Time Travel Thursday #10 - Fun Funky Vintage Junk Décor

"We all have our time machines. Some take us back, they're called memories.

Some take us forward, they're called dreams."

~Jeremy Irons~

Welcome to the 10th Time Travel Thursday linky party at The Brambleberry Cottage!

Are you ready to share your fondest memories, grandest dreams,

and most creative projects?
Great, let's do it!

You know how much the Yankee and I love our junkin' jaunts.

After all, one can never have enough junk!  Am I right?  'Cause you just never know

 when you might need it.   ; )

For instance, a few weeks ago, the Yankee needed some for yet another one of his

totally unique creations.

So...

out to the barn he went.

And when he returned to the workshop, he was loaded down with an old

railroad lantern, some cool vintage insulators, a couple of rusty, crusty gears,

some tractor parts, and an old pulley. 

Then he plunder through one our boxes of lamp parts and came up with several

vintage brass pieces that had the most perfect patina.

Like a mad scientist, he feverishly worked to assemble his

assortment of gadgets.

The resulting contraption was undeniably futuristic!

Once he added the necessary components to make his creation functional—

an electrical cord, a harp, and a lampshade that was nowhere near as cool

as the last one—the creation came to rest

on the old table near our front door.

I suppose it can rest there awhile—until we can find it a new home.

For though I appreciate the artistic talent that went into this piece, somehow, 

it really doesn't quite fit the look I'm going for

in my tiny cottage farmhouse.   ; )

I'll be linking this funky junk creation to:
