I want to thank Tina over at Old Glory Soldiers for the inspiration on this one. I lov
e the look of vintage kitchen pieces, and although this one is new, it is made old again by using the rusting technique of spray black paint and cinnamon. I wanted to put something inside that would add to its uniqueness, so I mixed up some "fixens" of miniature clothes pins, rosehips, coffee beans and cinnamon stick pieces and put them in an old aluminum jello mold. The distressed hang tag has a copy of an old Farmer's Almanac.

The "rust" looks great!! And the fixens in the mold and that Farmers Almanac hang tag are perfect!

Love it Martha! Please tell me what that's called...so, I'll know what I'm looking for! I won't own up to a senior moment...will claim they were probably before my time. LOL
You created a beautiful display...and why am I not surprised!!?? Your work is always exceptional.
Blessings,

Love the rusty look! Your display is really nice!!
It turned out great! I'm loving the fly screens myself!
Martha, I did find my strawberry book! It was buried at the bottom of a book pile. It's a very thin book and was hidden! Now...on to that trowel this weekend with my paints! Thanks for all the inspiration.

Somehow i missed this post.
Your method of 'aging' is sure easier than mine.
Black paint, then cinnamon?
Do you mean real cinnamon? Or is that a paint color??
thanks
