What I Bought With My Birthday Money
July 25, 2015
What do you buy with your birthday money? Clothes? A manicure or pedicure? A night out? Not me, I buy old gears.
And an old screen door.
These items were quickly turned into a new junk garden vignette.
I also bought a teardrop shaped crystal prism. I have seen these many times "dripping" off an old pump on Pinterest. It's a fun idea.
I also purchased this old hanger marked "Wreary". I couldn't find any information on that name.
And this vintage folding hanger too. These two were a little more unique than some of my previous wall hangers.
I added them to one of my "hanger" walls in my small 3/4 bathroom.
That was how I spent my birthday money; a screen door, 2 gears, a teardrop prism, and 2 vintage hangers! And I'm happy!
Sharing is caring
I haven't seen the crystal dripping off the old faucet, so I pinned your photos. Cute, clever idea!

Love all your finds and how you have them displayed!
ReplyDeleteI would have bought them too - what a fun way to spend birthday money!!!
ReplyDeleteExactly what I would buy! If I get birthday money, it goes right into my wallet in a special junk fund.
ReplyDeleteWow, you did great with your birthday money finds! Pedi, manis,... only last a week or so, but you got something that you can enjoy for much longer! Love the gears! Happy Birthday! :)
ReplyDeleteHay! My birthday's coming up! I wish I could have some gears, too! I love them. The green screen door is gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteCarlene, happy belated birthday! GREAT finds and a wonderful vignette. :) Seeing the screen door reminds me of one my favorite sounds... the squeak of a wooden screen door opening and the slam of it closing. :))) Enjoy your wonderful finds!! ~ Christina

Great birthday presents. That's what I like to do too. Would love to find an old screen door like that one and I will take the gears too. Enjoy.
ReplyDeleteThose are exactly the kind of things I love to spend birthday money on too! I love all your finds/gifts! I'm loving the screen door!
ReplyDeleteHappy belated Birthday, Carlene! I totally get that :). I also rather buy some lovely junk pieces than clothes, shoes etc. Have fun with your new wonderful finds!
ReplyDeleteI love your purchases! You and I are alike in that we would rather buy some "junk" than clothes, manicures, etc. for ourselves. Happy belated Birthday!!!
