You never know what you will find in some of the junk lots at the auction houses. This past weekend I bid on two large junk lots, not something I normally do. These lots are a mish mash of several boxes of non-vintage items. (pillows, baskets etc...) I make sure to dig through everything before I haul away want I don't want to keep. Found this lock at the bottom of one of those dirty boxes. The scale was in a large vintage metal lot and had some really cool stuff. I will post more photos later. Still cleaning up everything.

Years ago a local dive shop had a photo of a diver who caught a halibut so big he had to throw it over his jeep to take the picture. Our little spoof with our daughter sitting in her toy jeep with dad's halibut on the hood. 1987
Some times you just have to do something different and see the world from a another angle.

What's with the blog name?
Flat Fish Paper Arts was born many years ago when blogging first started. My family did a lot of camping and diving along the California coast. California halibut are huge fish that start out as any normal fish. As they age, one eye will start to move to the other side and the halibut will become flat so it can lay on the bottom of the ocean with both eyes facing up.
I always like the idea that we all start out the same but life experiences slowly changes us. In my case, my creative talents went the way of paper arts. Flatfish are always looking up when they mature and as with any artist, we see inspiration in everything around us - always looking up.

That lock is awesome. I can see some "vintage" artistry coming from you????
Love the beautiful lock and the printer's cabinet and the scale. You get the good shopper award!
The bees are scary, though.
