How The Other Half Lives

Barry has been busy, too! One of the things that attracted me to Barry was his frugality. He'd get up early on the weekends to go tag sale-ing. Little did I know that it REALLY meant he's a closet hoarder! LOL!

After years of collecting junk at tag sales, flea markets and auctions, he began tinkering with the stuff and was inspired when he read an article about a similar artist in my latest issue of Flea Market Style magazine. Suddenly all that "junk" lying around the basement and on his work bench in the back yard looks charming!

I set up an Etsy shop for him today. Check out his first listing: "iHeart BYBot."

You can check it out here: www.bybots.etsy.com

BYBots: Back yard robots. Made from found objects, JB weld, soldering techniques. What Barry does when not driving school buses or selling ads for Metro Woman Directory. (In fact, as I write this, he is in the back yard fusing together an old tea kettle and vintage welders goggles.)
