This little guy just had to be mine!! He was an ebay find and a priceless one at least to me. I have always been fascinated with wheels, gears, fun things in old metal, old metal toy parts , small old things that move , etc.. I call it the Orwell "Time Machine" look or "20k Leagues Under the Sea" look and then mix that with some vintage tarnished / decayed New Orleans glitz and I am in love!!!..." But the name now for all of this is "Steam Punk" and I thank Jane Wynn for explaining that to me. I love that name too. And my new /old little guy is so Steam Punk .Look to future blogs to see the items he just may dig up....

Thank you for visiting my blog! Yes, those buttons are really something. They are from vintage dirndls, a traditional Bavarian dress.
