Chippy Cabinet and Rust

I not only have rhinestones and pyrex I have chippy shabby crusty rusty things also in the studio and  the storage rooms.

I have a lot of things packed in  some of my vintage luggage which I like also.

I have tried to narrow my collectibles down to one or two things and can't choose just two things.

This is a little cabinet I bought at an auction last summer and it is really heavy solid wood maybe oak . I bought it because of the chippy paint coming off of it. Since that is the rage now and I wanted to set it on one of my shelves, I think  it had a drawer in this bottom slot. I wonder where was this used in someones home and for what  and why would they keep it in an old shed and not burn it or throw it in a ditch or hollow?

My grandmother said they always threw unwanted items in a ditch on the farm. Now where is that ditch?

It has a cute door lock           

         I like the cubby  holes to stash fun vintage things I have                

I put a few things in the cabinet as I found them in boxes and the old suit cases. I love this old white fat pitcher and the little metal scoop on the shelf

The white cup and dish came from Faded Prairie . I bought this nesting set of bowls at an auction a couple years ago  no one was bidding on it but then I made it real popular real quick so paid more for it than i would have liked to , the story of all auctions.But they reminded me of my Grandmother she had a water pitcher and small glasses with this pattern on it back in the day.

     I just love them all nestled together

This is an old painters tray  (water colors) that I use to put some things in while working on altered art cards you know little trinkets that i am using . Maybe i should give it a good scrubbing with paint remover

       I am really ready to let go of some of my treasures because for the mere  fact I just have too much stuff packed away . I don't want to start an etsy page so will sell it at a yard sale , if you see something you might be interested in just send me an email  most of the jewelry i will always keep                                      

I have several of these old door knobs (yard sale )

                                                          

 These are pot scrubbers

   In this jar is a few rusty ornate drawer pulls that I am looking for the perfect chest to put them on    and they will be painted also                                              

See I have things besides pretties. I don't know for sure where these were used some kind of door key hole maybe. I loved them thought they would look great on the outside of an old book

This is what most of the things were stored in

         

This is an old cushion cover barkcloth i think is what it's called

(yard sale)

I was looking out the studio window onto my patio              

My studio is in the lower level of my house my old personalized licenses plates are in the way      

I bought a new PT Cruiser when they came out and had PT PUGS on my licenses plates now I just have plain ole plates
