Carpenter built this shelf for me way back in our first home at Greene Acres. I insisted we take it down and drag it along for the move -- so now for the past 10 years it has been way up stored in the barn rafters.
Last week it was dragged back down, retrieved, cleaned up and put in the dining room of our new home.
It weathered and aged just to my liking while it sat and waited....waited...for a new home.
It didn't take me anytime to fill it up with things I love!
Dried cockscomb from a friend's garden, fresh wheat grass growing in my herb box, a porcelain berry colored basket from my mom's favorite things, a few pieces of my adored French Farmhouse rooster dishes, courtship candles with handmade beeswax candles sitting still, 2 pretty pink depression glass plates from my Ma-Ma's favorite things (now passed to me to add to my favorite things, and a wisteria vine wreath I made from vines my friend Sharon's backyard, (like 25 years ago!).
