Rocky Swap Meet 2011 - Part 2

Ok, I've been M.I.A for a few weeks now but I have a really good reason... really I do. I have just recently finished my STEPS studies at Uni and boy was it full on with assessments and exams. I have taken on an optional study course in maths so that I don't get rusty leading up to the beginning of my Undergraduate studies next year but that should be less time consuming. I hope.

Anyways peeps, here are the pics of my "purchases" from this years swap meet. Unfortunately I didn't get much as I was having some serious back pain that day. I am however happy with what I did get.

The first item I found was this wheel rim and whatever it came from it was small. The diametre is just a tiny 14.5cm but I did have a project in mind when I picked it up. It was late in the afternoon so it would probably come as no surprise that I got a discount on it. I held it up and asked the vendor what he wanted for it... he said I can take it, FREE. Can't get better than that I hear you say? Oh but I did do better my friends. It was sitting with a set of four larger wheel rims and the guy said I could take them as well.

The small tyre rim I got for FREE

... and the four extra wheels also for FREE. Bargain!!!

These guys are 16.5 cm in diametre

The next lot of stuff I got came from another stall. I've got no idea what I'll be using these for yet but I'm sure inspiration will strike... maybe Pinterest will help me on this one.

The final item I purchased is this contraption. When I saw it I thought it was actually a hook, but apparently it's some type of vintage hand held gardening hoe. Sorry for the poor quality on this one.

See that hole at the tip? I'm guessing that's the screw hole for a timber handle. Don't you just love that rust?

Next year I'll be a little bit more prepared an maybe a little bit more fitter and lighter :-P

Part 3 of the Rocky Swap 2011 tour will feature what I call "Ugly dolls" although my Mum absolutely LOVES them.

Cheers
