VTT and TT@ Bloggeritaville

Thrifty Thursday takes place each Thursday and is hosted by Leigh at Tales from Bloggeritaville,

It's Vintage Thingie Thursday over at Colorado Lady's place...don't forget to go by and tell Suzanne how much you appreciate her sponsoring it for us...

Since I have started feeling better and still trapped in the house because of rain and cold weather I am getting bored, so when bored I start piddling...do any of you do that? just piddle into everything....Well Sat we redid dear hubby's closet, of course nothing got threw away, he is such a hoarder, but it did get rearranged and like items hung together and selves straightened and shoes organized. Men, can you believe some of his clothes have been in there since the 1970..I'm not kidding a suit & shirt I bought him in 1976 when I first went to Packard is still there, he says it's a classic and he's going to lose down one day and wear it again...Phstt it's a 34 he's in a 42.......it will never happen. He's got to diet first....

Anyway, I get side tracked so easy, while digging I found this  item buried under a bunch of junk on his shelf...NOW HOW DID THIS GET HERE, I asked? He just srugged, who knows. Oh, he infuriate me sometimes.

This is an old vintage item I found at a Thrift store a few years ago and bought to use on the desk for opening the mail and it had disappeared a good while back. I was so happy to find it and thought it would make a good item for today since it was a thrift store item and a Vintage one at that..

 Isn't the patina on this great?...

OK, now back to piddling, no telling what I'll find.
