| With the addition of old clock springs and bits of hardware, wooden shoe forms become photo holders, book holders or business card holders in a few easy steps. |
~It's all about the thrill of the hunt and cruisin' the backroads looking for the next great pick. Rummaging through barns, flea markets, shops and yard sales to find lost treasures is only part of the adventure. Next comes the challenge of restoring and re-purposing them into new creations with updated uses. My favorite finds are architectural salvage, industrial pieces, unusual light fixtures, and vintage hardware. But the real story, which always transcends the pickin', is about the interesting people and the unique places discovered along the way!~

Nancy, those shoe forms are ingenious! I saw some at the auction in IN last week, and would never have thought of such a clever use! You are amazing. Still planning on attending Bella Rustica if we don't have to go to a horse show. Hope you get to come. Let me know if you are. carrell
