HIDDEN TREASURE

My hubbie loves to fix up vintage bikes and this one  is his latest re-creation.  Rust and flat tires were all you really could see and while in the process of  refashioning, cleaning and restoring it to its previous splendor, he made a fun discovery.


  A DOLLAR BILL TUCKED AWAY IN THE   HANDLE   BAR

It would be fun to know the story behind that dollar.  As you can see by the rust around the edge, it has been there a good long time, through many a rain or snow storm.  Was it being saved for a rainy day?   Seeing as the bike is from the mid 60's a dollar would have gone a long way if you were going to go to the corner store.  As well the dollar went out of print many years ago . Oh the stories that bike and bill could write.  The beauty of the bike is the fact that my hubbie saw beauty beneath the rust, and recreated it into a once again rideable beauty.  And just goes to show 

"You Never Know What You Might Find" when hunting or working with those old and discarded treasures !!!

10 DAYS TO GO

It is hard to believe.. but 10 days till The Vintage Chicks Sale in Priddis.  I've heard tools buzzing and had the aroma of fresh paint and the sound of creativity wafting throughout the Province of Alberta reaching me here in Calgary and at my shop Wow and Then in Longview.  I've heard the excitement of vendors and customers alike and we are so excited about sharing this great venue with each one.  Hope that each of you have ear marked either Friday June 10th  4 - 9 pm and Saturday June 11th 9 - 5 pm.  The food at our  "Inhouse Concession", run by Amy Nicole Catering,  promises to be to die for and don't forget to have your momento picture  taken at our " Vintage Hat Photo Booth" ,  photos by Gumdrop Photography with Heather at the camera.
There will be something for everyone inside and out and our hopes are that the day will be filled with fun, laughter and great finds..
Till next week,

Pam
