A find



I was thrilled to find this gorgeous old beauty this weekend.... It has the kind of old patina you cannot reproduce, layers of chippy paint and rusty knobs that make my heart sing...







This beauty (and many other treasures) will be traveling with me this weekend to Washington, as I will be a part of the Ruffles and Rust show in Monroe...!! Will I see you there?

    These are the kinds of things that make my heart beat faster and give me tunnel vision trying to get to the item. Great find!

    What a great find. I sure wish there was a way I could get that look with fresh paint and Lord knows we all have tried.
    Good luck with your show.

    I'll be there in spirit...on the sidelines cheering you on! Have a great show. If the rest of your merchandise is this beautiful, it should be a sell out!

    Thankfully you rescued this beauty in it's aged to perfection condition before someone took the notion to 'refinish' it! *smiles* I often get strange looks when I find something gracefully aged to perfection and the Seller is apologizing for it's condition and I tell them it's exactly as I adore and want it to remain! *LOL*

    It seems that you love mostly same things than I do! Vintage fabrics and cloths for example... My favourite time is 30's. Lovely blog!
