Wine Wednesday: Craft edition

Recently, I was walking through one of those home décor stores and saw an interesting wall decoration. 

Metal letters, pre-boarding.

Metal letters were secured on wooden bread boards and hung behind a display. 

The items that aren't for sale are sometimes the most interesting items in a store.

That got me thinking — I could make letter boards of my own. 

While I was wandering the fields of Warrenton earlier this month at the Round Top Antiques Fair, I stumbled upon bread boards. 

Around the corner was a booth selling metal letters.

Staging the craft.

I used small nails to secure the letters to the boards. I think they turned out nicely.

Wine-infused antique hunt

This past weekend, the Round Top Antiques Fair wrapped up its fall show in and around Round Top, Texas. The government is shut down, but this show always goes on. 

I found a few things I liked. 

On Saturday, I came across a booth in a field between Warrenton and Round Top that was peddling a unique product. Wine bottles house wine-infused candles, handmade in South Carolina by Rewined Candles.

 

I found another treasure in a field nearby that is an example of the ingenuity inspired by this show.

 

Do you have an industrial chemical carrier that you're not using right now? You can put some wine in it!

The weather held up for the most part and there were so many people at the fair — it seems like there are more and more people each time I go.

I can't wait until April.
