Collection of favorites

Our brief period of 40 degree weather has faded and we are back to winter with below zero temperatures.  This is the time of year when the contrast between the far north and the rest of the country really starts to bite!  I know that there are signs of spring and green growing things in other parts of the country.  I am starting to get antsy for yard work and outdoor projects!
Instead, I sit with my computer reading, editing pictures, and searching for inspiration.
Below are some photos of a collection of some of my favorite old things.  This metal box is one of my all time favorite finds.  I have no clue what it originally held.  I love the aging, scratches, and size on this box.  It holds some nebulizer bottles that are perfect for small bouquets or single blossoms.  There are also some old letters and invoices bought at an junk/antique store.  The tags are ones I made and some I aged with coffee.

I love the things that are possible with digital photos and editing.
