This was a big hit at the Country Living Fair as part of the "Autumnal Dining Room". Can you guess what the round piece is? It sure was ugly when I found it but now....not so much!

Did you make this?
After you make it, show it off to other members in the Member Junk area.
Post your project photos

I think it is the cover for some kind of fan or machinery. Food service or farm. Posted: 11:20 am on October 7th

You are a wealth of projects girl. Can't wait to see you at AA/JMS and laugh a bit with you.
