I am loving my latest inspiration board because the images remind me of my friends. I see this every time I walk into my office and the exposure to it is so good for me.
In this collage, everything looks beautiful together and blends with the pages I've torn from House Beautiful. You'd think one person chose all of these images to work together, but no.
The bright purple and pink postcards of Paris are from Sue. The John Derian giraffe card is one I bought when I was in New York with Kerry. A scene from Monet's Garden was mailed to me by Melissa. Most of the magnets are from Angie. There's a Happy New Year card of Big Ben from Renate. And two postcards of northern Michigan I got when I was out galavanting with my mom.
This board is good for me - a Visual Vitamin representing both what I love and who I love. Are you taking your visual vitamins?
Adorable! This tiny assortment of bottle brush trees makes me happy. The display acts as a kind of "visual vitamin" and I feel better every time I see it.
I have a Swedish-style plate rack in my family room and every Christmas I change the plates and decorations just a bit. I realize now that you haven't seen it as I have it now, so I will add another photo to this post this afternoon to give you the full perspective.
Something to "take away" from this post, is the idea of keeping your eyes open for new holiday touches at craft stores and discount shops. I found this collection of trees near the Christmas village and train set items (buildings, benches, people) at Michaels craft store. It was $1.99 for the set and they have certainly made my Christmas a little merrier.
You can see more of my house decorated for Christmas here.
