Patina Green, and Rusty Day

Haven't seen any 'green' memes in blogland,
so having one of my own.
Seems I have been finding a lot lately
with this color of green. Lovin' it!
Above" perfectly rusted, green, unique tin.
It is scalloped around it.
Can you see it??


Little green garden claw.

Small patina blue/green rake.

Old tins, and bright twine.
Rust and patina garden critters
Love these!!

And when is old, too old??
Or maybe I should say too worn.

broken handles OK?

Tattered and worn OK??

This is a small trunk, about 15x9 or so.
I just love it.
More pics to come.
click to enlarge for detail.

Sweet blessings friends.

Vintage Inspiration Friday

Outdoor Wednesday Critters


I love squirrels
This one was sitting on top of my bunny head,
but by the time I got my camera it had jumped down.

My daughter and I were on a house hunting drive,
and in the yard next to where
we turned around she saw this deer.
She asked me if it was real, and as I started to say 'no',
it ever so slightly moved it's head.

It was just sitting there in their yard!
So at home.
Always makes me smile to see God's critters. =)

Thanks for joining me for Outdoor Wednesday.

Rustic White Day



Don't ya just love this old window box?
It was on the side of a shed at a barn sale.

Perfect peely, and old.
Do you think these would make cute hangers
or wall decor? Outdoors could hang a hose on them.
Inside a towel.
They are actually corner pieces to a closet storage shelf.
Metal, with just a tad of rust starting.

Love perfectly rusted metal?


I got 4 of these beauties!!!
I'll add seats and backs,
or, someone else can. =)
Old marble desk pen holder with clock.
And below is one shelf of a new little goody at the store.
I'll show you the rest tomorrow.

Blessings and Happy White Wednesday.

A Little Sweet Pink


Brand new, bright pink roll of pink tickets.
Sweet?? No, just OK.
Sweet, is this granddaughter of mine.

Camille. 16. My right hand gal at the store.
Helps me clean, tag inventory, move furniture,
decorate, and most of all is just one encouraging,
lovely, sweet young woman.

And you should see how well she is doing
with her driving lessons.
Her teacher? ME.
And I'm lovin' it!

Happy Pink Saturday everyone.

More "Outside the Box" Time

Remember this?
From THIS post?

I used an old drill bit box for a little photo holder.

Well I've come up with another use.
And I LOVE this one even more!
I have lots of these old pocket watch faces
in the store. Cute way to display them, yes?

How about adding an old photo again.
And clipping it in place, and making this.


I'm lovin' it!! =)
Thanks for coming by
