Still having fun with rust!

Oh! How I wish I could come across a market like that in real life!










Hope you've all had a fun weekend!

    You played a lot, didn't you? I'm always surprised at how you can make multiples of things. I get bored after the second one and I have to change. To be truthfull the first one is enough! That's why my works are OOAK ;o)Hugs Rosanna
    PS did you go to the shop with F.?

    Lovely collection Mercedes.
    The little signs are just great, I could have done with one of those on the weekend when I decided after switching over the master bedroom and the guestroom furniture that I didn't like it after all and wanted to switch back. No problem in mini but doesn't go down too well with the 'removal assistant' in real life! ;)

    They are all lovely, you worked a lot. I love the "keep calm and carry on", I think having one in real size in my home would sometimes help...

    You are the queen of rust my dear! These are all lovely and I look forward to seeing them for sale soon, please! Funny, I'm 'watching' the Keep Calm sign in Ebay, in duck-egg blue and pink, and can't decide which one to get. Also, they have a Keep Calm and Eat a Cupcake sign...oh decisions!
