matress bed old fashion headboard rolling pin
Rolling Pin Headboard Bed. In the days when the matress was stuffed with horsehair, the occupant could detach the rolling pin from the headboard to roll out the lumps. No, this is not my bed.

I love this, the colors too, simply gorgeous. Now I never heard of a rolling pin bed and find this just facinating. That canopy is to die for.

Hey Tim - I've been viewing your recent images as you've posted them, but haven't had time to comment. As always, great shots - lots of interesting subjects. A 10 for you ;)

P.S. - I tried your pumpkin seed 'roast recipe' last night and added various herbs. Very tasty and easy to make. Thank you for sharing! :)

The canopy looks like it took a lot of work to design and construct.
