Focus

Last week we, for the first time, visited Junk Bonanza.  It was amazing!  Hundreds of vendors selling beautiful antiques.  Oh, a photographers dream!

So many wonderful props to be found - tarnished silver, peeling painted signs, rusty gears - antique cameras, vintage typewriters, aged cupboards - medicine bottles, worn linens, wooden spools - so much!

I have to admit that I had a hard time focusing.  As I combed through bins of small items I'd forget to look around at the larger pieces.   If I focused on a gorgeous antique wooden table I would completely overlook trays with handles worn smooth from use.  Remembering to look up I would spot intricately wired birdcages; looking down I'd find drawers filled with wooden printer's letters.

Oh, my!

This wonderful old Kodak camera and the old medicine bottle were finds from this trip.

I used one layer of Kim Klassen's "Achieve" and two layers of her "Waterfront18"

Enjoy your day!

Antique Spoons

I'm joining Texture Tuesday and BeStill52 with photos of some of my antique serving spoons.

I love the golden patina in the bowl of the ladle below and the worn edges of this serving spoon.  I also love the softness, and frayed edges, of the creamy white cheesecloth.

I used two of Kim Klassen's textures on the photo above - "Just a Touch" and "Pinit 8".

I hope that you have a great day!
