That my friend, is a fantastic thought! I'll do that~ I have just one more shelf that I want to build and on it, I found a bunch of old mason jars, from back in the days and I was thinking about setting them up on it. I found an old cross-cut saw that my great-great grandfather used to own, in one of my grandfathers old out buildings and I hung that up on the wall last night.
I have my Great grandmothers old sewing machine now, the kind that you would have to use a manual foot peddle in order to make it work. In the drawers (4 of them), it still contained all of her buttons, spare thread, needles, pieces of lace and all kinds of neat little things from back in the late 1800's and early 1900's. Up in the attic, there was an old box, and in it, I found an old china (with a light blue pattern), wash basin, pitcher and 2 small assorted little bowls. I'm going to set them on the sewing machine.
I also found some Baseball cards from 1931, metal cowboys and Indians figures, and stuff like that. I'm going to frame the baseball cards, it has (2) Lou Gehrigs in it.....
