Brass Numbers Patina

Remember these numbers I showed you last week??

They were bright shiny new brass numbers..

I put them in an old pan,

added my secret potion....=)

and look how they turned out.

Like?????? Well, you know what a sharhing person I am,

so my 'secret' potion is not really a secret.

Here is the link on how to rust and patina new things.


Here is another treasure I used the same 'potion' on.
This is a padlock my sweet fella took apart for me.
(I just wanted to see what the insides looked like).
These turned out differently because they were a
different kind of metal. So fun to play.=)

Enjoy, and please feel free to email me if you have any questions.

I'm on FB too. 

I'm joining Tutorial Tuesday......lots of fun ideas there!!

White Wednesday Pumpkin and More

 I have good news..and bad news.....

 The good news is...I got this terrific metal box.....

for only $1.00.

 look at all the ways it could be used for display.

cubbies to set things in, and a little shelf on top....

sideways, it has cute little shelves....

 another way to have cubbies.....

Bad news ...the guy emailed me and said it was not supposed to be sold. =(

wah, wah, wah!!!! (he had my email cause his wife is a customer at my store...)

His wife sold it by accident and it goes with some mechanics stuff.

`````````````````````````

enough bad news: good news....

I got another pumpkin done.

I think Ilike it the very best...

but then I think I say that with each one. =)

It is white velour, with hand made white doily

(made by my Mom)

Some crinkle seam binding, and some bling.

  

and here it is in a little vignette.

 

and here is just a silly little idea..

an old tool belt with crow and pumpkin in it.

You can make anything Fall just by adding some fun!!

Hope you are all having a great week.

My Cash Register

 My Not So Thrifty Cash Register......

yep...probably paid too much.....

now trying to get  it to work.

 Dollars and cents will not work.....

 buttons push but do not do anything.....

 numbers roll but do not change when you push buttons......

Here are the papers that were on the bottom of the drawer...

 

 

 

 been taking it all apart to try to fix it.....

no luck yet......=(

Any cash register fixers out there???

 on the 'brighter' side, or not.......here are some 4" brass numbers...

in my "potion" of vinegar and salt to patina them up all pretty.

Will show you when done.

 On the fun side of thrifty....

This 1951 Salem Oregon phone directory.

look at these fun beauty salon ads....

love that old aged paper....
