Dreamcatcher

Posted on 14th Mar 2020 by | 38 Comments

Look what I found, hanging in my fig tree!

barbed-wire dreamcatcher

My wonderful son-in-law is a farmer and he was clearing away an old rusty fence. Knowing how much I love rust, he wrapped some into a Dreamcatcher for me and hung it in my Fig Tree.

He also left another bundle of rust for me to cut up and use.

I am so delighted with the thought and the time he put into this in his busy day.

When I thanked him for the time, the thought, the gift, he said, “I like supporting your crazy arty-crafty ways”!

How lucky am I!

    To think I see wire lying around and never see the creative side of it – this looks lovely:)

    That is lovely, uses up something that would otherwise probably go to waste, made you smile, showed his love and you passed it on to all of us! Fantastic!

    A fabulous gift and a lovely SIL. He did a great job. I think rust should be the official gift of Friday the 13th!

    You have a fab Son in law. My Son often gives me ‘finds’ such as blown down birds nests, rusty metal, interesting pieces of wood etc…I’m always picking up rusty nuts, bolts, washers, bits of metal…..I love the dream catcher he made for you! 🙂
