This past Saturday May 26 was the first of the twice a year "Christie Conservation Area Antique Show & Sale". Its 10acres and over 300 vendors of awesome and I totally bailed on it http://www.conservationhamilton.ca/christie-antique-show. My girlfriend has been volunteering for a young girls group and Saturday was a 10km run that was part of that, I could have gone to the show myself but I know she likes it as well so instead I did something she hates and went scrambling thru a fav salvage yard digging thru junk and doo-doo to find some neat things, then spent the rest of the weekend fixing some botched gardens and cleaning up around the yard. I'm thinking I might make a short table out of the round pattern and get glass cut for it, the others I'll sell individually.
Your yard looks really good, and I can't wait to see what you do with the large round foundry pattern.
ReplyDeleteThanks Dana, it's tough to maintain and have a nice small yard when there is a large dog running around all day chasing squirrels, but I manage. The pattern I'd like to make a table, I saw another pattern that looked like a section of pipe about 18in long and 10in wide that I think would make a good base.
DeleteHey David. I'd be interested to know where that salvage yard with all the pattern molds is... .would love to do some digging as soon as the weather warms up. and i'm close, up in Cambridge.
