This week our prompt from Sally over at the
Studio Sublime was:
Our admiration of the antique is not admiration of the
old,
but of the natural.
~Ralph Waldo Emerson~
"There is always something so intriguing about old things. Whether an heirloom or flea market find we are always intrigued by the back story of the piece that has caught our eye and the thrill of a possible story of family history, lost love or travel to forgotten worlds. In the rust is character, scratches and dents are their badges of courage and the bare metal exposed by peeling paint is acceptance of time.

Aged pieces have a beauty
all their own, a beauty that draws us in to look a little deeper into a past
time.
This week focus on the aged
beauty that may be an old building or an aging vehicle in a parking lot, items
in a local barn, flea market, garage or in your jewelry box and snap a shot of a
vintage beauty! "
So, here's my take on "Aged Beauty"
This is the violin that my Uncle
gave to my Dad.
It's 100 years old.

I thought of having it restored but I don't think I want to do that.
To me, that would take away all the
'life-prints' of everyone who handled this.
These 'life prints' as I call them, are what makes this "Aged Beauty" so special to me.
Please hop on over to the Studio Sublime and see the different types of
Aged Beauties
everyone else has captured this week!
Until Next Time,
Peace, Love and Sentimental Aged Beauty!
Cheers,
