What Makes a "Keeper"??? ~ Natural Time~Worn P*A*T*I*N*A

Helloooooo Friends!*!*!  
The GorRgeOus Weather this past weekend was "Just Perfect" for working outside On-My-SHaBBies
 in preparation for my Next two S*A*L*E*S...
 If I have to say so myself, ~ 
I have such a FaB Stash of FALL-INSPIRED SHaBBies,that I'm having the hardest time parting with a good number of them!*!*!
The Following Pics are "ALL EYE CANDY" ~ Sorry...
 ~ Not For Sale at this time...  

 
Just AwEsoMe P*A*T*I*N*A
on this Basket's Thick Old-White-Paint...
I just had to "rescue this SHaBBy from the S*A*L*E STASH"
For Now...



 OMG!!!
That's what I said when I spotted this
Time~Worn ORANGE/GREY CHAIR...
BeSt-Ever P*A*T*I*N*A
Yet Another *KEEPER*  pulled from the FALL STASH...
(be sure to enlarge - THIS ONE)



 Just FaB Natural "Time~Worn" Paint Crazing...
~* That ONLY time can produce *~







 And then there were these 
CRUSTY... RUSTY... TOLE 
SWAY~OF~LEAVES!*!*! and the PeRFeCtLy ChiPPy Fluted Column on which it is hung..
SoRRy!!! - MORE SHABBY *KEEPERS* FROM THE STASH...
FOR NOW...



Signs are pointing to an
 "Early Fall" - This Year...
Here in Wisconsin, The Leaves are Turning Already...



 I LoVe Lanterns Summer, Fall, Winter
I just had to pull this one little black one from the STASH!*!*!
Sooooo PeRfeCTLy ChiPPy!*!*!







Here's what developed in the 
**Early Fall Entry Vignette**
All the pieces just worked sooooo well together...
~ The GOOD NEWS ~
 Since I can't keep everything... ~ I've pulled a good number of long time kept FaLL SHaBBies from my personal Stash - NOW Making Them Available TO YOU
 ~ At My Home S*A*L*E

ChiPPy!-SHaBBy! Time~Worn P*A*T*I*N*A*S...

When it comes to ViNtaGe Finds,  "My First LoVe"
is a Natural Time-Worn PATINA...    


I love the Rusty Patina on the
 Old Architectural Tin Panel...
*****
 The Metal Box's Old White Paint has acquired a FaBuLouS Time-Worn Paint Loss Patina...



The Wicker/Splint Basket has a
 "PerFecTly ChiPPy Paint Loss Patina,
 with many colorful layers poking through...
"Sooooo much more interesting than Brand New"...
(enlarge this one...)



You may find another metal box...
You may find another basket...
But what I LoVe BeSt ~ Is that each one is a "UNIQUE, ONE-OF-A-KIND" ~ ViNtaGe Find...  No two are exactly alike...



 All the different elements work so well together...

It's beginning to look a bit like FaLL ~ with ChiPPy!-SHaBBy! Adornments...

In these past few days, the air is "Just a little bit different" and some of the leaves in our backyard garden are beginning to turn...   Time to bring a hint of "NATURE'S WONDERS" - InSide!*!*!



Are these leaves gorgeous or what!*!*!




I adorned one of my favorite chippy white picnic baskets with the colorful branch... 




I LoVe the natural time-worn patina
 on this very special piece...
(click to enlarge...)




Hints of "Old Apple-Green Paint" poking through...




I recently acquired this piece of "ViNtaGe BarkCloth", in a less commonly seen "Leaf Pattern" - Just perfect for this time of year...




With September just around the corner, I'm spending most of my days IN & AROUND THE GARAGE... SCRUBBING, REPAIRING, & TAGGING ShaBBies...
  Can't wait for my Fall Show Line-Up to Begin!!!

**August ChiPPy!-SHaBBy! ViNtaGe Seaside Lobster Vignette**

Each month I arrange a special vignette in our entry to compliment the season....  August to me says ~ Seaside, Sand, Lanterns, & Lobsters!!!  Here's what developed this year...    

SuMMeR "Seaside" Vignette...
I bought the lantern some years back...   It was well "covered with mud/dirt"...  After a good scrubbing, it revealed one of "The BeSt" ChiPPy Paint Loss Patinas!!!  - What a FaB FiNd...
(click on pic to enlarge details...)



These 100 Year-Old-PlusVintage Bottles have taken on a Translucent "Rainbow-Like" PaTiNa...
The one on the left is an 1880's Medicine Bottle...  The other an 1870's Whiskey Flask...
While most collectors favor a more "Mint Condition Bottle" - I just LoVe the PaTiNa that has naturally occurred on these...  Years of exposure to nature's minerals & water deposits produce such a PaTiNa - Just PeRfeCt for a "Seaside" theme...

  


Old Fishing Nets...
Metal Industrial Basket...
Time-Worn Fishing Buoy...




 While on Washington Island, just off the Door County, Wisconsin Peninsula, we recently picked up this ViNtaGe Ships Running Light...    ~  Being fueled by oil, I would date this from around the late 1800's...  It's top brass tag identifies  a manufacturer in Chicago...



Not as commonly seen, - ViNtaGe 1950's LoBsTeR Tablecloth!*!*!




Does this Say S*U*M*M*E*R... or what!?!?!

**ChiPPy!-SHaBBy!** Tweet... Tweet... Birdies!!!

Here in Wisconsin, the view from my window looks like a "SNOW GLOBE"!!! Forecast - 4 inches...  I long for a glimpse of SpRiNg ~ which is WAY TOOOOOO MANY MONTHS AWAY...  In the meantime, I can reflect on things "that make me think of Spring" ~ B I R D I E S!*!*!

The SHaBBy ViNtaGe BIRD MIRROR is perched in an old chippy basket with barbola flowers....  Just FaB time-worn silver loss patina!!!
  Sorry - it's ALL a keeper ~ For Inspiration only...



This little glass birdie candle was a Find at Anthropologie some years back...  Perfect by the tub!*!*!



More Birdie Candles...
