Happy Wednesday to you all!
My very much loved piece of 'junk' today is an old fishing 'creel'. I picked this little beauty up at a local flea market. I love the curve to it and the cane - the colour, the weathered texture and the weave. I love the idea that these were used to put fish in that were caught - these days its mostly plastic.
Can't you just picture it, a fisherman on the beach, his wader's on and creel slung over his back... salt spray in the air...
My hubby is a fisherman and he love's the sea and river, we love it when he bring's home a beautiful fresh fish. I really like the sustainability - locally caught and used by us.
This little creel is on our little front porch and is a great place to store shoes that we take off before coming inside - so instead of heaps of shoes piling up on the little porch - they go in to the creel. It is also a really great little seat for the littlies to sit on whilst we adults sit on the cane chairs. All in all I am pretty happy with my purchase - beautiful, more sustainable then a new product and practical!
