| Hello friends!! I was super excited about this "wreath" I made today! I spotted this old farm piece in a antique shop this summer. Loved the patina and knew it could be something cool. Today I finally got inspired and made it into a wreath. Couldn't have been an easier project: Step 1: Buy super cool rusty piece even though it will sit in the garage for 6 months Step 2: Head out to garage while you are already late getting to your shop to gather items you need for customers that day. Spy rusty piece sitting there. Step 3: Finally get in the car to leave for shop when INSPIRATION STRIKES! Step 4: Get back out of the car and grab rusty piece! Step 5: LEAVE FOR THE SHOP!! Step 6: Get to the shop, unload rusty piece, push everything on the counter that WAS your priority for the day to the side so you can have room to create! Step 7: Grab ribbon and greenery and put on rusty piece even though you haven't finished turning on all your lights, flipping your open sign, or unlocking doors. Step 8: Take photos and begin the social networking blitz! Step 9: See if you have any "likes!!!" (you gotta look right??!!) wink wink! Step 10: Finish opening your shop It's that easy!! Proof positive that not all Christmas wreaths need to be green pine... they can be "green" in other ways!!! |
I had this same inspiration last May when I saw some farm wheels at the Memorial Day Flea Market - don't you just love it!!

ReplyDeleteI love it! And to think my son throws stuff like that away and sells it for scrap. I still have a few buried treasures I will make a wreath with.
ReplyDeleteLovely wreath and always love your booth. I've been making them from old baby carriage wheels. See you in January.
ReplyDeleteThis isn't a piece of farm machinery. It was a vent that went around an old stove pipe on the second floor of a home. It opened and closed to let heat go upstairs. I have one from my Grandma's house.
