Thank God it's thrifty Friday, Friends! This past Saturday, I was treated to a wonderful birthday lunch by Favorite Son and Darling Daughter-in-Law. The weather was gorgeous, and we enjoyed our meal outside then headed to a flea market hosted by one of my favorite stores in nearby Comfort...
We had so much fun browsing the goodies, and I scored this fabulous vintage rake head for $5. Favorite Son carried it around as we continued to shop, and I can't tell you how many times he was asked, "Now what are you going to do with THAT?" One insightful vendor remarked, "It really is the perfect green!"--a lady after my own heart!
After I got home and pondered the perfect green patina, I knew I wanted to create a rustic Christmas tree. I used wire to attach berries and greenery from a wild vine.
I had considered decorating the rustic rake head with ornaments or other Christmas-y decor, but opted to keep the garden tool authentic by using the natural elements and topping it with a single star.
The original hole in the handle was perfect for attaching this metal star.
Here's how it looks on my back door! (Hung with a magnetic hook.)
Please join me on Monday for the Thanksgiving Tablescape hop! Since I'm not hosting for the holiday, I'll be sharing something a little different...
