So Rich and I drove to work the following morning and carried the most ridiculously heavy set of draws out to the Landrover (I have never pulled so many muscles in one go, I almost dropped my end twice!) so its now sitting in the living room until I get chance to make some room in the studio, I'm planning of keep my paints and brushes in it, much better than ending up on a pile of rubbish somewhere!
I LOVE managing to get my hands on free stuff, things that are considered junk, although it does sometimes astound me as to what most people seem to think is junk. Ok it's a little old and battered, a little unlove with maybe some odd peaces missing. So my questions to you is why, WHY would you throw something as cool as these out to be smashed up!?.... Yep thats right, these immensely cool vintage catalogue draws where on the large pile of stuff that was to be dragged off to the Tip and smashed up, luckily I work at the city Library part time and walked into our work room just as all this stuff was being collected. Needless to say most of my work colleagues now think I'm total potty for wanting an old oak 15 draw filing cabinet (with one draw missing), never the less I was given permission to take it away as long as I did it within the next 2 days.
