What's this blog all about?

I'm going to join the fun over at Modern Country Style today and link up to the Define your Blog party! I thought it might be fun to do since I have been blessed with so many new followers during giveaway month.
Plain and simple...I created this blog to meet like minded crafty and artistic women who love to hunt for anything vintage. It is all about sharing and inspiring for me. Why the name? Well, "rusty" because I love to collect junk.

Sometimes I decorate with my junk finds and add a little bit of "vintage" flair to our modern home. I love my friends in blog land who have decorating or home decor blogs. Such inspiration for how to use my finds! Like these little treasures...

Sometimes I use my rusty and vintage finds for mixed media art projects too. I draw so much inspiration from my friends and visitors in blogland.  I try to share techniques and tutorials as well as finished projects as often as time will allow.

Some are a bit quirky, some are cherished keepsakes...all made with my favorite treasures, collectibles and ephemera.  So, that leaves us with the "rooster."  Well, our home town has really grown over the past 5-10 years but one thing has not changed...the chickens.  Oviedo is definitely the suburbs. As I say in my profile you truly can get a Barney's coffee on one corner but have to wait for the chickens to cross on the next though.  You see years ago in our quaint downtown area a carton of chicks got loose at the local feed store.  Generations of those chickens have roamed the streets downtown for years. Even as the town grew, the chickens remained. The best part?? They make their home outside of Popeye's Chicken.

LOL! Isn't that great. A chicken crossing sign outside of the Popeye's chicken.  I took a few pics back in November while I was in the drive thru. So, that is what this blog is about....collecting rusty and vintage things for the excitement of the hunt and to use in my artwork or decorating. I love to follow you while you do the same thing! It is about sharing projects and inspiring each other, and it is about my town and my family.  I'm enjoying every minute of it. I'm also enjoying sharing it with you! Thanks for visiting and for following along. I love your comments too.  Thanks for joining me in my month of giveaways! Saturdays winner will be announced on Sunday due to a prior engagement. Look for my favorite giveaway of the month on Sunday! Stay tuned.  xoxo
