The other thing I did today was take photos of a fun project I did a while back that I hadn't yet shared here. The Mr. is fond of numbers and fond of vintage or antique things that have a history. I put those two likes together for some wall art that suits his fancy.
In a past life, these vintage numbers hung outside a gas station to indicate the price of gas. Fun!
As you can see, they're hanging in our front entry, which separates the living room from the kitchen. I probably bought the numbers a year ago (from Etsy), but it took me forever to decide where to put them. As I've shared before, when I don't know exactly what to do with something, I hold off until I do. I don't like putting holes in the wall until I'm sure.
The numbers are significant to us, but I'll leave the details a mystery. (No, it's not The Mr.'s age on top and my age on bottom. Or vice versa.)
Anybody else out there have some vintage gas station numbers in her or his house? I'm curious!

Nice blog. I enjoy your talent. This is my first visit. I'm trying to find how you put the napkins in the bowls like that. They look so pretty. Susan
ReplyYou like the napkins in my blog header, huh? I just folded the napkins down into a long rectangle (I folded them down, but not across). Then I made a spiral out of them like a rosette. They loosened up a bit once I put them in the bowl, but it kept them in the rosette shape.
