Old metal molds...tin, pewter and zinc... have such an appealing patina.
...some silvery, some dull and tarnished...
...some rusty.
I love them all!
These were found at a thrift store this week...
This old glass container was used to store cheese at one time.
I have it on the counter filled with old glass eggs.
Black and white quail eggs sit in old glass jars ...
... I love how they look with my old tins and molds.
I hope you are having a relaxing and calm weekend.
The weather has been incredibly beautiful...
blue skies, cool evenings...
...the last few days of August at the lake.
All is well.
:)

The colors in this post seem to reflect your mood...serene.
I love the old molds especially the aspic ones and if they are a little rusty...all the better! Now what exactly would have been made in the fish shaped ones?

Awwww! thank you Laura,
you are a lady to love, and most of all your postings are filled with treasures that would fit right at home in my sanctuary place :)
I too love your Sanctuary place, peaceful, soulful and inviting to all of us who visit.

you have an impecable eye and a real gift for finding the good stuff...
Love your vignette - lovely!
It's beautiful here too, Laura. Just warm enough all day and chilly tonight - good sleeping weather.
All of your tin pieces are wonderful. My eye is always drawn to these homely, ordinary items too, especially kitchen ware.

Now, those are absolutely awesome tin treasures. I don't have a favorite, I love them all! How wonderful it must be to have a cool evening, we are not close to having that in Texas.
Enjoy your precious time at the lake.

I like the covered molds and managed to find one in not the best shape last summer but I still like it anyway. They are something I never see. Enjoy all your fun finds.
Love these and even more in your creative vignettes!
Laura...you always manage to make ordinary look extraordinary, utility look artful! What an eye you have. I so enjoy your blog and your great photography. Thanks! :-)

I love it ... oh the thrift store is the best!
You make the simpliest things look extraordinary. I always feel inspired when I see your photos. Your cheese crock reminded me that we once had one of these, but have no idea what happened to it. Love the tin molds. The fish are my favorite! ~ Sarah

Bonne semaine Laura.

What a great collection! I'd never had thought of collecting old tin, but it looks great, really elegant.
So many treasures you have! Like the old glass container with eggs in it. And off course the other things to.
Wish you a nice sunday!

I love this whole look~ so graphic and beautiful...
How can it be that one mans rubbish is another mans treasure; zinc and tin so appealing and big business at the moment. Great honest and poetic images...

Ohh, the fishes mold! Is it for candy? And is the thing with the red handle a bottle opener? How about the loaf mold? Would you say for bread? For pound cake? Very, very nice all...

Very calming, Laura.
Thanks for the lovely pictures.
Suz
it all looks so wonderful, makes me somewhat
sad, that I parted with so much of mine.
I do get carried away with my downsizing.
But I certainly can enjoy all your wonderful finds.
That shelf looks very familiar. Is it the one you puchased when we were all together at your house?
I love that shelf!!! The tins really look special on it.
Enjoy your family weekend,
your Mom is in our prayers,
hugs, Evi
Enjoy the last days at the lakehouse.
The weather sure has changed for the better!
