A Fabulous Feature!

Thanks so much to Beckie at knockoffdecor.com.  She contacted me the other day to see if I would submit my sheet music dress form on her site to be compared with a dress form on PBteen. 

Well that was a no-brainer, yes please!

It was so fun to see my photo on their site.  Her site is so professionally put together.

Here is how it appears on her site:

Sheet Music Dress Form

Laura from Finding Home created this gorgeous music sheet dress form.  I think the sparkly knob on the top just adds to the perfection of this piece.

I saw a similar Dress Form at Pottery Barn Teen which retails for $199 but aren’t half as fabulous as Laura’s..

Thanks for reading and have a great night!

A Maple Mantel

Some good things of the day..

We had a two hour delay from the freezing temperatures following all the rain, so we had a nice relaxing morning.  This also meant that my gym class was canceled (woo hoo!)

The front yard is a wet mess.  You might not think that is a good thing, but it actually means that the drainage system we put in last year is working.  The drains are pulling all the rain and melted snow away from our house and towards the road.  Which means, knock on wood, so far, our basement is dry!  Woo hoo!!!!!!!!!

Today, I thought I would share a simple project, our maple mantel.

Try saying that 3 times fast…

Maple Mantel…Maple Mantel….Maple Mantel.

I made some minor adjustments to my Valentine mantel to be more in keeping with the time of year.

I still was enjoying the quiet and simplicity of this display, but knew Valentines was over.

Since this is our season for making maple syrup, I figured that would be a fun direction to go in.

I simply removed the things that screamed Valentine’s and then added a glittered maple leaf and a great metal and rusty maple stencil that I found on Etsy a while back.

Sometimes a subtle change is all ‘ya need.
