How to clean and preserve that aged chipped paint on wood?

I've come across some of that really "nice" wood that has been painted and is now chipped and wonderful!! But how do you clean it without knocking off the chipping, and then preserve it? Thanks!!

Lookin for an Innovative Way to Display Your Pictures?

So fun, so innovative...$3.00 project. Don't ya' just love it when you find some old vintage wares around your house that you can repurpose? I am all about thinkin outside the box with ...»
what I can do with a plain, simple item. I'm sure that thousands of other folks in Fishersville, VA saw this as a simple masher, but I saw it as something different, and for $3.00, I couldn't resist! Seriously, this project only cost us $3.00, as I had the clothes pin, the homespun and, of course, a gazillion pictures of Miss Cutie Pie (aka Bella).

So, with a potato masher that is 9" in height, and about 2.5" in in depth, as our kitchen window is narrow, coupled with a piece of homespun that I frayed the ends, wood glue and an old clothes pin, here's what makes washing dishes much more enjoyable these days.

An Unexpected Surprise

After we take our holiday tree down, we set it outside for all the critters that come to visit our yard. When we went to take it down a few days ago, we found a mama bird sitting on her nest. I got my first shot of her today---can't wait until there are some peeping babies!
