Distress



The almost-antique fire extinguisher that I loved mysteriously disappeared from the porch. It's such a shame. It was rusty in parts and its top had the loveliest oxidised patina of blue, uniquely distressed and organic.

The brass bell is reminder of a historical tragedy, with "Titanic" engraved on it. A fleamarket find.
