Huffy Highlander
Another crusty Huffy has made its way into our hands.
I love the patina!
The desert wears things in a way I'm not used to.
It's pretty sun bleached, but not too rusty.
Don't have any real plans of refurbishing this thing.
I think if anything we'll just polish this turd,
throw on some wheels,
& make er' into a rider!
Or not... it's pretty cool fence art.

Project Day: "The Show Case"
Bought this old suitcase on sale at an antique shop recently.
Wasn't sure why at the time, but the price was right.
When I got it home I set it up on it's side
& it came to me.
I'd make it into a display for my jewelery.
There are a ton of farmers markets and things of the sort here, so I'm hoping to
beef up the inventory & set up shop.
After a trip to Lowe's & an afternoon I came up with this neat little set up.
I love the pinstriping. |
Pretty cool, but really beat up. I didn't feel too bad about drilling holes in it. |
As you can see the handle was really rough & falling apart. |
Added some bike tube to wrap the handle & twine to cap it off. |
Added some cabinet knobs, twine hangers, and lights. |
So you get the idea of what it'll look like. Though I need to get workin' so I can filler' up! |
