Farm House Christmas Charm for the Birds chicken feeder wreath..and a short Tribute to the Bird Dog.

I have had these rabbit or chicken feeders lying around for a year just waiting for the inspiration to strike.  I had chalk paint and love the look of it on galvanized metal.  So a can of chalk paint

 and some of 

this,

A hot glue gun and some floral foam and a bag of decorative Spanish moss was also thrown in.

And you have some Farm House Christmas charm.  The chalk window is versatile, you can put your house number on it or last name to make it personal.  

I think the old ruler sections add just that Funky Flare as well as a aged warmth.

The sky is the limit hope you found some inspiration for the next time you are rummaging around in the "barn".

And as a last note I want to pay tribute to the best dang dog I have ever owned.

BEAU

Even when he begged to bring his Easter Bone in and even cleaned the storm door with it.

Beauregard Grande De' Bonze

(as stated on his papers)

He was neglected and in pretty bad shape when we took him in. I think you call that a rescue dog and he was a rescue dog ...He rescued us.  His unconditional love was astounding .  I had never had a dog that was as in touch with each family member as he was.  Many a day was spent with the kids in school and Hubby working, and Beau my only company. 

 The last one I said goodnight too.

The view on the end of my recliner most nights..

And the first one to greet me in the morning.

He will be missed and it was a hard decision to have him put down.  He had a tumor in his sinus cavity and removing may have taken his life.  So we loved loved him until he let me know it was time.

So:

Good Night Old Man I will see you again when I get home.  

Readers I  hope you have been blessed with the love of a good dog it is something you will carry with you even when they are gone.
