Mantel Shelf and an Old Rusty Pitch Fork

Hello Everyone!  Several months ago while browsing around the antique mall, where my booth is located, I found this old rusty pitch fork.  

I just fell in love with it’s worn weathered rustiness.  Look at the handle!     

But I wasn’t sure what I would do with it when I bought it.  The other day, while placing papered eggs that I made on my mantel shelf,  I thought about that pitch fork and the possibility of hanging it beside my mantel shelf. 

And that’s just what I did.  I dug it out of the garage, cleaned it up a little and hung it in the family room beside my mantel shelf.  

At first I wasn’t sure if it was going to be too much on that wall but you know what…..I really like it hanging there!   

I think it will be there for a while.  I can just envision hanging small wreaths from it! 

As always, thanks for stopping by and I hope you all have a wonderful week!

P.S.  Because I get so many emails in regards to my mantel shelf, I feel this is worth noting again, I purchased it many years ago at an auction!
