1. A Lucite napkin holder from the shop Dragonfly down on Brady. It's price was a little more than I wanted to spend (especially considering one corner had been busted and glued back together sans a couple pieces) but I couldn't pass it up. When I was little I had absurd dreams of a sunflower themed kitchen and this fit way too perfectly into my seven year old-self's dream world!
2. This excellent example of kitschy art that will have a proud spot on my bedroom wall once I'm done rearranging everything. The dowel that the owl is perched on looks oddly new (though I'm sure it isn't, it would be nigh impossible to shove it in there with that frame on) so I think I might try and stain it so it isn't quite the sore thumb. I'm sure it was from some pattern, because I'm fairly certain I've seen an identical one on The Dainty Squid's blog. I picked it up with my parents in this old woman's garage for mere pocket change.

ReplyDeleteb) I'll probably make one before then, too.
