I like keys. They can be elegant and tall or short and stocky. Some keys are decorated like fine china and others are purely utilitarian. Keys lock away secrets or open the door to new possibilities. I grew up in a small town and we rarely used keys. We only locked the house if we were going on vacation, and then we had to search for the key.
Interestingly, lately I have seen vintage keys popping up at home decor stores.
I must not be the only one who loves keys!

I LOVE skeleton keys! I've only managed to collect 2 so far, I never find them anywhere. I got one of mine at a flea market & one at an antique store in Virginia. I have mine hanging from a length of ribbon from my lamp.

I love skeleton keys, too ♥ I found five or six at a yard sale two years ago, and once we're moved into the new place I'm going to make some kind of art out of them - maybe a wind chime? I like yours ☺
This is such a cute entry way decoration! Or anywhere really. I like to use keys as pendants for necklaces. It's sooo in right now. At least that's what i tell myself :)

I'm a key lover also. I'm enthralled with the possible story behind each one. I also collect & wrote a post about it. (It's on the sidebar of my blog if you want to see it or you can search "keys please").
Warmly, Michelle
