So you found a bomb box . . .

            At the same yard sale I found my apple peeler in (see previous blog), I also found a box in which bombs were shipped during WWII.  I tell you, people in Villa Park have crazy stuff in their garage.  If I wasn’t negotiating with my grandma, I would have haggled her down, put I paid the asking price of $10—something my husband still hasn’t forgiven me for yet.

            I wasn’t sure what I was going to do with it.  However, with the help of Keystone Light, we ended up with this…



            The mirror next to the buffet we found for $1.  It was too heavy to hang, so it was perfect on the buffet.  To the left of the mirror, is a succulent picture (I’ll blog about how to do that later).  Throw in some insulators with battery-operated light and you’ve got a sexy place to put some grub. 



The bullet casings and shells and dog tags were found at an old WWII airforce practice shooting-range on Clark Dry Lake Bed in Anza Borrego (many stories to tell from there—all involving a red neck Christmas).


Underneath the buffet is the perfect spot for growing lettuce.
