Last year I was driving home from who knows where, and not too far from my house I spotted a bunch of wooden things that somebody was trashing. They looked kind of nice in a shabby way. So I parked the car and went knocking on their door. After a couple of tries, I just threw it all in the car boot.
When I got home I looked at all the pieces and it quickly occurred to me what it was. So I started putting the puzzle together.... and I was right - it was a beaten up hat and coat stand. I was very thrilled with my free find!
So I went to work on it for several weeks....
... then this beautiful creature was in our lives.
As you can see in the background, there is a big old mess. I'm always up to something!
