I saw a key box in a charity shop.
It wasn't the box that attracted me it was the old keys that decorated the front.
Someone had sewn the keys onto some fabric. The fabric was stained and not a pretty sight, so I took the keys off.
While I decide how best to display them, I thought you might like to see them:
Obviously one is to a clock, but the others are quite delicate. I imagine they were used for cabinets or boxes as they would snap if used for anything as tough as a door lock.
On a completely different subject, Elsie had her first bath and haircut on Tuesday.
I couldn't believe underneath that mop was a Welsh Terrier.
It's probably just my imagination but she seems better behaved now all the fur has gone (apart from chewing Dad's slipper, of course).
Blessings,
Andi xx
Ooh, I'm interested to see how you will display those keys. Elsie, btw, is adorable.
ReplyDeleteOh Elsie,you are just sooooo cute! Love the old keys.Are you going to put them in a frame and diplay on the wall maybe? :0)
ReplyDeleteI love old keys. I think it's the history behind them. I have a small collection.

Love the keys! I have some on a ring that I set on top of the latch of a decorative box, they look good on it. Mine are not antiques, just copies that look like they are, but the effect is great!
ReplyDeleteYour pup Elsie is adorable! My dog always seemed to have a new spring in her step after being groomed! It's wise to get them used to being groomed early in life so they can handle it and not stress out about it!
Thanks for coming by my blog!

lovely keys, very ornate.
ReplyDeleteI don't think i'll ever part with the alfie books either. We have lots of them - mostly second hand. I remember reading them when i was a child. I think my favourite is the christmas one xx
I also love old keys. I associate all kind of mysteries and romance to their past. Elsie is absolutely gorgeous before and after the haircut! LOL Hugs and wishes for a lovely day
ReplyDeleteThese are very pretty keys! I don't think I've ever seen such delicate ones before.
ReplyDeleteYour little Elsie looks very cute.
Have a great day!
Hugs,
Julia

those keys are to die for. I had a little selection sitting around and eventually tied them to some small bunting hanging in the kitchen. It works!
