...these days numbers are here, there and everywhere. From furniture to wall art - they are simply "in". So this week at my mos' fav' farm supply store - I snatched up these great metal numbers. Now, are you ready for me to tell you what they are for?
They are cattle tags. Now these are not like the most commonly used tags - which are plastic ear tags. These are heavy, thick, metal ones that look - well, totally cool, I think.
So for just a few pennies... I brought them home and tied them on my baskets which I've been collecting for a while. I THINK they are ole' racks out of freezers/refrigerators. I think they are gonna look great in my new pantry filled with potatoes and the like - don't ya think they'll be cute all lined up in a row?
I love this one 'cause it has a neat blue color to it. I put some "project" fabric in it for now - but needless to say, the only project happening around here these days is "home building".
The previous numbers have no significant meaning but I'll let ya in on a lil' secret - shhhhhh - I'll be this many PLUS 10 tomorrow. Yep...39... hard to believe. But hey, age IS just a number, right? And I'm grateful to have another Happy Birthday.
Have a beautiful Sunday!

Love it!! The cattle tags and the baskets. We live in a farming/dairy community, I wonder if my farmers supply will have those. I'm sure I could find a cute way to use them. Love the burlap type ties you used too. Happy Birthday. At 39 you are a baby...and it all about how old you feel.
ReplyDeleteBelated Birthday blessings wished for you! Hope it's a great year! Love the spring header and your fun baskets!

ReplyDeleteLove those cattle tags! Could you tell me the name of the store where you found them?
ReplyDeleteMany thanks!
Lynn - this is to answer your question. Those tags come from our local feed supply store, which happens to be my employer ;-). The store is called Central Farmers Supply - in business for nearly 40 years. Hope this helps!
ReplyDeleteThose tags are sooo cute and my mind is whirlig with the possibilities. Thanks for the great tip!!
