According to Drew Pritchard of Salvage Hunters the patina
as in encrustation and dusting on anything is beautiful: on
statuettes and copper pots, now I find that my clothes also
enjoy advantage of dusting as all white fabrics are stained
A rich copper brown by the dust invading my house and as
I use my trusty bar of Sunlight soap I remember Drew said
never remove the patina, it will get dirty again and it gives
character and history to all the beautiful things he likes to
Buy on his travels to find the most original things, but alas,
my clothes are not pretty at all and scrubbing is the only
remedy to salvage some of these pieces without looking
like an escaped prisoner from the Gulag or Lubyanka; but
I’m afraid it’s too late to save me from my fashion faux pas,
doesn’t matter what I wear, I still resemble Babka the little
old lady from the fairy tale who had the wisdom to use her
three wishes wisely - what I would do with three wishes is
Anybody’s guess, yet I suspect it would all end up in a very
big mess, I’m thankful I’m not offered a chance to bring this
over myself as better clothes will not change me into a lady…
