What Would You Do? (Vintage Chicken Feeder!)

Do you ever see something at an antique store that you pass up and then it haunts you?  Seriously, I think I had a dream about it.

This lovely was at an antique mall that I love...American Classics Marketplace in Colorado Springs.  It was in the "warehouse" section.  It was in a little, cram-packed booth.  It was a miracle that I found it again!  But I did and now it's mine!

And I don't know what to do with it =)

There's this cute idea... from conceptfurnishings on Etsy.

And this from http://mysalvagedtreasures.blogspot.com

Or I could get one of these....

I could do this, but I only have one.  (Read her blog!  So cute! http://bucketsofburlap.blogspot.com/2010/06/chicken-feeders.html )

Finally...there's this sweet project from http://www.junkmarketstyle.com/item/15326/dont-be-chicken-nightlight

I was thinking about hanging "S" hooks across it, horizontally---a jewelry organizer? coat rack? key rack? I haven't settled on anything yet and welcome your input!

Once Upon a Window--Update!

 I've updated my window wall a little with a very handmade bunting.  It is made from a couple of fabric quarters, some felt, and pages from a vintage Bible.  I cut out a few of my favorite passages (Isaiah 53, Isaiah 61, Ephesians 6, Ephesians 4) and sewed them on to the fabric triangles.  Everything is hand-stitched onto a piece of twine.  I know these buntings are very trendy right now and this might not be a long-term decoration, but it was inexpensive and it makes me smile.  It also fills in the awkward area above the huge window!  A few close-ups of the current window panels follow.  I made them to be easy to change out, because, face it...I have a short attention span!
