bit of a wall update
You may remember that I updated a space on my wall last winter. I shared it here. I was pretty happy with it,
but, I sold the sign. Hooray, I love when I sell things, but that meant there was a vacant place that needed to be filled. I had this great white star made from tobacco sticks hanging over my bed.
but, (lots of buts happening) I didn't have anything else I wanted to replace it with. Then I found something I loved at an auction, which I'll share at another time.
So, up went the star over the old screen.
I kept the old window arrangement that I had originally,
but (there's another but) then I found something last week at the auction that I fell in love with. I originally planned to sell it, but I decided I didn't want to part with it for now.
It's a beautiful vintage organza and lace christening gown with a satin slip. I love it with the primitive window frame and antique wedding photo.
So now I have an update to the wall, that I'm happy with for now.
Now all I have to do is find the energy for the rest of the room.

Laura, That looks very good. I am the type that once I find a placement I hate to change it... I do not know why. You can make those stars with tree branches ans twine too. Blessings, xoxo,Susie
ReplyDeleteThanks, Susie. I'm always changing things around, and because I sell a lot of the things in my home I have to replace them. I've seen the stars made from branches. I love the rustic look of them :)
DeleteThat's pretty. I have the same problem - I buy stuff and think I'll sell it and then end up keeping it. What is wrong with me?
ReplyDeleteI try not to beat myself up about it. A lot of the time I will eventually end up selling it, but if I didn't spend a lot for it then I just enjoy it. There is nothing wrong with enjoying things for yourself, Kim. :)
DeleteLove the star and the new christening gown. So nice.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Debby :)
DeleteI like the new look, Laura. I'm glad you are keeping the gown to enjoy for yourself too.
ReplyDeleteIt's an rare find!
Thanks. It is in wonderful condition!
DeleteThat's such a pretty wall arrangement! Loved the street sign that you sold. I have that same wooden star too. It's in storage right now, but I will probably bring it out again in the future.
ReplyDeleteMy younger sister tries to steal that star from me when she comes to visit from Arizona. I have to keep an eye on her sticky fingers. LOL!
DeleteIt is all beautiful! I love vintage things and wish they could talk and tell us their story.
ReplyDeleteMe too, Linda. I would love to hear the story of that christening gown :)
DeleteLaura it looks so pretty! I'm ready to do some Fall decorating this week!
ReplyDeletehugs,
Linda
I got more in the mood this morning when I went out for my walk and it was chilly. I guess the change of seasons is inevitable :)
ReplyDeleteA beautiful arrangement. You really have the touch!
