FOR SALE:  I have 2 metal items that would be good for some crafters.  First one is a crinkled piece of metal – 2’x4′. Came out of a remodeled garage that was torn down. I wasn’t there when they took it out so not sure what it’s purpose was. But I kept it for doing a craft project. Those that make name signs and cut metal with a torch can have some fun with this. I will post a pix – if I can get it on. Just weighed it and it is 5# and slightly bigger than the 2×4′ by and inch. Asking $35 for this great chunk of craft metal.  The second is a kitchen cupboard from my grandmothers home – from 48-58. I was downtown and saw a similar one being used to show the magnetic sayings they were selling. The shelves could hold other items. So I came home and redecorated it with my magnets and more. It is 2′ wide, 5’high and 12″ deep. Originally was white with black base. Aged to Ivory. Am asking $35 for this.   But would sell the 2 items for $50. 243-4376 but if I’m on computer and you get a busy signal, e-mail is Taqua@metc.net.  On the net if more than one are interested we might have a bit of bidding to do! LOL.  Please call after 5PM. Thanks.
