I stopped at the Owls Nest in Franktown for a delcious Caramel-Cinn coffee on my way to the shop.  Such a great place!  I signed up to take a class on folding book pages next weekend.  Hope you'll see some in my booth very soon. FUN!

When RUSTIC

meets MORE rustic

you get some

unexpected treasures…

love the perfectly rusted
ice skate blades

who doesn't love an oil can with seasonal berries?!

I just knew I needed to keep these shot gun shells for something fun…filled them with dowels and attached to a piece of pallet wood for a unique hanging rack

Fun little wreaths with antique wheel casters
make me merry
TONS of storage options for this old
wooden box topped with a shabby shutter
