Buckets, Buckets and more Buckets

AND PAILS.

We got them at DC Mach Inc.

Sometime back when I was closeout shopping in Vegas, I ran across a great deal on some galvanized pails - or buckets if you insist.

(Difference Between A Bucket and A Pail)

I was a little nervous about buying them, but the price was way right and the guy gave me free shipping.   You gotta love free shipping, right?

They arrived a couple weeks later and my warehouse guys looked at me like what little sense I was born with had evaporated.   My office girl raised an eyebrow and didn't say much.   Which is extra rare.

I had done a bit of research at the wholesale show and did more of that to try and find if I had any competition.     Didn't appear to be any.    I took photos, wrote the listing, factored in shipping costs and came up with a price.
They didn't exactly fly out the door but they started selling.   One here and one there.   One novel thing I offer is the sale of ONE pail anywhere in the world.   I know, you are thinking, Why?   Cause, some folks want ONE pail.  Just one.   I stop questioning at that point.

 I've since added more and more pails and buckets to our inventory.
I have red, purple, pink, fire, mop, and malt buckets now.    I even stock a selection of stainless feed buckets for livestock which is modeled above by my lovely assistant.
We have buckets and pails for every decor,  as centerpieces,for weddings, garden parties, arrangements, plants....that could possibly exist.    However, sorry for you few, NO I don't have milk buckets.   Yet.
I suppose they could even be used for protection and occasionally when apprehension drapes its moldy  blanket of fear over me I don my helmet.  
Ready to conquer the world if need be.

Cast Iron Horseshoes and why Everyone Needs Some

Umpf,  HORSESHOE  ....what is it good for!
Exchange WAR for Horseshoes, and you will probably recognize the song I was humming.  
No that song doesn't have much to do with horseshoes but it does have a lot to do with helping explain what cast iron horseshoes are good for.

First, Cast iron horseshoes are oddly versatile.
 I know, you are thinking "get a grip, I don't own a horse!"
Well slow down grasshoppuh, as I'm about to elucidate you.
We got these decorative cast iron horseshoes that are absolutely perfect for decorating your pad if you are into country, primitive, cowboy, rustic, or western decor.  Just add them in an artful manner to end tables, bases of lamps, on the wall and especially above the door.
  "Why above the door?" you ask.  Well in ancient lore a horseshoe placed above the door pointing up is good luck!  You point the ends of the shoe up to hold the good luck in.
Or, since a horseshoe carries in itself inexplicable good luck inherently  they are perfect favors at weddings.  Perfect in that they are small pony shoes at about 3 " tall, and they are inexpensive and memorable and practically unbreakable if the reception gets wild.
They are also great crafting items for kids.  Again they are cheap, tough, and safe with adult supervision.  I've seen children paint them, tie ribbons, feathers, and colorful string to them and glue beads, penny's, and lots of other whatnot.  They can be a uniquely made piece of art for any kid.
As for art, there is even sculpture made of them. 
There simply isn't any limit with a little imagination.
The one, the only, the crazy - versatile cast iron horseshoe.
