I did mention before that because I couldn't get onto the internet much, I spent the time on editing and sorting my photos instead. And ended up sorting them into lots of categories, lol. I thought today I would show you the metal and enamelware finds.
I found another old copper kettle for my collection, I like the kind of fluted design -
Next is this pair of hooks. They are quite amazing, I just love those faces. I have never seen any quite like these before -
This coat and hat hook is one of my favourites, I love the feel of the wood, and the shape is so pleasing -
Curtain rings, I adore these big old gold metal rings -
A sweet old tray, perfect to use as a little pin or brooch tray -
and a gorgeous little PARIS souvenir tray, featuring the EIFFEL TOWER, of course -
I love love love old French enamelware, and I can never resist buying a piece or two when I am out and about. The colour of this pitcher was such a good match for the green French chair -
These gorgeous old French lunch pails are fabulous for kitchen storage, I love seeing them in a row on a shelf. The colours are just so delicious -
I'll try and post some more pics tomorrow, of little metal bits for mixed media collages etc.
The weather forecast is good for tomorrow, so we will be tackling the horrendous jungle in the front garden tomorrow. Almost 3 months worth of weeds and brambles of all things! YIKES! Serves us right for spending the summer in France, lol, right?
