This isn’t exactly a junk drawer item, but it does have a lot of potential junk drawers. I found this dresser down the alley a couple blocks from where I live. I put it on craigslist, describing it as “shabby chic.” I wasn’t able to get it sold before the zine fest I was about to leave for. Then I realized this dresser had the perfect drawers to use as part of the junk drawer display at the fest. So, I took some of the drawers with me and filled them with zines. They looked good, and one person there even commented that they were nice drawers.
Now I’m back to selling the dresser, so the drawers have to go with it.
If I do another zine fest, I’ll need to find some other drawers. Maybe some junked drawers.
This is a nice, well-made old dresser, and whoever left it in the alley I’m sure expected someone to pick it up. But they probably didn’t expect that part of it would be part of a zine fest. It’s interesting the way things can get found and passed along.
Wow, that IS nice. I wonder why whoever put there, didn’t bother to sell it? Oh well, it’s your gain.
