Unusual Blues

 To celebrate Blue Monday I'm sharing this

 old Tom Thumb Typewriter I found on vacation.

 Love this turquoise blue color.

 and the little keys, with letters and numbers on them.

 Blue bowl, and see the blue pot holders and doilies??

One is a little crochet blue dress pot holder.

adorable.

 Remember when thread cost 15 cents? Seems like yesterday.

 

not sure why I love these, but I do,

and this one is blue.

Some fun little ideas coming for these

on Tool Time Tuesday!!

Please join Sally and the other gals for

Fun Finds Friday

Sometimes I find really cool things,
but have no clue what they are.

But totally cool.
It is cast iron, heavy, and about 9" tall
with that wing nut at the top.

Look at this detail work on the base.

Ye olde string holder.
It can stand or be put on the wall.

Pewter child's mug with engraved ABC's


Gifts from a friend.
She knows I love clock faces,
so thought I would like these to play with too.
Will have to do something creative with them.
They are kind of cool. Rust maybe????

cool... spools for wire.

Better get these cleaned up...

and in the store. =)

Where did I get this????

Ever find a bag of things and do not even remember buying it?
I mean your cleaning up, right?
And here is this bag.
Well, that's what the items above are.
That white 'thing' is a baby coat.
Very old. Very thick fabric.

Here is the back.

And a closer look of the trim.
Yep. All torn, and worn, but beautiful!!

OK question:
Would you leave coat as it is?
Or take it apart and use the lace to make other treasures?

This is an extra White Wednesday Post.
(cause I just found the bag today)

Please go visit Kathleen to see more lovely whites.

tiny little tatted pieces and other little treasures in it.
