holy overdue post, batman! (yet again)

my laptop died a few weeks ago. at first, i thought "no problem. i'll just use the boyfriend's laptop". except he uses it for work. all the time.

so please bear with me until i am able to afford a shiny new 'puter. on that note, i have things for sale HERE. want something not listed?  talk to me.

a Yale lock complete with keys and original tag

a bone folder (plastic, not real bone) featuring the Eureka Inn

other side of the bone folder

some awesome juice glasses. cattails!

a tiny broom head! i'm going to use this to sweep wood shavings off my work area

practically brand new vintage pinking shears in original box, plus some snips
these shears are manufactured in the town i was born in

silk buttonhole twist thread

i'm going to turn this into a birdhouse. the entrance will go below the circular divot

compass that doesn't quite point north

better late than never.

cute, bright, felt wall hanging...

..with an adorable plastic ladybug

really neat clip board

a small box and a medium sized box.

this will be a good container for pen nibs

nice broken-in belt with (uneven) hand tooling.

the buckle i will wear with it was made by local artist Mariele Ivy, and purchased at The Perish Trust

perfect!

a little owl

a coil of wire. this was found on the ground outside of the flea..
a serendipitous find, as i have been looking for a small length of coated wire for a project

2.5.12

i don't think these are particularly scarce or rare, but neat nonetheless

some small (meat?) hooks. definitely too small to be hay hooks

the smaller of the two has an inscription of some kind

a knob. second option to replace the passenger side window crank in my car

a wooden level. "antelope" brand, made in japan

1.29.12

some wood/lino cut tools

a hand clip! this is hanging on the wall above my work area, holding my goals in front of me

hopefully, this will be the handle for the passenger-side window of my car

got this a few weeks ago, but it immediately went on my key chain so it didn't get photographed
