Plans for This Little Stove

Valentine's Day is quickly approaching, and I've created a bunch of new items to add to my merchandise. That has left me searching for a fun way to display them. Originally I thought that I would find a pie safe with heart designs in the punched tin door panels. However my local miniatures store didn't carry anything of the sort. Instead, I found this stove.

It's a bit clunky. I admit that I didn't fall in love with it upon first sight. In fact, it took me a long time to settle on it because I don't know if I can transform it into the charming, vintage stove that I have in my mind. First off, I think that it needs some feet, a paint job that is chipping away, and of course a bit of rust!

I think that I have a challenge ahead of me! Fingers crossed, I hope to show you the results in a couple of days.

And...here is a sneak peak of some of my new items that will go on the stove display.

    I have this exact stove and still don't like it so it will be interesting to see what you do with it. Hopefully you will inspire me to keep it.
