Speckled, Rusty and Crusty ~

A wonderful photograph I found for you

at Antique Griffin the other day ~

Who would have ever thought that I would love rusty things ~

crusty old windows ~

or even pistachio shells??

Yes. Pistachio shells!
Today a little mail love arrived....
Hand painted pistachio shells that look just like teeny tiny bird eggs!!!
Sweet Sandy of Quill Cottage painted these and gifted them to me.
Can you believe how gorgeous and realistic they look??
Thank you so much Miss Sandy ~ I love them so much!
Each one is a little piece of art...

The rusty? A few more goodies I found at Antique Griffin

while I was putting things in my space...

I was joking with the owner telling them they get us

coming and going....first rent, then buying goodies every time we come in!

Just something I want to show you.

A precious doll coat Deborah gave me....

cinched with lace and old watch cases ~

it's so beautiful to me.

And the crusty old window?

Here it is finished, ready to go to the antique mall ~

Simple, understated and hopefully it will look well with

several different styles of decorating....
