Ahck. Haven’t done Sunday Self for a while. Exactly the reason to bring it back.
Sometimes I forget that God brought me into His beautiful light.
Crafty Tuesday
I LOVE Anthropologie.
Love it.
Although I can’t go in and buy every single thing I see in the store,
just walking through and browsing is {happy-dance} relaxing to my senses.
The smell.
The texture.
The décor.
It does it for me (and I know I’m not alone).
Which brings me to my circa 1970’s condo which has no interesting history and leaves me feeling uninspired - but I have a great fireplace that works – I love that! However, fireplace mantles have always been a bit of a challenge for me and then I was motivated by a post from a Facebook friend and a couple blogs I happened upon all within a 12 hour period of time.
One day later I had my own Anthropologie inspired wall.
I used clip earrings from the collection I inherited from my mom. They get to sparkle with a new, repurposed life!
I used old sheet music for the carnation shaped flowers because I just couldn’t bring myself to tear out pages from ANY of my vintage books I have laying around.
As proud as I was of my new decorations, I didn’t say a word to the Guy-I-Dig. I wanted to see his reaction… Ironically, even though the fire place is the first thing you see when you walk into our living area, he didn’t notice for two full days.
He even set down and picked up his glasses from the mantle.
Three days later, as I sat at the table working with Harrison on something, I glanced up to see him looking intently at the wall above the fire place, “How long has this been here?”
“All weekend.”
He laughed, “DOH!”
I love my husband.
…and he gave the wall décor his two thumbs up.
