Texture and patina.....

Seems those two things always draw me in.

I found these wonderful little containers

(and yes, don't choke, they ARE peat pots)

at my local Dollar General!

They seem to be a bit sturdier than your

typical peat pot plus the texture on the

sides is beautiful ~ They are also a pretty

vanilla color....perfect for Easter favors or gifts!

I'm always looking at textures and weaves of fabrics ~

The elegance of beautiful penmanship ~

they must have had strict classes back then!

I imagine it was hard to write on a book spine with pen and ink!

This stained pitcher is so beautiful to me ~

Old sheers

Speckled books, cracking at the spine ~

But just look at it's embossed cover!

The soft, crackled leather of an antique baby shoe

with beautiful scalloped edging detail.

Speckled rusting here and there ~

Do I need help?
