Farm Chick purchases

I've been waiting, looking hunting and looking some more for a kitchen scale....and there it was, just the colors I was looking for....look great in the kitchen.
I found this very old and rusty baking powder tin ......

And added some art work via http://www.thegraphicsfairy.com/, what do you think? Thanks, Bev, for the link and tutorial! I am having fun now.


Last but not least THE enamelware from Czechoslovakia. It came in tons of wonderful colors and I got the sage and red with white. Love it, goes in my vintage trailer. I believe this was made in the early 40's and was ransomed from an East Indian warehouse. If you are interested check out the site http://www.bigshipsalvage.com/, really nice guy. Serena (Farm Chick, extraordinaire) ran into this couple awhile back, loved their stuff and invited them to the show.
