Week 12 ~ Diamonds In The Rough!

Diamonds In The Rough! is my weekly feature, where I show you the treasures that I find from garage sales, thrift stores and antique stores.



Here goes...






I know what you are thinking..."What is she gonna do with that?". I just thought it was cool. It's very large and made of some kind of plastic foam. It will be mounted on the house...I think. It was only $4 so what the heck!



This $1 handled frame will become a beautiful French tray next week!









A 25¢ oil can that will be put in my mall booth.



A brand new table with glass, $2. Remember when I made the top of one into a clock? (below) This time I will keep this and use it to elevate a Christmas Tree.




Table top made into a faux clock.





Two more feed sacks from the antique mall.



A frame to transform someday soon.



A silver butter bowl with lid, 40¢





Same dish...just cleaned my new way...see below.
Remember my post on a new EASY way to clean silver? You can see it HERE. Basically you just pour in hot water and 4 tablespoons of this product...



for every gallon of hot water in a sink lined with aluminum foil. Then set your sterling silver in the water on the foil and a chemical reaction happens. Within about 5 minutes or so, you have a clean silver product without the hard work.

So after cleaning this, I also got a heavy tray at a garage sale and cleaned it too.




$1 heavy silver tray





Oh this is a keeper now that it is all clean.





Out with the bigger tray and in with the better quality one!
And lastly...Look what I found for $10! See the shoe box? It is full of crystals.

So this needs rewired, which I can do, but also this could be an opportunity for greater things like my version of this...
