I cut the pickets from cedar fence boards in various shapes and we painted or stained them to our liking. After positioning them on the pickets, holes were drilled for wire which was threaded through from back to front and twisted around the spouts and handles. I was lucky enough to have a lid with a hole in it and embellished the picket with a flower shaped piece from a lamp I took apart. A chandelier crystal hangs from the spout and I am hoping that a robin will find it a fit home for feeding her babies crumpets and tea. At any rate we had a ball picking out "stuff" and again--recycle, re purpose, reuse!
Speaking of crumpets and tea..We picked our first raspberry crop tonight. After the weigh-in, we only had half pound but they were yummy over vanilla ice cream!
The kitchen remodel is on hold while we have some "us time", but we are nearly ready to spray texture and then pick out counter top and sink and paint. When you do these things yourself you must have patience!
