Last Christmas, Barb received an interesting gift from her twin daughters -- wall art formed from barbed wire! As farmers, the family was accustomed to seeing rusted barbed wire fences in the fields and woods around their home, so seeing it turned into art was interesting. Of course, as she has a tendency to do, Barb decide to start playing with some of those old fences, and was quickly creating her own "Barb"ed Wire Art pieces!
Find these, and other rustic pieces, at the Girls' Weekend Shopping Boutique, Sunday, October 16, in Ellsworth, Wisconsin.

The Granary
The Granary offers an array of handcrafted treasures for you and your home. From homemade jams and jellies to finely crotcheted blankets and washcloths, to shelves and wall art created from salvaged wood, The Granary is a beautiful blend of country, shabby chic, and rustic home decor and gifts. The Granary doesn't have a store location; instead you'll find these wonderful treasures at local craft shows and shops. Or, contact Barb, The Granary's creator, for a personal showing of available items.
The name, "The Granary" was decided on by Barb and her daughter as a simple and appropriate descriptive title. You see, The Granary's signature pieces are rustic decor created from the salvaged barn wood of the granary on Barb's farm. She's always searching for doors, hardware, and other authentic materials to transform into useful pieces that will beautify anyone's home, while bringing a piece of the past with it.
Barb grew up in Austin, MN, one of 11 children. Her mom was a long-time stained glass artist and quilter and, at 97, continues her life of handcrafts with embroidery. And, while some may attribute craftiness to older generations, Barb can also take pride in her children's extensive crafting abilities. With nine children, many of her daughters have long participated in craft fairs themselves, while a son has recently discovered his amazing furniture-making skills!
Having retired this spring, Barb will have more time to devote to her crafts, her family, and her farm.
