When my son Riley (now almost 20) was just a few months old, my mom and I would load him up in his car seat and hit the garage sales around town. Sometimes we wouldn't have any more than $3.00 between us. Wonderful memories. Anyway, on one of those outings, I picked up 2 old green shutters out of someone's trash pile. I was in love! The color was perfect and over the years I built up quite a collection of items that perfect shade of green. I've carried those shutters to every new house. Recently, I had to cut one down a bit so that it would fit next to the fireplace and look right with the other one on the other side. One shutter was always taller than the other. I couldn't bare to part with the pieces left over after I shortened it. I've been trying to figure out what to do with the leftover pieces This is a picture of one of the shutters.
