Simplicity in threes

Three old growth fir boards...the patina is so lovely...I couldn't bear to paint them...
rather I added a layer of wax to highlight the grain and their well-worn look...




















Three vintage glass bottles...more oval than round...
























Three old-school broom clips...
























Three metal paper fasteners...from which I removed the flat metal sliders...to make them into label holders...























Add in three screws, some upholstery tacks and a couple of posies...
and you have three simple bottle vases...




































Each vase is complemented with its own description adjective...culled from a vintage dictionary so the brown, aged paper highlights the wooden board...












 
Three vases...to use inside or outside...to hold a fistful of flowers...

or a single bud...

And while all of this commotion is going on in the garden...one patient dog waits for his walk...
Linking up to Funky Junk Interiors Saturday Nite Special...with a highlight on pets...
 

worth a look...
