... I was looking around the house because I wanted to photograph some of my favourite things. It was difficult because I don't have a lot of stuff in my house, seeing that I try to be somewhat of a minimalist. As I looked up I spotted this panel from an old wooden crate that I found in the dump this spring. It was a fun project where I took the crate apart, washed up each panel and then applied a thin layer of varathane before I mounted them on the kitchen wall. I love everything about this... it is Italian, it held olive oil (yummy!), it has a history, it it natural, and it has been given a new life. This summer I did some research on the olive oil company and all I could find out was that it existed pre-1930. Wish I could find more information. In the meantime, I will just enjoy this found art that makes me so happy.
Great picture Robin!!! And an even better story. Thanks for being faithful with your blogging. I check for new pictures everyday :)
