This may very well be the shabbiest of all of the items I have ever had the pleasure of finding.
Rust-laden and well loved, in its current striped-down state, this toy telephone becomes an art object. How could I resist? Funny how sometimes things with the most wear have the most appeal.
What is your shabbiest discovery?

Susan my best find was when we were cleaning out my daddy's shop. I found a front to a 1950's small black and white T.V. with the handle still on top. I brought it home and made a picture frame out of it. I put a black and white picture of the house I grew up in with a tree added with me and my sister in tree swings. It looks 3d because I cut my sister and I out of another picture and glued us to swings where we stand out more. There use to be a large tree in the front yard where we had swings hanging from it. My kids thought I was nuts when they saw me bring it home, now they want it when I'm gone. LOL. They said, "Only you Mom would of thought of that" LOL.I knew immediately what I could use it for. :)
Love your rusty phone, it shows it was well loved and it would be so cute to display on a desk or a gossip bench.
