This is a vintage deli paper dispenser I picked up on my Junking Weekend, December 27-28, 2008! What do you do with a vintage deli paper dispenser? Well, I came up with 19 (yes, 19!) repurpose ideas for this wonderful vintage item. You can use it all around the house! In fact, there are so many ideas, I couldn't fit them all into this post! You'll have to visit me at WhisperWood Cottage to see the remaining 8 ideas. Which is your favorite? Any other ideas? Can't wait to hear!

P.S. How about in a garden shed...with some hooks to hang garden tools, etc...?? (#20?):)

Thanks so much for sharing, Amy!

SeaGlassLady writes: You've beautifully demonstrated the wonderful versatility of junk! How much more satisfying it is to repurpose an item most people would trash than to purchase a new object designed for a specific purpose! Posted: 8:22 am on February 12th
