January Wreath Change-up

Linking up to Becky over at Beyond the Picket Fence!

What do you get when you mix a salvaged grain bin door, an iron pulley, silver tipped garland, wintery trees, an old metal tool box, a Mason jar resting on casters (purchased at JunkFest 2011!) and an old locker basket? Well, let's see now...

...a fireplace mantel and hearth all dressed up for the remainder of

WINTER.
Stay cozy!

One thing I can tell you about JunkFest...there's something for everyone! Each of us 4 JunkFest Girls have different tastes and with that comes a variety of repurposed creations and merchandise like you've never seen. In the last post, Andrea shared a bit of the funky rusty touch with you. Love it! And here, I want to share with you a bit of vintage primitive. I recently picked up this wonderful handmade tool trug from some friends that have a keen eye for vintage, antique, and the unique, and quite frankly...they have a great eye for superb JUNK.


The craftsmanship is like you seldom see on modern products. Reinforced with metal corners and bound by leather straps, you'll rarely see such a sweet find in original form. (take note, I haven't washed it yet!)


I love it just the way it is. You'll find this tool trug at JunkFest In Carrington, ND, September 11, 2010. You never know...it may look just like this...or it may be different.


What would you do with this trug? paint it? plant flowers in it? display it in your house?

tell me! tell me!
