    You are one talented lady. The one set of salvage pieces looked like swans. The tree turned out prefect, but my favorite was the basket with the paper wreath. That is so beautiful. Have a wonderful weekend. 😊❤

    I love “repair” episodes. It was like watching my dad. He used match sticks to fill in the hole so that he could “rebuild” things . I like to use the clay to repair too! I fixed a set of “courting frogs” for my parents. One of the feet had fallen off. When I was able to match the paint, I felt so good!

    I do the same thing. If something is broken or needs a little fix I’ll buy it anyway n sometimes I’ll get it cheaper. I think you did a super job on the Christmas tree n ram. It’s kinda fun doing it that way. At least for me. Oh my, what a great imagination you did on the arches. They definitely look like they’ve sat around for years aging. The other salvage pieces were good looking too. I think I need to order the white milk paint.

    I love the aged architectural elements! There's a little cottage store up the street from me and it's so weird that people go there to shop the door is open, and they want you to pick out what you want and put money in the mailbox they provide for you. You would have a field day there because there is so much. There are doors and windows and old door knobs. And I feel so weird going there when there's nobody there. I'm just going to have to do it and see what happens.
