hey everyone! here we are @ the end of the week! i have been busy preparing for yet another weekend @ the shady hollow! rounding up some fun wares to keep it fresh & fun! and hopefully reeling you in if you are in my neighborhood!
monkey see monkey do was a segment i created for my blog to showcase items i have come across and do my spin off the original.
the creation i am about to show ya was plucked from the pages of COUNTRY HOME magazine. *sigh*. do i miss that periodical. that and the quirky reinventions of the original junkmasters..ki nassauer + sue whitney. it's hard to believe...this work of whimsy was highlighted in the june 2003 issue. really...2003? a world prior to smart phones & many other marvels that have come about in the last 8 years. but something remains as inspiring as ever to me. this lovely {below} happens to be one of them.
ok...i'll admit...i am a bit of a "salvage snob". finding it hard to part with the pieces of time that are becoming increasing harder and harder to scrape up. but i managed to pull a few elements out of my dwindling stash...a mix-up of {3} different corbels and a fantastic green table leg became the foundation for my salvage chandi {below}.
rather than use ball jars as the candle holders...i opted for small insulators that i wrapped with wire and jute for mine {below}. they look equally as grand w/ a few floral sprigs + ivy vines as they do with the current resident tealights.
for the photo op i hung mine from a weathered pulley. it doesn't show in the shot above so i thought i would toss out a snapshot of the lonely pulley {below}. it adds an extra pop of texture with the wood and metal accents.
sounds like i am becoming pretty attached to something that should be for sale. guess time + a visit to the flea will reveal if and when i am ready to part with her!
well...that will sum up this monkey's do for the day. as always i thank you for stoppin' by. and look forward to more show & tell on some of the other projects in the works. never seems to be a lack of something to ramble on about. just more a matter of time these days! time...hmmm...makes me think of clocks...there i go again! back to the drawing board!
have a most wonderful day!
