I guess this hand-made grain scoop started to develop a grain split. This lovely repair adds such character to the piece, doesn't it? Now it's a work of art and many people collect items that have been lovingly and artistically repaired. via

To think there was a day when people didn't just automatically throw things out... The hard times these past few years is forcing people to re-cycle more. I have been reading and loving your lastest posts . Hope all is well with you, Rosemary and your mother. Smiles, Susie
Yes. It's a beautiful, functional work of art.
I love wooden tools and bowls and such. This piece is great!
Susie, Vicki and Angela....
I'm glad you all liked this image too and the thought behind it.
xo, Rosemary
That is rather lovely. A very artistic way to repair the scoop.
I love those old repairs, especially on syrup pitcher lids and china. So thrifty and beautiful!
