Good Morning! It’s FRIDAY! I hope your Friday is a happy one! This week in my hometown we have an event called Antique Alley. It goes up and down a road in our city for MILES! On Wednesday, I took my nieces to school and there were a few people already set up. It normally doesn’t start until Thursday, but these guys had a jump on things!
I found the dinner bell above. It is HEAVY! Cast iron! The bell is amazingly clear and LOUD! The only thing… well someone had painted it and it was ugly.
See?
Yeah, I thought so too.
Well, it was only $5 so I brought it home with me, knowing I could do something about the paint and make it look as it should.
I took some black paint and painted over the rooster. It worked very well and the paint just seeped into the cast iron so it didn’t look like I just painted it. It looked old, like it should!
The bell now resides on our back deck.
I look forward to ringing it for supper time. It is so loud that you may hear it from your house. I usually cook a little extra… just in case you are inclined to stop by.
Have a great day friends!
