Old Leather Horse Harness Christmas Wreath

Last year I picked up this old leather horse harness at an estate auction
 from a farmhouse here in South Carolina.
 
(this is the back, I did not take a before pic)
 
I actually bid on it because it had a roll of old chicken wire with it. The wire was perfectly aged and rusty in spots and would work perfectly for so many projects I have on my list.
 
The harness got put in the attic of my workshop for a while, I even think it made it into the Goodwill donation box at least once before I decided to hang onto it.
 
Boy am I glad I kept it.

Old Tin Measuring Cups Turned Christmas Decor

Are there certain items that you always tend to purchase when you find them at a really good price?
Even if you don't need them or know what you are going to do with them?
 
Aluminum measuring cups are one of those things that I always grab when I see them.
I don't even know why, except that I like them.
