Beauty comes in all forms....

Check out my beautiful bloomin' bathtub...

...and the treasures my hubby and son brought home to me from the antique tractor show they went to...yes they are all beauties to me!

A wonderfully rusted folding rule (I stand corrected, it is not called a ruler but a rule I learn something new everyday :-), and 4 rusted cast iron faucet handles!!

Can you just see all the endless possibilities?

  1. You can make great charms from that old ruler! Did you know Michael DeMeng has a book coming out about making art from rusty things? I'm waiting anxiously for it - although I don't have any 'rusty things' myself, LOL.

  6. Don't be offended please, but:
    You should never call it a "folding ruler." The proper name is a "rule."

    I know because I collect them and have all the ones from my family passed down since the 1800's. :))

    You have a love "rule."
