Well.....another weekend is slipping by.....

Another post to share another love of mine.....vintage cutlery!  I'm not sure where if when the love affair began....but my collecting of these wonderful pieces of history began a LONG time ago.

Not sure if it's the exquisite patterns that were once just common place or the worn patina that I'm drawn to.....but aren't they wonderful!  We are lucky enough to have a collection from my grandparents, brought originally with them out of necessity on their immigration from Holland.  My grandparents used them as young newly weds, my mother used them as a child and so did I....how wonderful!

So, my hubby asked me....what are you going to do with all these old forks and spoons?  Hmmmmm..."not sure" I replied..."can't I just have them?"  He blinked and said..."okaaaaay?!?

So, he doesn't share my passion, obviously, : ) but 

I guess I could share!

On with the thinking cap, and I came up with some wonderful creations with my collection to share with others!

Below are the results......enjoy!

holy, moly.....its FALL!  Yikes, where did the time go?  Its been kinda quiet on my blog.....but not so quiet in my brain, house or in my garage the past few months!  Friends, family and the odd road trip add up to me turning around and noticing the leaves are now yellow!  : ) 

I'm not sure quite where to start....hmmmm....maybe ladders, vintage cutlery, lovely chippy furniture, chalk paint......

Well, let's start at the top....ladders!  I really can't get enough of these!  I was drawn to them a looong time age in my studio and now the affair continues!  What to do with them?.....well, let's go!  The more rickety the better I say!  They are great as is propped up against a wall, or it could make a fantastic way to display quilting handi-work, or hang that throw for chilly nights.  I've added a few pics from my own home to demonstrate how awesome these pieces can work into a prim setting or in a modern home as a statement piece, as well!  I have a couple for sale, which I will list on the bottom of the post with pricing!  Enjoy every moment of the day!  terrie xox
