Patina or Dirt???

It's amazing what you find under dirt.

Sorry! - that we haven't posted.

Hubby & I went on a quick vacation to Nevada with friends. The 80 degrees temp. change was sooooo nice, but now it's back to Int'l Falls - cold & snow!

Krista is always on a mission between teaching, hockey, dance, church, Sunday school, volunteering, and keeping our booth at Old Town Antiques looking fabulous, Thank you dear!

I try to help as much as I can, but we live 160 miles apart. We do travel down often, but I wished I lived closer, so I could help her more in the booth. I try to stay one week a month at her house. That's my time to spend with my Grandbabes, and help out, love it!

So, here's my latest find -

I found this old toolbox at a thrift store, and knew it would be perfect for my bathroom. It took me 5 pails of water to get it clean, ewww!

Then it was off to the bathroom to make my garden vignette, I was so happy with how it turned out, except it doesn't fit, it's too big! Now I need to find another place for it, and I WILL!

I added old garden tools and flower frogs.

I had to add a nest and the old brass hose nozzles fit perfect on the lid.

Now back to the "Patina or Dirt"???

Have you heard of the Hantavirus? You get it from mouse droppings. We know of someone who died from it. I know all old stuff comes from sheds, attics, garages, and guess who lives there? Yup, Mr. & Mrs. Mouse & probably the little ones too.

You need to wash everything before you bring it into your home, esp. if you have children.

You must wear a respirator if you sweep out old sheds and attics, please be careful.

I want you to keep Junkin' & Recycling, but please be aware of the dust and dirt.

Ok, this is your Public Service Announcement for the day, I'm done.
