Old Canning Pot Herb Rack

One of the most challenging aspects of running my own antique shop
 is keeping up with the trends.

You wouldn't think antiques would have to, however,
 with so many people decorating with old things,

You have to keep it fresh......
.and that is hard to do without tapping into the "China thing"......

Which I just won't do....will not, can not....ever.

You have to be creative, but it can be done.

This is a canning rack out of an old copper wash pot.

It's been painted......

Filled with hand painted chalk pots for planting your kitchen herbs.....

And looks better than anything reproduced in China.......

For me, it all about staying true to what I love,

Staying "green" by recycling, and

Supporting the economy in the USA.....and small independent businesses and growers.

That's the only way our country is going to get stronger...
Think about it.

Thanks for stopping by today,

You know I love it when you come....
