With your knack for telling a story you could devise past lives for your artefacts... <br />I think that often the bit between obsolescence and recognition as an antique/vintage/retro curiosity, shows as much inventiveness as the original idea did - could a butter churn have been used for mixing paint for instance?Lady Mondegreen's Secret Gardenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07638813551209321151noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4941930385963521365.post-76489494861841987202011-05-20T11:50:35.856+01:002011-05-20T11:50:35.856+01:00Love your treasures and stories they do tell.

Have I babbled about this, before? I love history stuff, and this is one of the best things I've *ever* experienced. What heroes those poor workers, young and old, were. A fascinating thread in history's cloth, if you'll forgive the unresistable, but dull and expected metaphor.
