This weekend I was tricked into going to a swap meet....a car and car parts swap meet! Now I appreciate my car and the fact that it gets me where I need to go...but...as I
honestly rudely said to my sister on the phone when we were talking about this "I don't want to spend a whole day looking at car parts!"
Well, I will now have to admit that I enjoyed my day looking at car parts! First of all there was the company, my sister and her hubby, who are always fun to be with. Then there were a few things other than car parts to look at not many, but well I did see a dragon...
and who knew that alternators can actually be sort of well...pretty...
I have a new fascination now...old grills...
when I have my Brick and Mortar one day I am going to use some of these for displays!
For some reason I felt I needed to purchase these...
but I resisted - at least until I come up with an idea of what to do with them!
Even steering wheels look good when there are a lot of them in cool colours...
these inside your tire, wheelie, round....well I don't know what these are, but they look good too!
There was lots of old stuff and I love old stuff...so that was fun...
I saw some creativity...
some great signs...
Another use for those old grills!
and tons of people...all with something in common...
the art of restoring, rebuilding, reinventing.....
it took some smarts to figure out how to haul all this home...
and the dedication, knowledge, time, and sweat involved in creating something like this just amazes me...
so from screws and bolts...to...
copper weather vanes...I would have to say I had a great day!

It was a fun day!
