Vintage Find

A few weeks ago, we visited Franklin, Tennessee.  We enjoyed the trip.  There were lots of fun shops, spring flowers,  beautiful homes and interesting Civil War history filling this beautiful southern town.  I enjoyed everything we did while in Franklin.

I especially enjoyed visiting several antique stores while in

Franklin and I shared several pictures of the vintage

goodies that I saw while I was there in an earlier post. 

Remember me telling you that I purchased an item? 

 Well, here it is.

You might not be able to identify what I purchased from

 this one picture, so I'll show you a one more.

 

Yes, I purchased the vintage olive gathering basket.

  I had been looking at them on line (for some unknown reason)

 and I was thrilled to see one in person.  The price was much

 better than the ones that I had seen on line, as well.

It has a little bit of rust in all the right places and nice patina. 

 The handles are perfectly rusty.  The sides are very clean
 and surprisingly very smooth. 

Right now, its first home is in our family room.

I think this is one piece that will enjoy being moved around

and serving different uses as it settles into our home.

If you'd like to see the other temping goodies we saw

while on our trip, you can see the post here:
