Hubby went to the "junkyard from hell" and brought me home two excellent pieces. An old grinding wheel about the size of a big dinnerplate.
And a wonderful iron chairframe for me to mosaic another garden chair.
Thanks, honey.

How cool! We have one of the grinding wheels too, i had a neat one at my old house stuck in my patio, someone had put it in the concrete , it came from a old mill next door. The new chair frame ,im sure will be fun for you to do up! Can't wait to see your finished work...

Great finds. I know the chair will turn out to be another gorgeous 'creation by bethie'. Got any ideas for it yet?
What plans do you have for the gringing stone?

I don't have any chair ideas yet. I'll have to drag it around a find a place it will look good and then glass it to go with the spot. I'm really full up here. I may go ahead and sell a chair. 
I have a friend that the stone would look really good in her herb bed. If she oooh's and aaah's over it I may send it home with her.

I can see lots of potential with that grindwheel. Have you ever made a 'moving' project Bethie i.e. moving parts of some sort. A spinning mosaic maybe

Hubby sure knows what makes Bethie happy. LOL. I am sure whatever you do with the chair will be wonderful.

Great finds Bethie. My question is how many oohs and aahs does it take to get one of your finds? I'm sure I could come up with quite a few.
