The copper tub

The copper tub

I switched the lens as promised, but I failed you again in the lighting department, sorry.   It didn’t help that Levi was sanding the closet shelves right behind me and the air was thick with sawdust.  This photo does not do this wonderful tub justice.  Did I mention that the copper slipper tub is my favorite part of the whole house?   […]

My Vintage Blankie
