A tribute to my grandmother - waste not want not

This is what junk collecting is all about!

I remember my dear grandmother- had one of these wrought iron shelves proudly displaying ceramic flying ducks and other such items that are now very trendy to have!!

Here's a selection of my before photos.. The chair ($5) and blue wall display ($2) were both purchased from the Mosgiel Salvation Army shop on Gordon Road. I was fortunate enough to have a former student transport these items to my car. I'm sure he is still wondering why I can't buy these items brand new!

Here's my answer:

Over the next few weeks I will be transforming the ugly duckling you see before you (and the op-shop items!) into 2 beautiful swans. Watch this space...
