ChiPPy!-SHaBBy! ImPeRfeCtioNs & PaTiNa...

I*M*P*E*R*F*E*C*T*I*O*N*S

Sooooo Much More Interesting

 Than Brand New!*!*!

 ~ Let's Take a Look ~

•chipped-edge on the vintage frame •vintage bird/nest print   •tattered-edge books •hints of rust on white metal flower holder •shrunk/cracked plaster on scroll-base prop support •time-worn chippy patina on lamp base •natural time worn paint loss patina on table & shutters...

**~ ImPeRfeCtioNs ~**

*Lend so much more character

*One-of-a-kind

*No longer ordinary

Although this sweet little white metal flower holder was probably more recently made in china, it most likely was left outside to the elements - and has now acquired a NATURAL time-worn rusty patina ~ making this item

 MORE INTERESTING, MORE MEMORABLE,

 ONE-OF-A-KIND F*I*N*D... 

NATURALLY Rusty

In-All-The-Right-Places...

Naturally Time~Worn

~ ChiPPy!-SHaBBy! Style ~

Accented by a "Newer Whimsical Lamp" Shade

 which adds a lovely compliment to the LooK...

ViNTaGe BirdBaths!*!*!

S*P*R*I*N*G 

Has Finally Sprung in the Midwest!*!*!

One of my most favorite *joys* is watching

a ROBIN in a BirdBath...

YESTERDAY we mounted the tops back on the BirdBaths...

They just don't make them

 like this anymore!!!

The Robin's LoVe

 the one on the left the most...

  The extremely long... cold... Wisconsin Winter

 produced a fab time-worn chippy paint patina

 on my 2 favorite Old Concrete Birdbaths...

It was such a joy "smelling the earth" 

coming alive as we cleared

 the flower beds...
