I Made a Rustic Weathered Wood Wall Rack with Verdigris Accents

The tourist season, in Southport, will soon be in full swing. So, I've started to focus on creating some new items to add to my inventory, in my space, at the Northrop Antiques Mall.

This weathered, wood rack is what I made today.

I found these great verdigris drawer pulls in Hobby Lobby...I love their detailed carving.

The cast iron bird knob came from there, too.

Vintage knobs from an old dresser were added in between.

A little bundle of lavender

vintage post cards

and a hanging bud vase are included with the deal.

I had no where to hang it for photos, so our porch is where it ended up.

Usually, I get comments on our screened in porch, so, I thought that I'd share a few more pics of it with you.

This is my favorite wooden tote....my honey's old toolbox!

This was the porch from last Mother's Day. You can see more looks and other views around the room, just type " screened in porch" in my search bar, too!

I'll be back to show you my memo/organizer window that went to my space, too!

Love, Hugs and Kisses,

and Gucci, too!

Visiting Southport, N.C? be sure to stop by my booth @ the Northrop Antiques Mall and see what I may have there for you!

My Rolling Pin Display Recipe Holder

You probably have been wondering where I have been and what I have been up to since I haven't been posting as much as before our move, right?

Well, I've been enjoying the sun, the beach and the pool with my daughter, who recently moved down here, too. And one day, while I was showing her around "Southport" the gorgeous town where they filmed the movie "Safe Haven" we happened upon the filming of Under the Dome, my new favorite t.v. series on CBS on Monday nights. Well, to make a long story short we found out how to become extras and have started a new side "gig." We've had a few scenes in that and also in an HBO series called Eastbound and Down. We are now, waiting anxiously to be included in the filming of Sleepy Hollow and Christmas in Conway. Our area is, now known as, the East Coast L.A. and filming has become a year 'round thing. So, stay tuned and I'll keep you posted for show times....if you should care to try and catch a glimpse of me or the back of my head ;) LOL!

Now, on with the real reason for my post...

I've been pretty busy hunting down and gathering items to bring into my shop space. Since, I'll be adding a few rustic, country kitchen pieces and have a few vintage rolling pins to put up for sale, I decided to do something a bit fun to one.

I decoupaged on some kitchen measures for a fun touch.

Wrapped and knotted some cotton, clothesline rope for hanging on the wall or from a cabinet knob and attached a recipe card....it's a convenient place to keep them handy while you cook!
