Re-purpose an Op-shop Plate Rack

I thought I would give you an update on my Op-Shop finds.

This is my latest collection:

My task today is to  Re-purpose an Op-shop plate rack – well I think it may be a plate rack.

Does it go this way?

 

or maybe this way?

 

No, the rounded edge doesn’t work for a base and look , it still has the price sticker on – $2.00!

Now as you may remember, I have been searching for a plate rack solution for the Motorhome.

 

So out with some plates for a trial ….

Aww – they don’t go down into the slots enough to be stable …. PJ has already suggested that is it doesnt work as a plate rack that he might use it as a roasting rack!  Well, while I’m partial to a yummy roast, I’m sure I can use this some where!!

Wait just a minute – I think I’ve got it!

 

YES!!!  A perfect fit!  Now I have a safe, storage system for my new Accuquilt Dies .

Here they are, in my Craft  Room, sitting on top of the ice -chest (and don’t tell PJ but there is still room for more dies!)

Well, I’m sorry Poppy John, but your roasts are just lovely without the rack and I obviously NEEDED it!

Don’t you just love it when something works-  and you have to LOVE the price tag!

Ok,  I confess to being an Op-Shop tragic but I have so much fun searching, finding and re-purposing.

Do you enjoy  an Op- shop visit?  I would love it if you shared your finds too!

In the mean time, I still have more items to think about!

Until next time
