More Keys

OK, I think I'm addicted to skeleton keys!  I was looking through a Restoration Hardware Home catalog last night while waiting for choir rehearsal to start and one of the things that jumped out the most to me was this framed key:

 They had them hanging in a 2 x 3 grouping in a bedroom.  Looked great.  And they are "only" $199 each!   Here's what I made a couple of months ago to sell at Room With a Past:

 Of course, mine are a lot smaller.  But I'm selling them for only $10!  Maybe I should raise my prices!

And here's a link to Urban Outfitters that Jordy sent me.  At least their prices were reasonable!  I'm gonna try to bend one of my keys to see if I can make her a bracelet like this one.  Anyone have any suggestions?

BTW, I did take some photos of our fall decor but it was too dark & they didn't turn out very well.  So I'll take some Saturday -- after I clean house.

Giant Keys!

Small Place Style recently had a Pottery Barn Christmas preview on their blog & look what I spotted!

Do you see the giant key hanging from the ceiling?  It made me think of when I was shopping with my sister in Texas & looking for keys & other things to make into jewelry.  Here's what we found that day:

I decided it was a little too big for a necklace.  But now I want to go back and buy one for my wall.  :-)  I didn't see the giant key on the Pottery Barn website -- maybe when I get their catalog?  But they did have some mid-size keys - 4"-7".  Gotta leave for work now. I'll try to post more key photos later... along with our FALL FAIRY photos!!!
