Found last year at an estate sale. Had to explain to another shopper (male) why I needed it more than he thought he did. It was in my hands already before he even spotted it. Might have paid too much, but I loved it. I wanted it. So I bought it. First day of sale, obviously no discounts that day ;-).
I love that it's rusted and crusty and old.
That just makes it more wonderful. Kind of like aging.
Nobody
grows old merely by living a number of years. We grow old by deserting
our ideals. Years may wrinkle the skin, but to give up enthusiasm
wrinkles the soul. ~Samuel Ullman
Father
Time is not always a hard parent, and, though he tarries for none of
his children, often lays his hand lightly upon those who have used him
well; making them old men and women inexorably enough, but leaving their
hearts and spirits young and in full vigour. With such people the grey
head is but the impression of the old fellow's hand in giving them his
blessing, and every wrinkle but a notch in the quiet calendar of a
well-spent life. ~Charles Dickens
Nope, not having a birthday (not yet anyway).
Just thinking that the old things bring much pleasure.
This old garden cart.
An old cookbook I'm fixin' to give to the most precious young lady.
Being married over 36 years.
My children's baby cups.
A comfortable pair of shoes are always old!
Everyone is the age of their heart. ~Guatemalan Proverb
Plantings: Sweet potato vine, Lantana, Portulaca, and something that hangs down.
