I've always had a love of old things...I like being surrounded by pieces that have a sense of history about them. Searching flea markets, auctions & antique shops for these pieces is a favorite pastime of ours. So much fun!

I'm always on the lookout for old enamelware to use in and around my potting shed.

I love the color of this old oil can!
