Getting a little rusty

The cutest miniature buildings now available at SuzAnna's ~ rusty roofs and vintage wood.


Dictionary: rust n.




1. Any of various powdery or scaly reddish-brown or reddish-yellow hydrated ferric oxides formed on iron and iron-containing materials by low-temperature oxidation in the presence of water.

2. Deterioration, as of ability, resulting from inactivity or neglect.
Saturday at Suzanna's ~ a 'still life' designed from rusty wheel barrows and old iron pieces.










Lovely vintage garden chairs.








Even I was feeling 'rusty' after so much time at home fighting a bug. I was dying to get over here to SuzAnna's to see what was happening at the shop. Everything inside and out had been reorganized by those clever gals - tons of new treasures to view. I loved the mix of colors created by rust.

More rust at another place I visited. The rusty look certainly seems popular.

  2. Whether it's popular or not, it is very hard to avoid as that rusting process is relentless.

  11. Some rust I love, and some rust I hate! Depends on where it's decided to land, lol. Cute stuff in the pictures, though... did you bring anything home? Glad you are feeling better!

  12. Dear Mary
    Thank you so much for visiting my humble little Blog and leaving a message of welcome! Your Blog is incredible and something I can aspire to. The photographs of your home and garden are just lovely. I had thought of Blogging for many years but always put it off because of time factors and that I did have website with an online diary segment. However a Blog enables me to meet lovely people like yourself which wouldn't normally happen with my online diary.
    Enjoy your day and I will see you again. It means a lot to me that people like Vicki and yourself took the time to comment. xx

  13. Mary,
    these little buildings remind me of Par Beach in Cornwall, they sit along the sand near the Beach and families own them or let them and spent the day or week there...

  14. Life's a funny thing isn't it? One lot of people probably got rid of these things precisely because they were rusty - now other people are paying out good money to buy them because suddenly they are 'shabby chic' rather than old and clapped out! I wonder if old, faded people will ever become the 'in' thing too:):) Sorry you haven't been feeling too good, hope all is well again now.
