hello hello! hope you all are having a great week! not too much longer and i will be back in the swing of shady hollow season! and with that brings the arrival some fun new wares to showcase @ my grand reopening the weekend of memorial day! to wet your whistle til then i will share a couple recent favorites that made their way into the line-up!
when i saw this necklace {below} i was instantly drawn to it's heavy-duty, industrial flavor. the wavy corrugated backdrop sets off the big bling. and check out that chain. it's deceivingly lightweight for it's larger than life look!
i love me some corrugated metal. when i see a shed cloaked in it...my instinct is to grab a crowbar & start yanking. since this building {below} belongs to my friend, woody, i best steer clear as i would be the 1st one he'd suspect should the roof disappear! unless a chance tornado moved thru the area.
this wavy material adds instant texture to ordinary objects. and makes a fine wall dressing too! as shown here as the backdrop to a clock.*please note* no metal was "lifted" for the making of this post.
it also makes for a great mix of materials to become a tote {below}. have to thank my friends @ bergen's greenhouse for the use of their succulents to liven this little cutie up!
also spied while on location @ bergens was fields of greens! the thought of spring and flea season don't seem too distant when viewing the tables of vinca vines and other seedlings growing away {below}!
my love of corrugated isn't just limited to the use of it in metal. if i get a package with corrugated cardboard cushioning...i roll it up up and save for paper crafting as in the little wrap-up i did awhile back!
and with that..i will sign off today with a big "wave" good-bye. as always i sure appreciate you taking the time to pop over to my corner of the world.
wishing you a wonderful weekend...
Your 'corrugated' things are wonderful! I remember seeing a corrugated wall used as a backsplash in a kitchen and it was instant love for me. Just the perfect amount of industrial bling!

Now I want to head out to my brother's ranch to snag some I found behind the old ostrich house.
So cute! I love that basket.

I too love the corrugated tin, I wanted it for a
wall in my kitchen, but *sigh* I could not find
enough. I was very disappointed. Your
pictures are inspiring. I too wish I lived
closer to be able to visit your events. Have a
great weekend

I love the corrugated cardboard wrap-up...who would have thought cardboard could look so pretty!
I found your website on Pinterest...would you mind if I pinned some of your photos to one of my boards?
