I found a few vintage items to share. My general rule when purchasing items is that they should serve a purpose. However, there are rare occasions when charm trumps functionality. 
Vintage Metal Shovels 
I love to garden, but not with these!
Vintage Rug/Quilt Beaters 
Does anyone beat rugs or quilts these days? There's something endearing about such a task, but I must say I've never tried it. If anyone has a memory to share about beating rugs, blankets, quilts or more, I would LOVE to hear from you!
