Jim's copper pots

Jim was very thrilled to find these copper pots on our trip to Palm Springs...quite a deal in a thrift shop for $65. He's seen them since on eBay without the brass hanging bracket for $500 so I guess they're a bit of a collector's item.

He spent several hours yesterday polishing them up and then today Chris came over and put them up for us since he has the know how and the tools. Chris (bless his heart!) had gone to two hardware stores to find the proper materials and then there was a bit of a glitch today when we discovered that wall has the original plaster and lathing so no stud and of course everything weighs a ton.

But all problems were overcome and they look great! Now, we're all waiting for these fabulous gourmet meals that Jim plans on cooking for us...
