Walnut 2009 ~ The Sights.2

Now that I carry a camera with me when I shop, I THINK I am spending less ~ but I haven't actually done the math, so I'll bet I am just doing some extra impressive rationalization! For those of you who like to window shop and for me as a photo album of stuff I like or find interesting, here are some more sights from Walnut 2009 ~ again, something for everyone!

{pretty transferware}

{embossed old tin}

{old tins everywhere!}

{handsome man}

{boys' hobby book}

{scary almost life size naked display figures}

{band of brothers}

{cast iron shoes ~ wondered what these were used for?}

{enough yardsticks for a lifetime ~ or two}

{wonderful painted wooden window frame}

{ice cream sign with Elsie the cow!}

{what better spokesman for nut products than a squirrel?}

{ancient box of alphabet blocks}

Then there are the cabinets and drawers ~ I guess it is a good thing I had no way to transport any of these since I have absolutely no room in my house or budget! Some day ~ I dream of rooms filled with organized and labeled drawers filled with all of my collections and miscellaneous stuff!

{lovely brass card holder detail}

{any of these would be great for a studio!}

{cigar box shelves}

The last, a one of a kind shelving unit with cigar box drawers ~ this was useable from both sides! So it could be used as shown or one could change out the boxes so that all of the cigar labels showed - or all of the hardware showed ~ just ingenious! I have some cigar boxes I am going to try something like this with ~ uh oh, another project!
