I was arriving home from the studio on Monday evening, and as I pulled in the driveway I saw that my neighbors across the street were putting their trash on the curb for the Tuesday morning trash pick up. My eye was immediately drawn to this pile of wooden “bones” that I knew was the structure of an old pool/patio umbrella.
I hopped out of the truck, threw it in the back and was literally giddy as I skipped up my driveway. You see, this is just the type of thing I am looking for to use as a display in the showroom! I am planning on having a good assortment of ornaments this year for Christmas…..and this might just be the ticket for all of that goodness!
Oh, and my neighbor peeked her head over the fence to laugh at me {we take each others “trash” all the time!} and ask what I was going to do with such a thing…..and when I told her I have to say…..I think know I blew her mind!
All in a days work my friends. Stay thirsty.

AWE-SOME! A wooden Christmas tree, perhaps? For the studio?
