What a great post! I love to use pieces with history – even if I don’t know that history. And those unusual pieces get lots of comments and conversation.
That blue blanket chest is amazing!
Ha…I usually get obsessed with finding the history of the stuff I find…like that wheel! Love it! Love the blanket box too…it was a gift from me to my husband! We are kind of a old wood box fools! Love your stuff too! Thanks for visiting!
