This candlestick below, is perfectly chippy, weathered and has been heavily loved. I could not pass up all that chippy-ness (its hard for me to pass up anything chippy actually)
So, this is something simple... a rusty ole industrial bin with adjustable compartments. Simple, but fantastic... its as rusty as I like it, and with the adjustable compartments, it is fantastic.
So, this little gem.... Doesn't it just make you wonder what little child played with them? Sat on the sidewalk and drew a hopscotch board with them? What mother gave their $.10 for these little guys so their kids could sit outside and draw pretty pictures on the cement? Fantastic find if you ask me!
Remember that the most valuable antiques are dear old friends.

ReplyDeleteI know right!?
Deletelove the claw foot!!! and i know what you mean about wanting to keep everything! my rule is this: if i really want to hold it, i do so for a few days, weeks, sometimes months. usually i can let it go after that. and if i can't? well, then it becomes mine for keeps. but i have to send one thing out of the house to replace the item i kept. it seems to work for me!
