American Flag Project

We Love America

Available as a Special Order item  Rustic Metal American Flag

When I came across some pieces of galvanized ribbed roofing this summer, my intention was to use the metal for birdhouse roofs, which I may at a later date, but before the birdhouse project ever flew (I know, bad pun) I saw some pictures of rustic American flags, and thought, I can do that. 

 The timing was just right too, as the birthdays of my two sons were fast approaching.  It’s sometimes hard to figure out what boys would like as birthday presents but I thought sure a flag to hang in their garage or workshop would be just the right gift. I like to give handmade gifts if I can, so I got busy and started creating.

It's a Wonderful Day!

Hooray!  The blog is up and running and I’m excited to finally be able to share my love of the hunt for just the right pieces of furniture and junkie things to restore or repurpose.   I invite you to come through my picket fence gate and down the path to my workshop to watch as these discarded, broken, and unwanted items are transformed into fun, functional, one-of-a-kind treasures. 

All of the items I feature in my blog posts are for sale, as well as other items, so be sure to view my BUY tab to see current items for sale and the link to Craigslist  that gives a complete description.  The list will continually change so check back often.  You can be notified of new blog posts by entering your email address in the Receive Posts via Email box in the right-hand column of this page.

My Etsy.com store is coming soon and if I get enough projects completed this winter my plan is to also sell my treasures at the Ellenberger Park Farmer’s Market on the second Sunday of each month May through October 2013.  Guess I’d better get busy!

I need your help to clean out my shed to make room for more, but enter the shed at your own risk!  Lol!  See “The Stockpile” page for items waiting for me to give them some TLC.  (Pictures are not pretty but once restored these pieces will look fantastic!) Contact me to reserve the item that would look great in your home and choose a color and I’ll custom paint it for you!

I’d love it if you would share my blog with your families and friends and follow me on Pinterest and Facebook, too.  I welcome your comments and ideas, and hopefully I'll inspire you to try a DIY project of your own!  

It's been a great learning experience to set up a blog, edit pictures, and create blog posts and I look forward to re-connecting with old friends and making many new ones along the way.

My gate is always open,  Jeri
