I brought in several fine metal finds to my space at Faded Elegance today. I can't put my finger on why metal and rust appeals, but it does! These metal boxes - whether they be fishing tackle boxes or tool boxes - are great for organizing. At home, I have one for holding old photographs, one for containing loose knobs and drawer pulls and one, a lovely shade of blue, that is my cash box when I am doing art shows.
This is a close-up of the blue box I brought back from Yakima - love the large leather handle.This green metal box has a removable, divided drawer that sits just under the lid. The metal bowl is vintage aluminum with a marvelous engraved floral pattern.
Details from both the box...
and the bowl.
I'm not quite sure what this was - some sort of galvanized sieve - but I love the patina...could be bowl for fresh fruit or veggies just picked from the garden...
"Summer's Bounty" continues at my space at Faded Elegance
until the end of August - Enjoy!
