How to Make Buoy Coastal Hang Tags
Last year I made these adorable nautical hang tags.
You can read all about them by visiting this bold link.
Just recently Deb, a friend of Homeroad, contacted me and asked me if I had any left, she wanted them for the tables at her son's rehearsal dinner.
Since it was the middle of winter, driftwood was hard to come by so I convinced Deb to try another idea.
I happen to have the slats from a 100 year old oak barrel in my basement.
She asked me if it was possible to make 10 of them look like buoys, each one a little different.
I cut up the slats and made a sample...
Pin for later --->>>
She loved it!
So I got to work making 10 buoy hang tags... all a little different.
A few days later, off they went to hang on centerpieces for her son's rehearsal dinner.

A Perfect Image Transfer & A New Friend

You may remember the wedding chair I made for my daughter's bridal shower.
Well, one afternoon I got an email from a woman that owned a shop in a neighboring town.
She said she had a woman in her store that was looking for me.
The woman asked the shop owner if she had ever heard of a shop called Homeroadand did she know where could she find me.
Funny thing is... I didn't have a shop.
Well, I didn't when this post was written.
The shop owner did located me through my blog, emailed me and gave me Joanne's number so I could reach her...
and I did.
Joanne was lovely!
She was very excited to have found me.
Turns out she lives not far, follows Homeroad,
saw my post on the wedding chair, and wanted to know if …
