    My daughter gave me this cabinet for my birthday last month and now it's hanging and being put to use.

    Our most recent big junqueing trip netted me three drawers originally in use with an old sewing machine.
    They are now in my kitchen.

    And in a raid on my FIL's back field I found a Chevy pickup truck tail gate...

    and a couple of rusty lawn mower blades. To hold them in the garden, Randy had pickup truck gun rack he no longer used..so a couple of metal rods, two zip ties later I have a new ornament.

    I like the tail gate Toni. Had you considered painting it with something whimsical?

    My favourites are the three drawers and the cabinet. I need all the storage I can get for my craft room and those would fit the bill nicely. Sooo if you ever get tired of them .... :D :D

    Who knew that mower blades could look so decorative. Great job with everything.
