OMG!!! - **Decision Over-Load**

What do I keep???   What do I sell???

It's a REALLY HARD CALL ~ 

Since we have No Where to Go "just-yet"...

What I've decided to do is follow a few

 self-imposed guide lines!

*One-Of-A-Kind

*NATURALLY ChiPPy, Time~Worn Patina...

*Rare - To Less Commonly Seen...

*FaB Form/Lines...

*Do I REALLY LoVe It...

*Consider it's function...

*What are the chances of me finding something similar...

ALL OF THE ITEMS ABOVE 

MEET THE *Keeper Requirements*

What I LoVe about ViNtaGe, 

is that each piece tells a story...  

LoVe.... LoVe.... LoVe...

This Vintage Window/Door Frame!!!

JuSt FaB SMALLER SIZE!!! 

Hint of "old hardware" tells me that it was perhaps on a cupboard

GREAT FORM!!!

Naturally Time~Worn ChiPPy WHiTe!!!

Netted this FaB Piece at the Allegan Flea, in Michigan,

a few years back...  

I am NOT a big fan of fake/silk flowers...

I prefer naturally dried flowers, pods, herbs

 - from the garden/prairie...

- HOWEVER - 

These AmAziNg Paper-Like Flowers are an exception!!! 

A sweet... soft... hint of adornment for the Ice Cream Bucket!

Netted many... many... years ago in a small shop

in Geneva - IL...

Just Dripping with a Naturally FaB RuSty P*A*T*I*N*A...

NOTHING COMPARES

To A NaTuraL Time~Worn 

Paint-Loss PaTiNa

EACH PIECE TELLS A STORY...

One-Of-A-Kind

I suspect this BLACK BUCKET

most likely isn't very old,

 due to it's "thin metal construction"

~*HOWEVER*~

 -  it has naturally acquired it's share of

  dings... scrapes... chips...

Yielding a FaB One-Of-Kind Character to the piece...

PeRfeCtLy ChiPPy & Crazed

Paint PaTiNa

~* AwEsoMe Window *~

 great form ~ natural time-worn paint-loss patina

This Window Tells A Story!!!

I remember "the trip" we took to the event I netted it at...

I remember seeing it early-on in the seller's booth...

I remember a good experience with the dealer...

I still WONDER? - where was the house it came from...

Where was it positioned on the home???

on... and on...

~ VINTAGE ~

ChiPPy!-SHaBBy! ShoPPing - THIS PAST WEEKEND...

 wonderfully Chippy with lots of natural time~worn P*A*T*I*N*A...
