School Bus Finds

We were pickin' a place out in the country,

and the fella told me where some items were

"out by the bus". What bus I said?

"The one in the blackberries over there."

So sure enough, other side of the blackberries was an old school bus.

And yes, school buses are yellow,

but inside they are my fave yummy green.

My sweet fella worked 4 hours to get these parts out.

The small panels in the first two pics.

And the dashboard!

  look at all the fun gauges

.

and the perfectly chippy rusty green paint.

and he even got the emergency door off!! yummy green inside,

 and school bus yellow on the outside. 

and here is the seat and base it goes on,

complete with the slider part for moving forward and back.

and look what great shape it is in.

Now to figure out prices for all of it.

Thanks for visiting.

Be blessed

Unique Way to Display Old Treasures

 

Here are some old treasures I found...

Thinking outside the box..... 

Here is what I did with a piece of it.

 Notice the green metal piece in first picture?

It is a shelf piece I think.

I turned it over and used back side.....

To put some unique display pieces in. 

 

And below it is all put together.

And the display around it.

(click twice to enlarge)

And here is whole area where it is...

Do you have a favorite part?

I just love it all!!!  =)

Blissful Whites Wedesday

Short post for Blissful Whites Wednesday today.

A lot of good finds this past week, just mostly other colors, and rust! =)

This bench is huge, and heavy!

Will probably outlast us all.
(sold)

I finally found more 'affordable' old white windows.

Been out for some time at the store.

They are going fast.
SOLD

 I know these are hard to see,

but they are the plastic pieces from the side of a birdcage.

I just loved the sweet dimensional design on them.

Someone wanted the bird cage they were on,

but not the panels. So now I get to have them.

To do what?? No clue. Just too cool to throw away.

(please click to enlarge and see detail better)

 

And lastly, here is a very unique piece.

It is metal, about 4". 

Must be some wonderful art this can be added to...

Thanks for coming by...

today joining Blissful Whites.

 I love this!!!!! talk about unique.

First I thought it was a miniature stove replica....

but then figured out it is an old, old lantern.

This is my fave piece right now.

about 7" high. A great conversation piece.

(I'm looking for just the right pic

of two old guys for that hole.) what do you think??

 old rusty cage. a replica...but still cool.

 I think it is the top to an old pencil sharpener.

 

the  green 'pencil sharpener' in a vignette.

 and more silver.....anyone have the initials H.W.?
