Ironing...Love the old iron and how you painted it. Ironing could almost be fun with a decorated one like that to take to the pile of wrinkled shirts that this family makes. I so often wondered that too, how the women had the strength back then to accomplish all the chores they had and with such heavy objects! Thank goodness for modern day conveniences! Another lovely old item made into a fantastic piece of artwork under your capable hands!!

I added a picture in my post so you can get an idea of what is there?<br /><br />Re: rust on "old stuff". I use my Mouse sander as well as regular sandpaper and elbow-grease to remove most of it. Paint with a primer such as Krylon. I like the bumpy surface, so I don't care if the piece has imperfections. <br /><br />;o) MarthaApple Tree Cottagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09243962473928313441noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1336724856806168141.post-77432289307732458752009-06-03T06:46:57.195-05:002009-06-03T06:46:57.195-05:00I'm tellin you again...you are one very talent...I'm tellin you again...you are one very talented, blessed girl!
