I'm ashamed to report that the Halloween decorations are still up, every last one. All that time I should have been stowing away bats and pumpkins was spent stocking my etsy shop, The Merry Magpie, with goodies for you! There are some fun vintage Christmas things in there already, and when I return I have even more pretties waiting to be uploaded!
Last weekend I happened upon a great garage sale, held by a woman who was getting out of the antiques business. She had great stuff and it was priced to move--a winning combination for me! I think I was there for 45 minutes looking at things, although much of that was spent trying to herd Maren away from the breakables. I ended up with a few treasures, including this beautiful vintage magnolia print for just $7.00.
Living in Savannah gave me a soft spot for magnolias and I adore the soft pinks and greens of this print. I even have the perfect place to hang it!See you on Monday--have a great weekend!
I'm a stalker, and I have the courage to finally comment. I love your decorating and crafts, and I will be making a ribbon topiary soon (the original draw to your blog).
ReplyDeleteI love this magnolia picture too! Now, here's my advice (sorry, but I'm a framing nut). If the pink matches your decor, that's fine. But, I think if the mat were changed to a brown or dark green (a color taken from the stems), the color would highlight the magnolias so much better than the pink. The picture kind of fades with the pink mat.
So, there it is, take it or leave it.
Hey there! I was wanting to copy your Super Saturday idea of the customized soap dispensors, but I wanted to know where did you get the transparencies? I didn't know if you need something special to endure the soap, and still be able to be printed on. Please let me know. Thanks!
