Do you know what this is?
I have two of them and I just love them.
I found this on one of my antiquing jaunts during a weekend in the country.
I am using this new one as a plate rack.
I will love having this cute space to decorate.
At some point it was spray painted.
It has a wonderful chipped patina.
One thing I love about decorating is the ability to carry an element throughout a room.
I bought what is now a platter rack ages ago.
I love it on the end of my counter.
It adds just a tiny bit interest to my boring builder cabinets.
Have you figured out what these are?
If you have spent time in church you will recognize a hymnal holder!
I spent many hours in church staring at the hymn books, which make these a fun addition to our home.
I love that the white one has a name or initials carved
into the wood.
It looks like it says Jill or J.H.
How cute is that?
How cute is that?
It makes me think of a child finding a way to pass the time in
church or Bible study.
I hope you can find one of these.
