Wine Bottle Fountain

Sister #2 Frannie had a birthday and this was made as a gift for her. The nail keg is one that I did for a college project back in 1969!!! It was made into a stool with storage back then--we have gotten a little more creative since then. Well, we drink wine now too. Keg holds plastic container for water and pump -- black metal tray with bottles, the bottles standing are glued to tray the one laying down has a hole for tube to feed water up. The container at the bottom is filled with small rocks first and then topped off with wine corks. There is another tube running back into the keg so the water recycles

Junk {re}defined Market

The Pfarkel sisters are getting ready for our spring market on Fri - Sat, May 8 & 9 from 10 to 5 at the Victorian Lace in St. Charles, MN. It is like spring cleaning with a little bit of a twist. We also will be having City-wide garage sales and city-wide cleanup day on the same weekend, which means we will be running in all directions. Our junk market sale will be in the house while the neices will be taking care of the garage sale at the garage and driveway and we will still have to make it around town to see what everyone else is throwing away curbside. Curbside is where we get our best things.
