Guns.

I find the best treasures at the Goodwill by my house. My secret? 


I go *gasp* almost every day. No joke.  


I don’t spend hours there though. Mainly I make a sweep - I walk through the store and if I don’t come across anything I’m outta there.  Thorough rummaging is reserved for my days off. On occasion there will be some great finds in the weekly Goodwill auction. 


On my last day off I found two vintage toy guns. Originally, I wanted to paint them gold (so gaudy, I know). I really love the monochromatic look though - more subtle and modern.

  1. For the guns you should have steampunked them. If you don't know what steampunk is, check out my blog steampunkgear.blogspot.com. I have one article where I steampunked a nerf gun. Of course that might not be what you were going for. Still I think it would have fit nicely with your other items.
