Galvanized....

Donna, over @ Funky Junk Interiors....is hosting a party on galvanized containers.....I have always loved the primitive look....my husband and I have collected junk for years....we called them " antiques"  ....
oops....wrong photo....but this one is very nice....a view of Lakeland from the overpass of the new "bypass" through the city of lakes....This lake is Lake Mirror....and the very one that influenced my in-laws to settle in this city, instead of Clearwater....they said it was such a beautiful town with all the lakes. I agree.


This post is about GALVANIZED.....metal.....according to Webster....galvanized means to plate (metal) with zinc, originally by galvanic action-
whatever that is.....
This guy was picked up at the Mayfaire Art Fair Mother's Day Weekend....
He gets lost in the crowd.....

Oil cans and an old lantern fill the table.....
Yes...that's my husband on a horse....

I need to paint him with clear spray....of some sort....to stop the rusting process....at least that is what the artist said to do......

I think it's a bit crowded here....


aahh.....that's much better .....found an old washboard on the hearth.....
I'll put the oil cans elsewhere...


Washboards are fun to collect....this one was purchased from an artist that painted the top..... It hangs in my kitchen.....I don't know why, exactly....it should be in the laundry room....

TALK TO ME PEEPS....LEAVE ME A COMMENT.....PLEASE.....

Linking up with some awesome parties to share the galvanized love.....

    I have an old washboard hanging in my daughters room. I love them too.

    Thanks for stopping by my blog and commenting on the cheesecake strawberries. I hope you enjoy them as much as we did!
