You know that feeling you get when something just calls your name? Over the years, I've gotten that feeling with transferware, and silver gravy boats, and milk glass. Lately, it's been copper. I've begun to pick up a few pieces at rummage sales and at HomeGoods. I just love how it warms up my kitchen.
I seem to be drawn to the color black as well. In tole trays and anything made of wire. I just found these cute little wire candle sticks in the thrift store for $1.50 each.
Currently the wall above our Ikea butcher block cabinet is reserved for my black tole trays and copper, and a few of my favorite prints. I'd love to get a pot rack for the copper -- wouldn't it be wonderful to have a whole collection? ;)
