You know those carts the Goodwill rolls out hoping the hoarders (you know 'em, they're the ones who grab a cart as soon as they walk in the front door) clean off so they won't have to find a place on the shelves for the stuff. That's were I found both of these items! But relax, I didn't fill up a cart...or block all the aisles with it either.
When I told the cashiers at the Goodwill today that I might put legs on the Coca Cola crate or hang it
as a shelf, one of them got real serious and told me I better check out what it's worth first 'cuz they sell
things for a couple-a-bucks all the time what's worth Hundreds of dollars. Really? This actually
happens? I didn't let on that I already know this...and that I'm one of those people in there for just
that reason. I just said the same thing I say about any of this stuff: it's really only worth what
somebody will pay for it. The Boos Block was at the downtown location. I know...it's not vintage.
It's actually brand new, or at least never used. You cookin' types out there know what Boos Butcher
Blocks go for. If you don't cook...you probably don't care and probably aren't even reading this far,
but here's what one could expect to pay for one of these new on line. Of course, I won't be asking
anything like that in my booth at The Green Shag Market.
Speaking of The Green Shag Market, what do you think about the idea of a Gift Registry either in my
booth, at the antique mall in general and or here in this blog (you know...on another page) or maybe
on the antique mall's Facebook page. Sound like a good idea? Would you take advantage of such a
thing?
I made a similar coke crate into an ottoman by adding legs, a puffed up bit of plywood and some braided trim. Super comfy. = )
ReplyDeleteHi Samma.
DeleteHey! That's a great idea! I've actually got a few more of these out in the garage that I picked up at an estate sake years ago. Never could figure out what to do with them!
