As I may have mentioned, we LOVE to go out to the lake on the weekends! We were blessed with a little bit of land, so not only do we go out on the water, but we shoot guns, play croquet, and ride around on a silly golf cart.
We are CLASSY on weekends!
Anyways, this past weekend, we had some family friends out to join us! So in summary, we had my parents, the Crook's, their 4 kids, my brother, his friend, and myself. Talk about a party (and a few intense croquet games)!
Naturally, the boys (all five of them) piled themselves into the golf cart with guns to do who knows what. Unlike normal people who shoot at targets or cans, they bring along an old tin pot...the kind you cook in. What remained of it sat in the yard until the dads decided it was time to throw it away...
Being the junkie I am, I suggested we do something with it. It could maybe make a cool flower arrangement or something...but I never heard about it again...until I got this picture from my mom earlier this week:
Turns out, the Crook's took it home and made this fabulous looking lamp!! Kind of has a good rustic edge to it...doesn't it? (P.S. - love the easy mac in the background...the Crook's are my kind of people!)
I just love finding other junkies out there!! Have any other stories like this one? Share please!!
