Recycled Spring Carrots

Note: not a sponsored post for Restoring Piece or Annie Sloan paints, but they are favorites of "Three Sisters Four." 

Glenda spent a fun evening last Friday with a group of women at Restoring Piece, a unique shop in downtown Northport, AL, owned and operated by Brandon and Jeni Bowen. 

She and her friends painted a wooden carrot that Brandon made from recycled wood salvaged from the recently demolished Kilgore House on the University of Alabama campus (info on the old Kilgore house: http://tour.ua.edu/tourstops/kilgore.html). 

They used Annie Sloan paints, glazes, and wax to create their door decorations. The group has also done Christmas trees and a Valentine heart all made from salvaged wood and tin.

Hope you enjoy this great spring craft and are inspired to recycle and reuse materials to create something new and beautiful. Enjoy - Christy
