Yes, I'm almost done writing the second
Salvage Secrets book (off to the publishers this week) but a girl needs a break from sitting at the computer all the time -- sooooo.... of course, I decided to make a DIY project. I stopped by one of my favorite antique shops,
Champlain Valley Antiques, and asked Tom, the owner, if he had an extra piece of old wood (Tom, also makes lots of farmhouse tables and other tables and has a collection of wood in the workshop). We checked out the workshop and he found an old beat up table top that was a mess. I was like "Hey...how about this?" So I bought the old table top and brought it home and attached a bunch of salvaged metal plumber handles I picked up at the scrap metal yard (yes, I go there too). I placed the handles in a heart shape and then attached them to the board with screws. Then wrapped the outer edge with some salvaged wire I got at the scrap yard too! Voila -- instant wall art that is now in my stairwell. Well...I guess it is back to writing. Happy Valentines day to you all. Thank you for your support and help with all my fun, exciting and crazy endeavours :) I'll be writing much more once the book is off...
My best, Joanne
