The artist: Sue Hrubes has come to recognize value and beauty in the things that others have long forgotten. With a little hard work and creativity she is able to bring back that long lost beauty and make it available to you.

Come see finished pieces at the Ligonier Country Market
Every Saturday we will have pieces available at the Ligonier Country Market in Ligonier, PA. If you have never been to Ligonier, it is a great place to visit. In the downtown area there are plenty of quaint shops and restaurants. Find out more about Ligonier at the Ligonier Chamber of Commerce.

How we turn somebody else's junk into art

The search is half the fun:
The search for new pieces never ends. In short, we go anywhere that people "think" they have junk and we find treasures in the rough. Some places we like to go are garage sales, flea markets and auctions.

Getting it ready for renewal
Often times the pieces we find show the effects of not being cared for in years. Metal might be rusty and wood may have some rotted sections. To prep a piece for painting it is necessary to clean, sand, prime, and top coat the piece. Now, it is ready for finishing.

"Many items stay in this unfinished state until they tell me what they want to be. It's like going to an animal shelter and giving a new home to a discarded animal...It Only Wants To Be Home!" - Sue Hrubes
