Pride of workmanship

As I've been renovating my daylight basement into my new workshop studio, I've come to appreciate workmanship...the attention to detail, the precision of lining everything up and be level, and the ability to have a complicated process look seamlessly simple...

A week or so ago, I caught the last day of a large estate sale...its always my favorite time to go just as the sale is winding down...what remnants remain that have been orphaned...those are the items I look for...

This trio fit the bill...add in the fact that the three pieces hit the high notes of old metal (yes!) and aged string (I have a thing about string), I felt I had hit the jackpot - and all for the price of a dollar!

Simple, everyday items...




















The intricacies of the ball of string are amazing...
how a closure was constructed from a small stick and a figure-eight wrap...






































































The font inscribed on the scissor's hilt...beauty in design...



















Joining the others over at Kim Klassen's Friday Finds...finding beauty in the simple things...

worth a look...
