Another Old Tool Re-purposed...keeper??



Is this the cutest old tool you've ever seen?


I'm in love with that bright blue handle and rusty bottom.


Add a sweet little embellishment...


...and a button magnet with this fun picture of my mom as a little girl.  Don't you love that the awning above says "Peek"?  (She is standing in front of my grandfather's first Chiropractic office.)


I'm thinking this one is mine for "keeps".
 

Have a great weekend!

    I must be old enough to be your mom cause looks a lot like a photo from my childhood with a brownie camera! Love your creation!

    Definitely a keeper! I love the color! The photo is awesome too - honestly, I didn't even know chiropractors were a profession in the '50s - I thought they were a relatively new profession int he last 25-30 yrs or so.

    Turquoise and rusty are two of my favorite things. They look great put together. Love the little flower thing you made at the handle.

    A great find -- usually they don't seem to have great colors on them -- this one is adorable!

    It's definitely a keeper! Love the rust and blue combo with the cute button. Of course the picture of your mom makes it extra special.
