creeksiderummager

We live next to a beautiful little creek. And, for years now, I have loved to Rummage through old stuff. Hence the name Creekside Rummager. I love flea markets, junk stores, and unique shops that are artistic in what they do with old stuff. My blog is a place to gather photographs of things I find beautiful, interesting,and fun. This will include rust, chippy paint, wire, and old junk, but will also include gardens, favorite places and animals. All of these things are apart of our lives.

back from Washington and Canada with rust

We drove about 2900 mi. on this trip. When we were on

Vancouver Is, at Salmon Point (about 3/4 of the island north on the east inward side) we stayed put for a few days. We were right on the ocean and the tide was bringing gifts in daily. This was one of the things we hauled home. My husband and our friends teased me a lot about the "bomb" I was taking home. We had a lot of laughs about this. I would have worried, but I knew our friends and my husband wouldn't let me bring it home if it looked dangerous. It is very heavy. I tried to carry it up the rocks in a backpack and nearly fell over when the weight shifted on my back. My husband retrieved it for me. It has a little lifted metal piece at one end, but it doesn't appear to have been a loop. It is about 8" long and maybe 6" across. Anyone have any ideas what it is?????
