I'm always drawn to old things...things that look like they just need a little love. Weathered signs, window frames, and vintage watering cans have all found their way home with me, but this time, a silver teapot - ahhh, yes, it looked like it had potential.
Not as teapot, for it had two broken legs, but as a windchime! Hmmm, out came the drill and filament line.
A hole here and there...
A hammer to flatten some old silverware, then a hole in each handle...
And before I knew it, done!
Now, it's not everyone's cup of tea...but when the wind blows and the silverware begins to "sing" in the breeze, I love it.
Yep...use it up, wear it out, make it do, or do without...our grandmothers were right!
