Another use for milk crates, make your own potato tree! A bit of burlap, soil and to potatoes of you choice. It’s like a full size chia-pet.

Harvested lumber from a workshop and got a nice bonus of really cool vintage posters! All seem to date to the early 70’s. Need to do some research but hope to have them out this afternoon.

Another busy “day off” at the shop! The sectional is not something we normally take, but it’s too nice to leave for the dump. Harvested some great hardwood off-cuts too from a retired carpenter, but unloading may need to wait until the temperature goes down a bit. 🥵

Lots of new stuff coming in this week. The oldest is the 5 drawer dresser (circa 1800) and the newest, the IKEA Harmoni lamp (1980) the shipping crates (1960’s) are from the Compo Company, the first independent Canadian record pressing company 1918-1970. No, they won’t hold 33’s, but 78’s fit just fine.
