Now, I love old cutter quilts, watches, metal & glass pieces of anything disposed of, especially non-matching, old china, vintage linens, puzzles,game pieces, flea markets, garage sales, and thrift stores are the best, even the trash on the street that I can save from the landfills!
This is my first year for the Texas event but I look forward very much. I will be looking you up.
I did get to meet Sue and got two of her books. The weeklong event was fabulous and I hope to return every year.

Re: It's a Salad Spinner
This is really a fabulous idea, who'da thought? I will have to look for the metal more when I am out and about. I like the universal ideas of salads and candy, how about a jewelry display in the bowls and keep the tuba flowers vase always in anything? How about maybe even a lace and ribbon organizer also? Let's keep thinking!
