~*Vintage Plant Stands*~

Needing some advice on these plant stands. In my last blog I mentioned garage sales and how I got two plant stands one was for only 50 cents which was this one.

I plan to keep this one inside because it does not have much rust and I would like to keep it in the shape it is.
Now the second one I paid 2 dollars for it is the unpainted brass one (I adore it)
it has some rust going on and I do not know whether to leave it or give it a brand new paint job.

The one next to it in the picture was given to me by my Grandma, it was her Mother's. When I was given this it was brass and rusty, I then painted it a bright yellow and it sat that way for a few years. Then I changed it to the way it was painted in the pic and it has been blue and white for about 3 yrs. Now my question is these are going to be outside and I would like to give them a makeover. I would love to paint them in the same color so they match. What color do you think would look great on them? I just really can't decide, and I would appreciate any input.

Fancying wallets

Okay so I have no clue as to how my wallet fascination started but it has. I guess it started by the cute little vintage convertible buxton I found, which then led to me buying myself a 70's vintage green wallet. And now on Saturday I found this adorable shiny gold daisy pattern wallet.

(Which of course I bought) Now the good thing is I paid next to nothing for it. The thrift I was at was having a "fill a bag for 2 dollars sale" and the wallet was one of the things I had to stuff in there.



The other thing I couldn't leave behind was this adorable swan. (It's facial expression is just too cute, I have no clue where I will put it just yet but I will find a place!)Garage sales on the weekend turned out pretty good. I 3 little garden gnomes to add to my little cement mushroom patch in my backyard a big wood owl cutting board for FREE! *hahah* I also got two plant stands from the garage sales on the weekend, I will show you those in my next post.
