Apart from my love for nature and creating, I also have a passion for interesting patinas and textures.
Multiple layers of peeling paint and a healthy dose of rust can send me into a squealing, hyperventilating spin.
Antique shows and junk shops is like a candy factory for me.. :)
I love pieces that show their story, ..you can see they have had quite a history.
With this first post I'll start with showing some new pieces I found yesterday at a big vintage show in Austin.
This delightful pie chest is over a hundred years old... it was just right for some of my old art papers and supplies
the fan still works and oscillates beautifully..
My 4 year old loves this 'new' hole punch.... little white circles are all over my floor :)
Croquet anyone ?
I am so glad I'm not the only one going crazy for rusting material! The colours in rust are amazing. Love the dresser too, can imagine some old peach pies in there :)
ReplyDeletelove your "pie" cupboard,and the fan...perfect for a studio..
ReplyDeleteOoooo Helen, these are wonderful!! Don't you wonder about the people that used these in their everyday lives? The stories I bet your treasures could tell! Love ~ Leslie
