Why can't I just throw it away?

Do you ever have one of those items that probably should be thrown away, but ya just can't do it?  I have this vintage English trug with remnants of original green paint that has been slowly deteriorating over the last few years.  I just can't throw it away....






I think it still has a couple'a good years left!!

  2. I think it's got some life left in it too! I will hold on to things forever, and then when I finally throw it away, I wish I had it again! OY!

  3. i totally agree!
    It is a keeper!!

    you could line it with some birch bark or something and still use it. put some burlap over the birch if it is not your thing.

    a lovely piece!

  6. It looks beautiful! So glad you didn't throw it out. I have "made" myself toss things and later regretted it. Sometimes it takes a while to get inspiration for repurposing a piece. Blessings! Nita Jo
