Remember those beautiful vintage wooden spools I scored on the best tag sale-ing weekend ever? I knew I had to have them, but I didn't know why (story of reclaimed crafts' life, really). Luckily, the very same weekend my friend Hilary Price (yes, that Hilary Price - my friendship with her may be the closest I get to my 15 minutes of fame. Oh, wait. Rachel Maddow was at my wedding. That must count for something). But I digress. Hilary was in a creative mood and is Jewish. Excellent combination, because look what happened next: vintage wooden spools + reclaimed yardstick + touch of industrial (lug nuts) = one creative menorah! This one will be for sale at Twist this Friday night and all day Saturday. So come on down and snap it up, or email me for a special order. Hanukah's late this year, so you have plenty of time!
