DBJ......yes that is a mosaiac top my sister Dianne showed me how to do it.......broke up some green tile (that her sister-in-law) gave her from redoing her bathroom, then we mixed the grout up and spreaded it on the old board, and started laying the pieces on.....luckily the uniform pieces all came together great......Thanks......

Rusty..........the orange sculpture my husband really liked....the orange painted one you see was $400.00 and we found one unpainted there for $300.00. Well needless to say, it won't be in my yard. My junking is not quite that expensive.....but they had a great variety of things that Lutrell would surely like........

I really got a bulb to light up in my head when I saw this....hmmm let's see, I can go to my husband's barn and get me one of his 100's deer horns, goat horns, cow horns, paint it a pretty color and use it as my recipe book holder on my kitchen counter.............great idea...........thanks, Sue....Cathy
