      Thanks, Virginia!

  3. Awesome project. It will be a great mantel backdrop. I’d like to see it with my Nativity set, putting “Gloria”, the angel on the center top! I had to smile when I saw your package of nails! When I haunt ReStore, I look for treasures exactly like that! You never know when that little pack of nails, brads, screws is gonna come in handy!

      I love the idea of using it as a backdrop for the Nativity, Kathy! Might have to steal that idea:) And yes…always on the watch for old nails and screws…especially if they already have patina!

      Yes, we’re supposed to get 5 inches today! Too early:( I wasn’t ready…had to pull a bunch of plants into the garage quickly! I can’t wait to hang a pretty Christmas greens wreath on this one! Thanks, Marlene!

      Thanks, Tania! It was nice to be in the workshop again:)

  6. Wow, Lora, this is absolutely gorgeous! What a stunning pattern and patina on the sheet of vintage ceiling tin. Much more character than had you turned it into a chalkboard.

      Never met a vintage tin piece I didn’t love, Marie:) And I probably have enough chalkboards already!
