So, I’ll admit it openly: I’m a junker. I will stop the van for junk. I will shamelessly take it out of trash piles. I will stop at garage sales anytime I can. I love to fix up an old piece with gold old strong bones that someone else was going to throw away. I love old things. I just love junk.
I have had an old projector for a long time and have been wanting to find some of the old movie reels as well. I have seen a lot of plastic reels but was ecstatic to find this big box full of metal reels and other goodies. I snagged them for $5 for the entire box. You can imagine my delight as well to have the metal be blue. I’m thrilled to add these to my old camera collection that I use as decor {nice excuse for collecting, don’t you think?}
My father has always had a good eye for useful items and at a young age instilled in me the love for a good deal. Even as a teen I found great deals at garage sales and thrift stores. I wish I had a photo of my all time favorite: Lime green and yellow adidas shoes. I wore them until they were nothing but threads. Ah well…
