No, I am not abandoning the Nation's birthday, but I did make a
pit stop long haul to
Anthropologie today......I did some retail damage and even splurged on a FALL sweater dress, in my defense, it is summer colors. All this
Anthro set my design soul on fire! The store is always a decorators paradise, a tiny little world I would love to live in 24/7. Sadly I did not have the guts to whip out my camera, but am home now Googling. The store this morning welcomed me with Winn-Dixie shopping carts filled with planted trees, there were vintage bird cages for sale, knots of fabric lined ropes that filled the windows, these fabric strings also filled a taxidermy case to resembled vegetables growing, tons of clocks lined the walls, there was a
reupholstered movie chair.....
oooohhh there
was so much fun, not to mention a fabulous sale, that of which I guiltily partook.
Here is a Christmas-y design I found at Apartment Therapy. If you can sew a straight line, you can handle this. Take your old holiday cards,
obsolete calendars, magazines, catalogs, etc., and cut shapes out of them. Then just stitch a line through them to connect them. In a matter of minutes, you'll have a one-of-a-kind and
eco-friendly garland. Bonus: By recycling paper from around the house, you'll be getting rid of some clutter, too!
