reclaimed wood :: etsy finds

i haven't done an "etsy finds" post in a while.  i think it's a must during the holiday shopping season... don't you?

i simply adore anything made from reclaimed wood.  especially if it hasn't been painted and you can see the interest in the tree.  it's such a miracle really - the lovely lines and color that come from weather and age.  when i see a piece of art or furniture made from reclaimed wood i love to imagine and wonder about the life it has lived.  was it a tall tree?  did it bloom beautiful flowers?  was it then used to build a barn?  and now this?

below are a few creative uses for this incredible natural resource i found on etsy. 

Bare - Reclaimed Wood Desk Caddy

Punk Block Bot

4 Baskets and a Board Wall Storage / Hanging

Leaf Bowl

Reclaimed Wood Jewelry Organizer

iPhone/iPod docking station

p.s.  i'm working on my own little reclaimed wood project too.  i can't wait to show you!
