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.

Beautiful Vanity Accessories?


I bought a bunch of these, whatever they ares,
cause they are such a pretty color.
I know some of them are powder boxes.
They are made of a plastic sort of stuff.
Anyone tell me about them?
Is this bake light?
See the one with $6.00 on it?
It looks like a shoe horn.

These all have some sort of buffing cloth on them.
What are they used for?

And these? Are they manicure tools?


So pretty, but......
Why do I buy these things that I do not even know what they are?

Maybe this is a letter opener?

Not sure, but look at tha beautiful pearl handle.
Do you think that is Mother of Pearl?

And what about this sweet little treasure?
I thought maybe a baby comb.
Different and unique isn't' it?

Update on Accessories:
from Tete @ Beyond the Garden Gate

Your pieces are celluloid. Google it and it will tell you all you need to know.
The buffers are for your shoes- to take the dust off of them and shine them up.
Baby comb for sure.
Manicure set, some for women and some for men. Little hook is a button hook.
Shoe horn is for ladies boots.
They are very old.
And yes- the letter opener is mother of pearl.
Celluloid was the first plastic.

Thanks Tete. Now we all know what they are.
Maybe I found a real treasure! =)



Now I know this is a fireplace set.

I just loved the ornateness of the tools....

And look at this base.
Hard to see, but it has beautiful details on it too.

Not much crafting going on right now, with taxes,
and changing the store around, but hoping you enjoyed my finds.
(I have managed to find time to SHOP!) =)

blessings and have a super week.
