Rusty Bike Wheel

I never thought a rusty old bike tire would look good in my home.

It just goes to show that you shouldn't be too set in your ways!

I passed these tires up once, but not twice!

 

 

The rubber was off, an obvious bonus.

Since the ones I've been seeing online are with out.

I did hack saw off part of the center so it wouldn't scuff walls

and to cut down on weight.

 

 

I stiff brush helped brush out lose rust & tire gunk.

Those wires were easy to snip out too.

 

 

The results?

 

Unique clipboard!

 

 

Oh so cute!

This one sold right away.

 

You might think they'd be best hung on a wall.

But I set mine on the buffet in front of a large picture.

It looks amazing.

I bought a few Easter postcards at

a recent occasional sale called Annie's Cottage.

 

I also made a tag using some fun Tim Holtz products.

 

 

 

There is something so fresh & pure about white pottery.

It really lightens up my dark display.

I just love it, and these two items were a steal for just a dollar each.

Man I love garage sales.
