New Bits

This was a quiet weekend as far as stocking the shop was concerned.  I was up north with B---- for the long weekend here in Canada, where I completed my bedroom makeover.  I am guest posting for someone this week and you will see it then.
We had our farm table repaired, sanded and oiled and also the bench.
We took it outside into the parking lot to get a better photo in the sunshine.....
This big green baby is a Carboy or Demijohn, used in winemaking,  It was really thick with dried grape juice when I brought it home.
I gave it a bubble bath and all the Bordeaux washed away and left it sparkling......

    I love your new bits and glad to see you found yourself a carboy. I love the green glass - she's nice.... Did you happen to see that I found one last weekend too, for only $5 and I got a few other bits as well.

    You have such great style, that table and bench set are amazing. I am in love with those wine bottles, they are in the Pottery Barn for over $200. Looks perfect. Lori
