If it were mine I would have it sandblasted to remove all rust and old paint. Then either get it repainted in colors you like or let him rust naturally.

Still looking for my "hand" door knocker after seeing yours!

Drat! Just missed it. It went for $35 bucks too.

I'll keep an eye open for one in the future. Do you want the apple in the hand or is a ball OK?

Double drat!

I had a bad virus for the past couple of weeks and haven't checked ebay, etc that often.  Feeling better and going strong-er than before!

I really like the apple....but would also be happy with the ball if in good shape!

Thanks talesof!

By-the-way.....how is your progress?  Keep us informed and hijack on this all you want!!!!  I forgot your blog site!

An Ebay search for hand knocker turns up a pretty good variety. That one needed to be stripped like mine did, but was identical to mine. A good deal for $35!

I'm doing pretty good, about as good as any girl with a head that looks like a slightly fuzzy tennis ball can be!!  :P I think I'm at about the half-way point through the chemo now (have to confirm this with the doctor) and the chemo should be the hardest part I have to go through.
