Building the Back Bar for Ruffles & Rust Square No. 2

We were planning on moving into our new space today at R & R Square but the snow just kept coming! We now have about 14 inches of snow and it's still snowing. Since we couldn't get up the driveway we decided to head up the to shop and build the new back bar for R & R Square.

First we picked out some nice boards for the top which were reclaimed bat and board siding, the wood for the frame was found in a barn over in Lakewood. We always use salvaged and reclaimed wood whenever possible to give each piece a one of a kind look.

Then we ran them through the planer.......

Next comes the frame and legs..............

Lots and lots of sanding, nailing and lag bolting to shore the frame up and make it nice and                   sturdy for all of those large purchases that will be made at R & R Square No. 2!

Then the tops are set in place and screwed down..........................

This amazing back bar is ready for delivery to R & R Square! Timi and Annie are going to decide how it will be finished, maybe just waxed or oiled or possibly painted. Thanks Tim and Annie for creating this one of a kind store for everyone to enjoy! We are so excited to be a part of it!

Oh and in between sanding I managed to build a pussy willow wreath that will be in our space soon.

Wildcrafting in Mazama

We headed over to Mazama for the weekend to recharge and do some wild crafting. The air was crisp and the sound of the river made for a perfect setting to build a Pine Wreath. 

First we gathered plenty of Pine Boughs, some with Pine Cones still attached.................

Then we started wiring the Pine Boughs on the wreath base working our way around.............

Here we are wiring

boughs around

the wreath base.

This is a large base

about 30 inches which

makes about a 36

inch wreath when

completed.

 Here is the completed Pine Bough Wreath! 

Makes a beautiful Holiday statement, hung outside the wreath will last through the season. 

We'll have a few of these at our upcoming vintage sale,  2nd Saturdayz...hope to see you there!

John and Brenda
