I painted mine ... all black ... then I aged some of Lord Tim of Holtz's new Crowded Attic papers with Vintage Photo Distress ink and the Paper Artsy mini cogs stamp! You know Tim ... the man that can get this country out of the economic shambles it is in ... in his lunch hour ... while painting a replica of the Mona Lisa with just a pen nib and a jump ring.
I digress ... once attached to the stand ... I aged some of the black paint with Inka Gold in Aged Silver. 
I had a ball filling Lord Tim's Cork Vials with watch parts; Pen nibs and screws ... the screws were a tad too new looking ... so I added a drop of Coffee Archival Re-inker and a spritz of water to age them too. The bottle labels are from the Crowded Attic Salvage Sticker collection ... I distressed those and the corks with some more Vintage Photo.
Righty-ho then ... back to my to do list ... it has a stack of things to do ... including a few class kits for tomorrow ... Yikes ... a slight miscalculation on my part ... but I do promise me 10 students that by tomorrow ... I will have that one sorted :0)
Laters!

Oooh, Linda, I've been a tad busy lately and not had time to comment much (I do visit every post though) but had to say can't wait to see you on the fab LBCrafts stand at AP.
Love your cake stand with all the bits and pieces. The pennyfarthing is fantastic and I hope there is just one left for me by the time I make it to the stand. I think you'd best be my first port of call!
