This brother hook already was sold at Metal and Crate.

Off to Metal and Crate in the today...
A wedding gift for Daniel n Sarah....Shh .They haven't seen it yet...
 It's Spring and it just feels right to be painting again! 
I was all about planting flowers there for a while, and now its too dreary outside for that. BUT...I AM getting very excited about my green beans sprouting,potatoes poking thro, eating rhubarb crisp, and our very own asparagus! Someone in our family brought home asparagus from Costco cuz he wanted some TONITE, and I had just picked mine off the day before and it was terribly hard to use that instead of my own,but i tried hard to be gracious and grateful!!:) So tonite we ate it side by side to see which was the best! (They were both great, but one did't have ANY chemicals!:) At any rate we're enjoying our fresh garden produce immensely!
It looks like the weather will remain unsettled for a few days,and I'm fine with that! We need the rain, and it will make things grow profusely! In the meantime I'll be painting up a storm as time allows. 
There's a few big items in the garage that have been on hold thro the winter months-mostly auction items,but also our old Hoosier which has BEEN  waiting on a re-do for long enough now. I was especially anxious to get to an ancient looking desk that I bought at the Beiler sale! Its got some damage but it's in progress and looking just swell!! Someone will appreciate it, if they like vintage and masculine! It IS authentically OLD!! I will be posting pics of it SOON... and if there are any interested buyers, I would be happy to sell it to you! I'm again amazed at how paint can transform a ragged old peice with little or no appeal, to something people can appreciate and use in their home!!
I love my painting hobby ...I'm not making a  lot of money..but I sure am having a lot of fun!!
