Tole Metals


A wall candelabra I bought to resell.
It is wicked to photograph not on a wall.




Joe wants to keep this mirror.
 I am inclined to sell it.
It resides in the bathroom floor and leans on the wall.
 Shelley Puppy loves to bark at himself in it. It is heavy.
 I probably should not have lifted it...oops.




My favorite tole piece.
This little floral has good fall color and has joined the parade of fall items on the bar.

In Olive Out news I am doing quite well three days post op. 
I will be resting here at the yellow house this week.
 Might be a swell time for thrift store visits.
 I can drive starting today.

Linking at Wow Us Wednesday's

joy and peace
Olive

    2. I think the wall candelabra may be from the 1960's. The mirror is not terribly vintage. The last one is from the a later period maybe the 1940's. I got that last piece from an out building at an estate sale. That is where I usually find good pieces. I really am no expert but am drawn to these metal flowers.

  9. So glad you are feeling well, Olive. No lifting! I had no idea that the term for that was Tole. Lovely all of the pieces, but I have to agree with you on your favorite. It is the most unique in my opinion. Thrifting, not lifting! Ann
