Bucket Head

Bucket head is a term of endearment around our house. Started out when my oldest used to wear one of those McDonald's Halloween buckets on his head like a hat. Back when McDonalds used to give out good crap. Do you know I still have all of those buckets. Yep. Some things I can't get rid of. 

So anyway, I saw these galvanized farm buckets on craigslist the other day. I happened to mention them to Yanet from 3 Sunkissed Boys in an email convo that we were having. I said to her that I wasn't sure if I needed them. She said to me...Of course you don't NEED them!  What does that have to do with the price of eggs? Well that cracked me up! And duh, she was right. She's one funny lady that Yanet. And smart too. You must go visit her blog. She has tons of talent and she is full of creative and new ideas. Not to mention she takes wonderful pictures. Her boys are adorable and I like being reminded of when mine were that age. Time goes too fast people, relish the time you have with your kids when their little no matter how crazy they make you.

Boy I'm rambling a lot today. Must be all of this perimenopause crap running through out my body. Loads of fun. Just wait, all you young and fertile chickies. And NO it's not menopause yet. Dr. Oz said so. Most of the time I am not bothered by it but some days I am just off. I am so off today.

I got the buckets. I really like them. Two are 10 qts and 2 are 8 qts. I might plant them up next spring. Or I might sell them in my not yet Etsy shop. Still considering that one. I need to do something. I'm starting to accumulate too much stuff again. So, I met the lady at the Walgreens parking lot. I wish I had asked her if she would take less. Hubby said it was too late to ask, I had agreed to meet her, so I paid the lady and left. What do you guys do about haggling on CL?  Do you or don't you?

see you later,

Industrial Bits

I am joining Margo over at Margo's Junkin Journal. She's having an industrial chic party. I would really love to have more. I would love to have a old metal medical cabinet. I am constantly on the look out for one. I just don't come across much of it around here.

My shoe forms (or are they stretchers) that my son got me as a Christmas gift last year. I love that he took the time to go out and find something different for me. The old wooden level is from my father's garage. I recently grabbed when I went to visit my mom.

I have 3 metal trays which I love to use to layer things. The green round one is my favorite but I love the two white ones too. I think they look good mixed in with the silver.

I found this metal cage light at a thrift store. I don't have anything to wire it up with yet so I used it on top of a candle stick for now.

Do you love the look of industrial junk in your home? It blends in quite well with a lot of decor. You should stop by and get some great ideas.
