happy monday all! yesterday, before opening patinaWHITE at the hollow, i took the rare oppurtunity to peruse the field vendor's wares. i happened on a table of darkened silver goodies that made me stop dead in my tracks.
now i am sure you can imagine how i feel about "patina" given my business namesake and these were perfect examples of treasures that make my heart skip a beat! the mirror as shown {below} is marked with someone's scrawlings of mexico in the 70's. boy i am dating myself if i call this piece vintage! so let's just say it has weathered "well".
and the same family of newbies to the market had a pile of silver serving pieces. the darker the better i say...and don't even dream of me trying to polish these lovelies {below}! they are fabulous as they are...isn't the natural green verdigris great? i agree!
all that "silver" above was scored for very little "green". less than a big mac value meal! all the pleasure and none of the guilt! so off i went to open for the day...and what a glorious day it was! ideal weather and a wonderful gathering of customers! i appreciate all of you who stopped by!
on the subject of wonderful customers...I have had the joy of working with a delightful pair of sister-in-laws. one inspired the other with her patinaWHITE find & she had to have a similar necklace for herself. so without further wait, here is her much anticipated pw original designed heart pendant {below}. a little bit of wisdom to remember everyday!
and to close today...the trips to the porta potties at the hollow are usually not newsworthy. that is until today! on my way back to work i spotted an adorable little clipboard. flaky metal paint and all! a perfect mememto display if i ever saw one! good thing i had the {one} US dollar it cost in my pocket!
so there you have my metal mania! i'd like mine with an extra side of tarnish please! worn and wonderful...just how i love it! thanks for stopping by today and letting me show & tell you all about it...
