The Cranky Queen & one of her more
"artsy" than
"junky" gal pals,
Jester Gina, took a royal ride to B'ham to attend one of the neatest little art shows called
HANDMADE. Each year this event is held at an artist's home (usually outside in a quaint neighborhood with terraced lawn & an inviting home that just screams eclectic&cool).This year was no exception!

The Queen adores salvaged architecture! This cross was calling her name. Love the old wood & mortise lock |

The Queen was "Cranky No More" when she spotted this little bench tucked away in the backyard! It is good to be Queen! |
Made from both old and new rulers and yard sticks...
Cranky King will be making a few of these salvageable "smarties"~
