I am inexplicably drawn to rusty old bits, and things with patina. I think it might in part be the color. Three nights ago I found myself complimenting a neighbor on his gorgeous orange-silk tie, saying "rust is the new black." (Honestly, I have no idea where I came up with that.)
More from Baltimore tomorrow...and an update on the herb garden.

Such a fun day with you all!
Push patina. I am so totally tired of everyone fixing everything up. I miss the worn finishes of my childhood.
Channeling your inner Diane Vreeland and making pronouncements, huh?
And I die for those Gothic shutters. I had a set once, along with the windows. Sold the windows to the set designer for 'Man Without a Face", watched the whole movie in vain for them. Go figure.
Love the outing troubee also.
Cheers
That's some seriously yummie rust there. Like the Dilettante, I love your 'Rust is the new black' - much more appropriate than 'Heritage is the new sex', which a National Trust communications person came up with a few years ago!
I am constantly frustrated by those who polish up the patina.
DED ~ I do believe Maine still has a good corner on the rust market...! But, I know what you say. Incidentally, I believe the shutters are still available...
Emile ~ the NT is welcome to run with my new slogan. I haven't trademarked it (yet).
Shutters may be up in Brimfield this week, along with a lot of the other things they have. you can't believe how empty the bldg is!
We are all going to appropriate your new "rust" mantra. What a great phrase, DV works anytime, any place!
