great box now like you did. I really like it! and I agree, What's sorting without the help of a two year old, or in my case a 3 and 4 year old?!
I love that box!
hahah love your little wagon! :)
so cute
